Based on the movies being released in April to streaming sites, here it goes...

Popular movies I haven’t seen in a long time.

I am Legend - Netflix.
Snatch - Netflix. This deserves a rewatch, much like every “saw it in college” movie.
Beetlejuice - Amazon. How did Joe give this a C?
Mean Girls - HBO


Popular movies I haven’t seen.

The Fifth Element - Netflix.
Addams Family Values - Amazon. This has some bad ratings.
Blade - Amazon. This has to be 1A, right Shane?
Chinatown - Amazon. Jon and Lane both scored this highly. It’s a classic, right?
Days of Thunder - Amazon
Die Another Day - Amazon. Is this a Bond movie?
The World is Not Enough - Amazon. What is this?
Overboard (1987) - Amazon
A Time to Kill - HBO
Crazy Rich Asians - HBO. My significant other will want to see this so it’s really number 1 on the watchlist due to her automatic override.
BlacKkKlansman - HBO. Gotta stay hip with new-ish releases.


Somebody’s recommendation

Burning - Netflix - April 29. Jon gave this an A.


MMC says you should see.

A Quiet Place - Creative and good.
The Imitation Game - Netflix. This is worth watching although it should probably be a much darker movie.
The Hateful Eight - Netflix. All its overratedness shows up April 25. I’d skip it but Jon, Bobby, and Shane all like it.
In a World - Amazon. See note for Hateful Eight.
Up in the Air - Amazon. See note for Hateful Eight.

The MMC's trying out a new game, and you can, too!  We're predicting the top ten highest-grossing movies of the summer (plus three wild cards), with the winner to get a to-be-determined prize or maybe force a to-be-determined penalty on the losers.  We'll figure it out.

The rules apply for movies released between May 5 and Labor Day Weekend.  Using Box Office Mojo, we'll revisit how everyone did in September.  We've got 7 MMC'ers pitting their forecasting skills against each other.  The points system, pulled from Slash Film, is as follows:

  • Getting number 1 or number 10 dead-on gets you 13 points (each).
  • 10 points for numbers 2-9 dead-on
  • 7 points if your pick was only one spot away from where it ended up
  • 5 points if it was two spots away
  • 3 points if your pick is anywhere in the Top 10
  • 1 point for each dark horse that makes it into the Top 10
The scoring is tabulated so that you get the SINGLE HIGHEST point value for each pick- that is, if you get number ten right, you don’t get 13+3, you only get 13.

3/9 Update. The play-in games are over. Good. Thinking about those movies makes me irritated. The Jungle Book could upset Room as we begin the first 4 games of Round 1. Here we go!

3/14. Tucker and Dale with the big first round upset! Next 4 after the first 5 are up. Whoops. Go vote!
