The Girl on the Train. It was partly my own fault, I didn't do a more thorough check before going to the cinema. It seemed okay at first sight. I thought it was some thriller-drama watchable thing. It was a fucking chick flick, albeit an uncharacteristically depressive one. There was nothing in it for the male audience. I simply had nothing to watch there. I have more fun in the groceries store.

Sully was good. It was a very well made film, realistic and exciting. Tom Hanks at his best (and I'm not a fan of his).
Star Trek was boring, and so was
Tarzan. But, frankly, we are at a moment in time when Hollywood blockbusters have sunk to their lowest level (so far, they can go lower). That stuff, the way they do it, doesn't work anymore. I won't even go near the likes of
Ben-Hur, or
The Magnificent Seven. I know they're recycled overdone garbage.
It's the dramas and the lower-budget films where it's at now. And the indie scene. Those ones deliver. Stay away from the 200m+ movies. Their content is so tightly controlled they've lost all novelty. The scripts of those films are prototypical, they follow tried and tested plot turns and time frames. In essence, the script is prewritten, and the particular content (genre, subject matter, characters, etc) are just filled in the blanks. Complete and utter bullshit is the outcome.
