Tonight I just finished watching Hidden Figures, about three black women who were with NASA when the space program was in it's infancy. True story, and one of them has a building at the Kennedy Space Center named ater her. Watched it with my wife and daughter and I enjoyed it.
I really liked that movie. The three actresses did so well in that film.

Loved Hidden Figures aswell... incredible the number of women and minorities... forgotten by the "official" history until brave people are digging the truth.

Loved it to, wife and me have watched at least 4 times now. We think back to day when math was ruled by the Slide rule. Learned how do may things with it and even use like calculator.
"Hidden Figures" was a really good movie and it exceeded my expectations. The entire cast was excellent.

I wonder how much longer the producers can keep that show going? I guess they haven't run out of new ideas yet?

saw Red Sparrow with Jennifer Lawrence on vacation. Great movie
I plan on seeing it as well. The reviews have been overwhelmingly positive.

It will run until Mark Harmon decides to kill the money cow it has been for him over the years.
I personally run hot and cold on it. I watched it religiously during the Ziva years but quit for a few seasons and just recently picked it back up as a regular weekly viewing. It has reached a point that I don't automatically associate Wilmer Valderrama to his "That 70's show" character too.
Strange, interesting movie. Bryan Cranston is great as always.

First Flights with Neil Armstrong (1991): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101886/ It's ran for three seasons. It's available for viewing on Amazon Prime.
I have watched the first three episodes which cover the beginnings of flight into World War 1. I am enjoying the series and I think it would appeal to most SimHQers.
Both of these bombed at the box office. At least Tomb Raider got some decent reviews but critics hated Pacific Rim Uprising.

I finally saw “Justice League” and I think I know what the fundamental problem is with the movie. It tried to have the same kind of witty humor that the Marvel movies have while at the same time trying to be dark and serious in its overall tone. It just came off as awkward.
“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”
This movie had a production budget of 17 million and it has made 117 million at the domestic box office so far. Now that is the kind of ROI that makes studio execs scream like little girls!

The Shape of Water I don’t understand what the fuzz was all about. A flop, nope?

I thought it was reasonable (it received very good reviews) but the plot was a little 'wonky' for me. From a dodgy looking 'monster' to cleaning ladies with access to government secrets and the bath scene. Actually,thinking about it,who does the cleaning at these secret government places? Real question.
Guillermo del Toro's finest film for me is still Pan's Labyrinth though.
If you watch Jaws backwards, it's a heart warming story about a shark that spits out so many people that they have to open a beach.
