Jason Bourne

Matt Damon returns as Jason Bourne! This one has cyber things but still lots of fighting and clandestine operations. Glad to have seen this one at the movies instead of waiting for the dvd!

Finest Hour

Great movie about the greatest small boat rescue in Coast Guard history. Chris Pine and Casey Affleck do a great job on their roles! This one makes thw First Date recommendation!

How To Be Single

How to Be Single is a 2016 American romantic comedy film and is based on the novel of the same name by Liz Tuccill. Was not certain on this one, but rented it. Liked the movie; funny moments to keep this going. Would hold as a first date movie given the movie's title... "How To Be Single". But, do check it out after a few more dates later with your significant other!

Exposed

Movie with Keanu Reeves as a detective investigating his partner's murder.

Slow start and very confusing. Had to finish watching it, else should have picked a different movie.

Hold on this one and skip it as a first date movie!

Nice Guys

Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling in a comedy as Private Investigators looking for a Department of Justice Director's daughter. The Director is played bt Kim Basinger.

Good movie, saw it at a theater that had reclining seats!

The Book Thief

Good movie with Geoffrey Rush, Emily Watson, and Sophie Nelisse set in Workd War II Germany. Sophie play Liesel - a young girl adopted by a Geoffrey and Emily who play an elderly German couple. Liesel cannot read and is quickly taunted by schoolmates for being dumb.

However, after her adopted parent's take in Max - a Jew hiding from the Nazis, Liesel befriends him, and they soon form a lasting friendship. Learning of her illiteracy, Max teaches her to read and write which will eventually play a key role in Liesel's adult life.

Good movie, starts slow but does pick up - especially like Liesel and her schoolmate/friend Rudy and their interaction with each other as kids! Do see this one when you get the chance!

Dead Pool

Ryan Reynolds as a comic book character that cannot be killed. Funny  quips and references to the X-men franchise. Suggestions of a sequel were noted as well.

Good movie but not on the first date rating. Do give it a watch when yo u get a chance!

Lucky Slevin

Watched this while working out on a treadmill. Has Josh Harnett, Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, and Ben Kingsley. Interesting story line that has a twist that is not so good for the bad guys.

Good movie but save for a rainy day.

Revenant

Just came back from the Movies... saw Revenant starring Leondardo DiCaprio as Mountain Man and Scout Hugh Glass. After being mauled by a bear, left for dead, Hugh comes back from near death and takes revenge on the man that killed his son.

Glad to have seen this one at the Theater, did not mind paying the premium on tickets (Friday Night opener in Dallas). May be a little queasy for a first date movie with all the blood and guts but we do say don't miss this one!

For more, see details at IMDB.

Saint Vincent

Bill Murray as an old man living his life as he sees fit, New neighbors move next door - a divorced Mother with a young Son. Soon enough they become part of his life due to circumstances no one planned for... Bill becomes the Son's babysitter.

Good movie; glad to have rented this one on a whim! For more details, see IMDB.

Spectre with Daniel Craig

Daniel Craig making it happen again with the latest in the James Bond Franchise. Great movie... not going to say much more other than go see it at the theater!

San Andreas

Been meaning to watch this one for a while. Finally got around to it. Was pleasantly surprised... Liked it!

Bridge of Spies

Tom Hanks in a Steven Spielberg movie about the Cold War and some of the unofficial deals made to exchange prisoners. Liked the movie; even better that it was inspired by true events!

Do check it out! Saw this one at the movie theater instead of waiting for the DVD!

Pitch Perfect 2

Sequel to Pitch Perfect with many of the same actors and actresses from it. Liked the movie, not as good as the first but still liked it.Glad to have rented instead of paid the premium at the theater.

Mad Max - Fury Road

Not sure how it ties in to the original Mad Max but this one turned out to be a good one to rent. May not make the First Date rating but still do check it out when you get a chance.

This one has Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron and has a story line that has Max helping out Charlize in a ploy to save some women.

For more, see IMDB.

Two Night Stand

Miles Teller and Analeigh Tipton in a safe first date movie about two people who meet online for the sole purpose of a one night stand. Each has their reason for doing so; regardless, both endup having to spend another night - actually an entire day together, due to a snow storm.

Safe first date movie; was a pleasant surprise to have rented this one on a whim. Mainly rented it because I liked Miles Teller in another movie - Whiplash. Also, I like Analeigh in her role as the infatuated teen in Crazy, Stupid, Love.

For more, check it out at IMDB.

Cuban Fury

Funny movie that set in England. Has Nick Frost, Rashida Jones, Chris O'Dowd, and Ian McShane as main characters.

Add Salsa dancing, funny moments of co-workers bantering about, and a light-hearted story line of one mans struggle to impress a pretty woman who turns out to his boss, too.

As luck would have it, they both like to Salsa! Safe first date movie. Do rent it when you get the chance! See more on IMDB.

Identical

Here is one I rented on a whim. Came out in 2014... two twins separated at birth during the hard times of the Great Depression. A poor family gives one of the twins to a Preacher and his wife who cannot have their own baby.

One becomes a Rock Star; the other struggles through life in a search for his calling. Eventually, things come together in the end.

Movie has a "hokie" feel to it; songs are okay, but in the end, did enjoy the movie. Save it for a rainy day and rent it then.

Hold as a first date movie. For more details, see it at IMDB!

Jersey Boys

Here is one that I have been meaning to see but never got around to it. Directed by Clint Eastwood; based on the Broadway Play of the same name... it's a look at Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons from their beginnings in New Jersey to fame and fortune as well as misfortune.

Good movie; okay for a first date. Just be aware that Frankie gets divorced.... also, did not know that Joe Pesci was involved in the Four Seasons briefly at their start. Sorta like a Talent Scout for them.

For more do see details at IMDB.

Whiplash

Movie with Miles Teller and J.K. Simmons that casts them as music student and music teacher, respectively. Was not expecting much but was soon hooked in the first 15 minutes. Glad to have watched this one; hit or miss as a first date movie since the guy does not get the girl. Regardless, liked the ending! See more on IMDB!
