As you know, I don't get out to see movies in the theater, like, ever, so it wasn't like I was going to see Suicide Squad until it was available to rent. The funny thing is, once it was available, it was still something like $5 bucks to rent, and I thought to myself, "You know what? I think I might just Redbox this one. I'm not sure if I want to spring more than a dollar on it..." And now it is available at Redbox, and I'm thinking, "I don't know...do I really want to see this?" I just know it's going to be terrible.

It's one of those movies where the more I think about it the stupider it becomes. Here's what I do like about it - Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Viola Davis, and Jai Cortney. That's it.

Β 

I should re-arrange my order cause I think I actually liked BvS more.

Well, just take my list, tear it up, and throw it straight in the goddamn garbage. Sing Street just took number one. The others can fall where they may...

I guess no one saw Nine Lives. Fantastic reviews.

Β 

"Cats may have nine lives, but you only get one, and it’s too precious to waste on this drivel. You’re better off watching a gif of a cat whose face is stuck in a slice of bread. It will save you $20 and a few hours of your time".

"The only reason this 'comedy' won’t derail Kevin Spacey’s career is no one will ever watch this outside of military interrogation rooms".
