War For The Planet Of The Apes [Blu-ray] [2017] by Matt Reeves

It's a western! It might be called war but it's a Western. Replace the apes with Indians and the story has all the tropes of westerns, individual seeking revenge, individual trying to destroy a threat, miscellaneous adoption of enemy children, heroic deaths, final escape over the hills (or sand in this case). I enjoyed it but also found it rather depressing.

The Wolverine by James Mangold

An otherwise solid (if a bit dour) film saddled with a rather lacking finale and conclusion that takes a bit of the air out of it. Still, in the wildly uneven X-Men franchise, this is one of the better installments.

Unstoppable by Tony Scott

A runaway train is... unstoppable.

How is this movie good? I'd like to think it was made on a dare. Someone took the most idiotic, cliche-ridden, disaster of a script they could find, and challenged the director to make a good movie out of it. (Sadly, that would explain how most of Fox's movies get made.) And somehow they pulled it off. What the hey.
