I won't watch Kong. Logan is worth watching.

I'm looking forward to Promise, a film about the Armenian Genocide.

I hope it doesn't suck with revisionist history.

How would they "revise" it...say it didn't happen?

Well, genocides have been denied in the past. The American press and Hollywood have never really admitted to the Holodomar in Russia. Maybe there have been other films on the Armenian Genocide but I don't know of any.


It's getting pretty crappy ratings, sounds like because of how it handles the genocide.

Hell or High Water was awesome.

Good thread! But this one is specific to this year. Both worthwhile endeavors.

This looks pretty good.



Definitely not going with a lady friend, though.
