Eh I thought it was gonna be garbage going into it but I actually enjoyed it. Not a great movie by any means but it was totally watchable and good enough for me. I really liked the interactions between the psychotic sheriff and the crazed mother. Gore effects were pretty good too.

Alien Covenant. It was neat. Not as bad as everyone says. Has a different flow and feel to it. I wouldn't say it was great or anything, not horrible. Prometheus was better. Hope it doesn't turn out that is a cliffhanger never revisted in movie form.

Except for the part where
Spoiler:
Prometheus was way better indeed - hope they don't mess up the lore anymore in sequels.

It doesn't change anything. There is almost nothing known to the audience about how life is on that planet. I mean, its another planet that had different looking dudes on it. You can't expect all planets to be exactly like Earth.
And still, not seeing any mess up of lore. I think people have been trying to force "IMPC" onto everyone else and that's what the problem is.

Wakefield.
A successful suburbanite commuter Howard Wakefield (Bryan Cranston) takes a perverse detour from family life. He vanishes without a trace. Hidden in the attic of his carriage house garage.
Polarizing type of a film. Not for everyone. But another top performance by Bryan Cranston.
The Girl On The Train
An alcoholic who rides a train aimlessly since losing her job.
The acting essentially keeps it afloat; The material is pretty standard and, ultimately, predictable.
The Shape of Water
Romantic dark fantasy drama.
A unique and original science fiction love story that is sometimes weighed down too heavily by an unoriginal villain plot line.

Rising Sun- Sean Connery speaking Japanese aside... I remember when Wesley Snipes wasn't just Blade or a tax dodger, he was so awesome.
Major League- I don't know if this is just an Ohio movie but damn if it isn't funny and the cast is amazing.
A Wesley Sniper double play today.
Also agree with TH: A Girl on the Train was OK, kinda felt like watching a shitty movie length episode of The Killing.
Really enjoyed Wakefield.

Have you been to other planets?
No seriously, I agree with most of what you're saying but it feels -to me- as a cheap way to dilute the Alien franchise in a way that it doesn't need. They could have been a little more creative, don't you think?
That black ooze (but sometimes pollen and other times insects!) is used as a cheap plot device to hurt all the one dimensional characters. It left me confused and sad that they went this route because the Alien franchise deserves better.

got to be one of the worst movies i've ever seen. boring all the way through, very predictable ending and very unnecessarily sexual. main character wasn't likeable at all so you didn't care when you found out the truth about her at the end.

The Girl on the Train does indeed suck. Cynical attempt to cash in on mystery thrillers with "Girl" in the name. Emily Blunt is usually great, but nothing was going to save that garbage.
Saw The Commuter - Liam Neeson action-ish vehicle no. 2,594. Patrick Wilson gives it a little life in his parts, but other than that, nothing interesting.

Den of Thieves - not a good movie, but not terrible. Felt like a low-brow version of Heat, from various scenes to the characters to the length (this is 2 hrs and 20 minutes, and it should have been about an hour and forty). Gerard Butler was entertaining as the lead. Ending was dumb as hell.

I really enjoyed Den of Thieves. It was so fucking ridiculous. They did everything but nuke that armored van at the startd
I don't regret watching it or anything, it was entertaining in that bonkers way you're referring to. O'Shea Jackson Jr. sure does look like his dad, and I can't help but think he's going to get plenty of roles. He has charisma.

Isle of Dogs - first off, wow, a Wes Anderson movie made it to theaters over here. Unfortunately it isn't that great. It's good, sure. But it's probably Wes's weakest. I kept thinking why I didn't like this as much as anything else he's done, and I realized it never made me feel. It never had that 'Mr. Fox meets the wolf' level of emotion in a scene that made me cry. I'm glad it came over here and still got to see it though.
I also felt the white girl foreign student character was unnecessary and could have been done with a Japanese student instead. Looking online now it seems there's some controversy with that, no surprise. I didn't feel offended by it, just a 'this character should have been someone else.'

Tango & Cash - Sly & Kurt really has great chemistry...Fun & funny all around w/ some good ol action. My kids were laughing their ass off, not sure if was appropriate due to there age but whatever.

I recall it was the first movie in which I heard the term "FUBAR".

Not long back from watching avengers infinity war, marvel fanboy so yeah it was pretty awesome for me.
Thanos is the best villian so far in an mcu film and thor steals the show as the best of the hero's, load's of very cool action scenes, and quite a few hero's bumped off, make sure to stick around for the end credit scene as well.
