Enough Said - Eagle. Lovely, sweet movie about relationships and compromise that doesn't come across as overly saccharine. Gandolfini showed great comedic timing and never thought of Tony Soprano.

3 Days to Kill, with Kevin Costner.

Honestly one of the better Costner movies. One character I did hate, but really not an important piece, just an annoyance. The primary important characters were really well done. It was a fun movie to watch.

Overall, Solid Par.

The Fifth Estate

Lipped in a long par putt.

Might have been a bogey except for the importance of the story.

(I almost typed "The Fifth Element," which I'd rate as a birdie. Multi-Pass?)

Watched Drinking Buddies with the wife over the weekend on Netflix. I had never heard of it, so I didn't know what I was getting into. But overall, I'd say it's a solid sandy. Nice start, a little dodgy in the middle, but a nice save for par in the end.

Watched Now You See Me . I give it a rattled in par. It was fun, at least. I saw most of the big twists coming. Isla Fisher is hot.

Godzilla! 25 foot birdie for the trailer. Hope the movie is as good. Some odd casting in a big budget monster movie - Juliette Binoche. David Strathairn.

Heisenberg is just going to kill him with the blue stuff.

At least water doesn't kill him like the aliens in Signs .

That was too easy, the ending in Signs. Swing away. Frozen - birdie.

I'd been meaning to watch Drinking Buddies for a while, finally did today. I give it a birdie. I didn't love the ending, but only because you could kinda tell what was going to happen, and I just didn't want it to. Overall, great movie. It helps that anything with Anna Kendrick and Olivia Wilde couldn't possibly get worse than a par rating.

Now that is a debate among it self,

Toy Story, Toy Story 2, Toy Story 3, Finding Nemo, Up

I mean, its hard pressed to actually name a best ever when it comes to Pixar. :-P

I'd agree with nevets, I think, if I was forced to pick a best ever. But, yeah, they're pretty much all good. Speaking of Up ... Watched Guess Who's Coming To Dinner (again) last night ... I'd give this one an eagle as well. Phenomenal movie. Spencer Tracy died two weeks after filming, and apparently Katharine Hepburn never watched the finished film.

Saw Non-Stop last night, I give it a ho-hum par. The reveal was kind of dull but I do enjoy seeing Liam Neeson is this action roles.

    • Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip. 
    • Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
    • Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
