The Grandmaster Saw this earlier in the year, but it's available on iTunes now and will watch it again tonight. This movie defies categorization. It looks like an action movie, but it's more an

From the franchise that bought us: "I'll be back." And "Come with me if you want to live." Why does Arnie have gray hair? He's the Terminator!

You may have found out but he has grey hair because his skin can still age. Mostly to help the fact that Arnold is 20 years older than he was in T2. They are retconning the franchise, so Arnie went back to save Sarah Connor when she was a kid and ended up raising her.

Saw Exodus: Gods and Kings last night, I give it a bogey. Some of the action and landscape scenes were good but I thought the characters were kind of dull and the supporting cast wasn't used effectively. Also felt it was trying too hard to be "epic" without having enough character development/motivation scenes to back it up.

The One I Love is on Netflix now. Birdie. Great gem of a relationship mind bendy dramedy on what you want from a life partner.

hey @nevets88 this looks really interesting, anything else you can add?

It's a little science fiction-y. I'm not spoiling the plot by saying they encounter their doubles and it's fun watching them deal with it. Ted Danson has a funny part in it.

We watched a good movie on Amazon Prime the other day called Nebraska.

Stars Bruce Dern and Wil Forte.

It started a little slow but just builded to let you really see the characters as it went along.

Definitely a good one.

The One I Love gets a birdie from me. I enjoy movies that are a little mind bendy and you have no idea how things will end. Very Charlie Kaufman-esque.

Ida (EEEda) - OK, this is totally different than what I usually recommend here, it's a foreign film, subtitled, B&W;, slow paced, nothing gets blown up, no science fiction, but I was totally entranced by this movie. It's about an orphan raised in a convent who's about to take her vows, learns some life changing things about herself and her family, deals with it. A look into post WWII Europe, religion and communism. Tap in birdie. It's on Netflix.

Also, I'd suggest *NOT* watching the trailer, go in cold. This is probably going to be an Oscar nominee.

Watched First Blood this morning. Hadn't seen it in ages. I liked it. The final showdown has one of Stallones' better dialogue scenes. Easy par.

Fury- eagle. Pitt delivers. Like Redford as he has aged he looks more rugged and is believable in this role. The tightness and bond of a small unit warts and all is portrayed well.

Those tracers of the shells fired from the tanks and bullets from the machine guns during the tank battle were epic. Really gives you a feel of what it was like to be there, if that was an accurate depiction. It was almost like laser beams.

That scene in the room with the two German women. Tense.

Watched Good Will Hunting again last night.

Still rates as a birdie.

I might have liked to have a little more depth to the relationship between Lambeau and Maguire. Did Maguire give up math to go into psychology?

      Low Duck Hook Driver!

      By GolfLug ·

      Yeah, that's what I am suggesting OP check. If he does not have a grip issue then great. It's not unheard of grip issues causing duck hooks. Anyway I don't have a horse in the race. Good luck to the OP.

      Low Duck Hook Driver!

      By inthehole ·

      I too fought the dastardly low duck hook something awful this year - as you say it is a round killer, absolutely demoralizing.  I've golfed seriously for 14 years and this just crept in this year - CONSISTENTLY, never ever had to deal with it before.   Like you, it only affects my driver, not hybrids/irons.   So I fought it all year and spent alot of time trying everything under the sun to fix it.   At end of season, after an incredible amount of work, I did fix it.   It turned out to be a simple fix - it is a grip issue (for me).    I always set up with my driver with club head lag like the rest of my clubs.   My fix was to set up straight to the ball - NO LAG (no shaft lean).   What this does is slightly rotate the grip in your hands ... automatically, You won't have to intentionally change anything with your grip.   It will feel really weird, but lock in the grip with no shaft lean / clubhead lag & swing normally.   Its pure f'n magic - completely fixed my low short duck hook without any other change in setup or swing, ball position, ball height, etc.  Back to hitting nice high straight balls, even a tad of fade sometimes, which i'm fine with.   Grip still feels really strange & I have to ingrain it in my muscle memory over the winter indoors, but can't argue with the cnosistent results the last 7 or 8 rounds of the season.... absolutely mind blowing what a simple little change can do.

      Now wrap the hand up onto the grip. You've gotta have a pretty extreme grip to have your trail hand in flexion.

      By GolfLug ·

      It is hard to roll your trail palm underneath the grip (and further up in the palm) which puts the wrist in flexion? What am I missing?

      Trail hand wrist in flexion at P1? Same GIF as above. That's tough to do.
