Watched Good Will Hunting again last night.

Wife and I were just talking about that movie, planning on watching it again sometime next week. Been a while since the last time I saw it.

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

I used my little Fire Stick (which, annoyingly, is not at all battery powered) and it was on Prime for free.

Good Will Hunting gets a birdie. Lots of great scenes and Robin Williams was awesome. My favorite scene was towards the end between Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, when Chuckie tells Will about the best ten seconds of his day.

Firewall - it was an interesting movie that kept me wanting to know what happens next.. I didn't like the fact that the plot didn't turn on the bad guys in a more sophisticated way like I was expecting, and the ending was predictable. It gets a par because I wanted to finish the movie even though I knew how it would end.

Have any of you seen Coherence? Maybe @nevets88 since he's a fellow sci-fi geek?

Never heard of it. It's on Amazon Prime though. It's on my queue now. Is it good?

Have watched Home Alone and Home Alone 2 about 3 or 4 or 5 times in the last couple of weeks.  (Obviously not the whole thing beginning to end with popcorn and such, but just flipping stations and see that it's on.)  Those things never get old.

Birdies for both.  Even if they are carbon copies of each other.

Chinese Puzzle. Great little whimsical light drama, actually not a bad Christmas movie, happy ending, cute kids, funny. but not exactly a family movie, in a sense, even though it's about family, there's a guy in a fertility clinic and a lesbian scene but hey, it's French, directed by Cédric Klapisch, well known in France. It's the 3rd of a series, but you don't have to really know what went on in the first two, kind of like the Sunrise Trilogy. Birdie. It's on Netflix.

If you speak Mandarin, just this... Audrey Tatou (first language - French) in a scene speaking Mangarin, er Mandarin. Too funny.

Prolly not gonna get any Oscars, but a nice collage of scenes, some not seen in any of the previous trailers and the wonderful soundtrack.

Anyone seen The Interview yet? I think we'll stream it tomorrow.

Watched it Xmas night. Wasn't bad, but Francos over the top dumbness was a little annoying.

I give The Interview a solid par, there were some really funny scenes. Kids loved it. If you liked Pineapple Express or This Is the End, then you'll enjoy this movie.

22 Jump Street - Birdie. Way better than even the first one. Don't go into it expecting too much and you'll be HAPPY about what is offered. It's funny. The self-referential stuff is great.

No, it's the SAME THING. Just do the same thing again, it worked the last time. Why change?

Guardians of the Galaxy - Par.  I enjoyed it but only at par level.

The Skeleton Twins - with Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader.  Par.  Warning, Very serious movie, not a comedy.

      Low Duck Hook Driver!

      By iacas ·

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

      Low Duck Hook Driver!

      By GolfLug ·

      Yes, correct. Trail hand wrist in flexion at address. And grip up in palm.  I mean he is hitting duck hooks. You can hit them with any path with trail palm turned under the grip. I wouldn't eliminate that as a possibility sight unseen.  Extreme outward path highly unlikely for a high handicapper. $5 says trail palm cradling the grip from way under.

      Low Duck Hook Driver!

      By saevel25 ·

      @ChetlovesMer, I think @GolfLug is talking about almost having the right or left hand under the club. Like extreme strong grip. I would say DJ has one of the stronger grips. The V in his right-hand points towards his right shoulder. Like up his right arm.  I can see two ways to hit a duck hook. In my mind, a duck hook is caused by an extreme in to out swing path. I do not think grip strength is highly correlated with swing path.  DJ has a very strong grip from a PGA Tour perspective, and he hit fades off the tee. Morikawa has a strange weak left hand, but strong right hand and hits fades. Rory has more of a neutral grip and hits draws.  Yep, this ^

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      That'd great. I love indoor practice in the winter. In all seriousness. don't be afraid to go out and get lessons. It can take a while to find a swing coach that's right for you. I've had a myriad of them, some good, some not so good. One that I'm actually friends with, but he wasn't right for me as a coach. I work with @iacas these days, and he really helps me... I call him Yoda. I'm sure I improve more because of his lessons than I ever would on my own. Finding a good coach can be like finding the right spouse. ... possibly more difficult depending on where you live.  Secondly, don't be embarrassed to post a MySwing thread. A lot of golfers are like "eh, I don't want everyone to see how crappy my swing is." Don't be that golfer. Be the golfer who says "My swing needs work. Here's where I am at the moment."  Anyway, that's my 2 cents.  Enjoy the indoor facility, but time the snow melts away in the spring, you'll be ready to go.

      Thanks for all the thoughts and tips.  I truly appreciate it.   I’m going to work on it this winter at an indoor golf facility.
