Forty-third Day

Just watched the season premiere of John Oliver's show on HBO.

After watching the show I thought it sounded good to watch a movie - something easy (Trump makes life difficult)

Let's start On Demand with the Free Movies section.

Jerry Maguire - seen it.  Next...

Are We There Yet? - extremely unlikable children. Ice Cube stars as a single guy who doesn't like kids and his romance with a single Mom of two sassy little kids with attitude (who have attitude because they hope their Mom and Dad will get back together again - aww).  I suspect this will end as we all know it will.  I'm bailing around the time when Ice Cube offers to take her kids somewhere (24 minutes in FXM time) I guess it will be a trip with lots of hijinks ending with love and understanding between the guy and the kids.  Oh and the first five minutes was a Lincoln commercial.  You know I don't really mind sponsorships like that.  They used to do it in the old days of television.  I have a knee jerk reaction about it only 'cause I was a teenager in the 70's when commercialism was not cool.  Nowadays bands make lots of money and get recognition by letting their songs be used in commercials.  That was unheard of in my younger days, but even Bob Dylan let one of his songs be used in a commercial.  So, as he says The times they are a' changing.  Next...

The Brothers Solomon - Will Arnett and Will Forte.
Update on 02/13/2017 - movie was written by Will Forte.  I enjoy his sense of humor for the most part.  But - I fell asleep.  It turned out the movie was about the two brothers trying to get a baby for their father in a coma; he wanted grandchildren.
I won't continue watching it because it wasn't that interesting to me.
