Let The Right One In: 6/10
I thought this was ok, but not the 'best vampire movie ever' as advertised on the cd case. It didn't help that the version I had was an English dub instead of in Swedish. I read the novel which I thought was better. There was more backstory than what was portrayed in the movie. Don't know if I want to bother with the Matt Reeves remake.

I watched Annihilation last night and as @den1mhead said, great visuals at the end but that was really about it for me.
-
Watched Coco the other night with my boy and thought it was very good. My son thought it was scary at first but afterwards when I explained to him the importance of family and honoring them (after they've died) it made him cry.

Coco is the shizzle. Best animated flick ever in the whole wide universe.
I feel like I say this once a month in here.

Agreed. Although, I tend to think most Pixar films are pretty good. Coco kinda reminded me a little of some of the stuff Miyazaki has put out – a good story that typically creates an emotional response. Even though parts of Coco were sad there were other parts that were uplifting and positive.
-
Story was good, animation was amazing, the Dia De Los Muertos and Mexican culture as a whole was represented accurately (to the best of my knowledge anyways). It's a very rich, strong, vibrant culture that doesn't get represented too often in mainstream media and Pixar nailed it.

The Mummy: 6/10
Not sure what I thought of The Mummy. I like Tom Cruise and there were elements I liked, but if this was their attempt at reviving the old Universal classics then it could've been better.

I went into it with very low expectations and was pleasantly surprised at the end. Not a great movie but, not a total waste of time, either.

The latter would be "Murder on the Orient Express", the remake by Kenneth Branagh?
If so, may I recommend the original 1974 film by Sidney Lumet, with Albert Finney as Hercule Poirot? Truer to the book, the Poirot character (much!), and overall so much better!

Interesting; I have a strong feeling it's going to be meh.
I suspect both our opinions will be confirmed for us upon viewing.

Avengers Infinity War was…......pretty good.

same, but then again, I still haven't seen The Last Jedi so that about sums up my excitement towards the Star Wars franchise.
Tonight i'll be watching either The Babadook or Jack Reacher: Never Go Back

I enjoyed Avengers, though I'd agree with reviews that it depended on the other films in the franchise to do the heavy lifting in setting up the characters.
I was really amused by the "We can deep fry your kebab" sign in the window of a Scottish takeaway, though.
I saw Isle of Dogs on Monday, which is Wes Anderson's latest. That's better than The Avengers.
