Have you ever loved something, only to realize it’s a commercial flop or just obscure? What’s something that deserves more light than it got?

    Movie wise:

    1. Logan Lucky - “Trying to reverse a family curse, brothers Jimmy and Clyde Logan set out to execute an elaborate robbery during the legendary Coca-Cola 600 race at the Charlotte Motor Speedway.”

    I really found myself loving this movie, which was a surprised to me. But I believe that I found myself loving the characters and how they were shown on screen. I also loved the pacing of the movie. I never felt like there was a moment that had over stayed it’s stay. The story it’s self was interesting enough for me to keep wanting to watch as well. And no, it’s not a film, it’s a fun movie. It’s not trying to be the next Heat or The Sting.

    1. Kubo and the Two Strings - “Kubo mesmerizes the people in his village with his magical gift for spinning wild tales with origami. When he accidentally summons an evil spirit seeking vengeance, Kubo is forced to go on a quest to solve the mystery of his fallen samurai father and his mystical weaponry, as well as discover his own magical powers.”

    It’s a powerful film IMO. There was a lot to love from the experience and it’s one of my all-time favorite stop motion films ever.

      Kubo was really good. Only reason it isn’t better known is because it wasn’t a major studio. If they slapped a Pixar logo on it, it would’ve been huge.

        I think it won an Oscar. The truth is the themes and cinematography are too dark. Its also very artsy. It doesnt have the punch of a typical Pixar but, to me, thats why its so great. I love Disney but there can be other things. Just dont expect them to become household staples.

      yes! Kubo was such an amazing movie. And while on the topic of amazing stop-motion I’ll add Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio.
