First Viewings...
-The Meg (2018) (Sep 25th 2018) - 5/10 (enjoyable enough for a one time viewing. but I can't believe this movie made $521.3mil+ and counting in the theaters as based on the commercials it looked like some semi-generic movie that I would have never guessed to join the half-of-billion+ $ club.)
-Thoroughbreds (2017-2018) (Sep 27th 2018) - 4/10 (the two leads are decent, but the overall movie just don't click.)
-Upgrade (2018) (Sep 28th 2018) - 5/10 (one of those movies that's a fairly solid one time viewing but I just can't see myself going out of my way to see it again as I think it was close to being re-watch level but something is missing (maybe a overall better cast etc(?)) which is why when it was all over I had more of a forgettable opinion of it.)
-Bat 21 (1988) (Sep 29th 2018) - 6/10 (while this is pretty much my 1st viewing I did see bits and pieces of it on TV years ago but I don't think I seen it in it's entirety til now, at least not from a proper source like I just did. it's carried by Hackman/Glover.)
Re-watches...
-Arrival (2016) (Sep 30th 2018) - 6/10 (my 2nd viewing and it held steady. it's pretty much carried by the visuals of the movie which give it atmosphere etc. Amy Adams is always nice to look at as a bonus 
)
)p.s. in general for me... 5/10 or less = Thumbs Down. 6/10 or higher = Thumbs Up.
NOTE: I am about to start a re-watch of Boardwalk Empire (2010-2014) to see how it holds up as I have only seen it once in it's entirety so far and this will be my 2nd viewing. so I suspect this will be using up most of my time over the next few weeks to a month or so as it's 56 episodes long. but I suspect ill still see some movies though, just less than usual.

OP's...
-Blue Streak (1999) - 6/10 (yeah, it's a simple/fun comedy type of movie and Lawrence carries it. Nov 20th 2015 is my most recent re-watch of this.)
