This Oscar Sunday I chose two movies that are on the opposite sides of the movie universe. Robocop, the 2014 reboot was an action packed and plotless fun ride. McFarland USA was an emotional true story adaptation that had me in tears numerous times. The most I have liked Kevin Costner since his NFL draft movie. Robocop was everything you would expect it to be, except it was actually pretty fun to watch. Great action and pretty decent acting for the popcorn movie that it was. Samuel L Jackson and Gary Oldman were pleasant surprises in their small roles.
Exercise wise it was a good day with 112 minutes on the treadmill and 6.2 miles. Eating wise it was sketchy. It always is on movie theater days. I love buttered popcorn. Other than the super large popcorn, I actually did pretty well. Too much pop as usual, but I can live with my choices today.
Overall Robocop gets 225 out of 297 for pure action packed fun.
McFarland USA gets a 240 out of 297 for a classic emotional Disney true story.
