Watching [REC]4. Loading very slowly so watching piece by piece but judging by the first few minutes it's going to be as good as the previous ones.

OK, I stand corrected, the fourth installment is pretty boring, still have about a third of the way to go so maybe something spectacular will happen but so far yawn

OK giving up. I've seen too many zombie movies to sit through another sub-par one. Going to watch the latest Homeland and Newsroom instead. So much for [REC]4.

Alright! another FireFly fan.

I just watched Guardian of the Galaxy and it's a fun popcorn movie.

<--- Die hard Star Wars fan. I could never get into BSG...or Star Trek for that matter. I watched a few episodes of the "new" BSG and wasn't impressed by it. I don't think I've ever watched the older stuff.

No, the only sci-fi I've ever been impressed with outside of Star Wars was Firefly (obviously). And that didn't even last a full season.

Can't stop the signal!

I have to admit, GotG didn't appeal to me at all when I saw the previews for it. But pretty much everyone I know, even in my geek circles, says it's a good movie. I need to remember to add it to my watch list.

Yeah...what's the other movie that everyone always talks about? Uh...Has Tim Allen in it. Supposed to be a spoof of Star Trek or something.

I thought that looked stupid also, and have never seen it. But everyone always talks about how good it is.

Ha. I watched Galaxy Quest two weeks ago, never seen it before then. I thought it was funny and Sigourney Weaver has a nice rack in the movie.

I liked The Winter Soldier way better than the first one. I love all the Marvel movies. Just wrapped up Guardians of the Galaxy a couple minutes ago. SO much fun.

OK going to watch it, The Interview. I'm sure it's dumb and all this North Korea stuff was just a publicity stunt to get a bunch of people to watch a dumb movie but here we go.

Just watched Foxcatcher. I was really surprised how boring it is. I was expecting something much more intense. Steve Carell was superb in his strictly dramatic portrayal of John du Pont; he's barely recognizable. And Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo also give it their all. But for the life of me I have no idea what was going on. What was the problem between du Pont and Mark Schultz? Why did du Pont do what he did at the end of the film? I was expecting something in the lines of Rocky and instead it was more like Behind the Candelabra. I know it's based on a true story but I had no idea what the motivation of anyone was, why what was happening was happening. And the editing made it so long and drawn out. In one scene, du Pont asks his driver if its snowing out, the driver says no, and then they just stand / sit there for ten or more seconds as if something important was happening in the stillness and silence. Except nothing important was happening. They were just sitting / standing there. When the credits finally rolled after two long hours all I could do was shrug and ask "What the hell was that even about?"

I had to do a little web surfing to try to figure out what the story was about and came up with this article

http://www.courierpostonline.com/st...dder-john-du-ponts-bizarre-downfall/13556321/

I'm wondering why they didn't concentrate more on du Pont's madness. The movie makes him out as eccentric but not insane. If they had portrayed his mental problems the ending would make some sense. Plus apparently there was a 48 hour stand off between du Pont and police that was wrapped up in about fifteen seconds at the end of the film that could have been the big climax. Poor film making. Probably will win an Oscar.

While I was goofing around on VU last night, boyfriend watched 47 Ronin. I was mostly paying attention to it, while cruising threads. I thought it was pretty good, he enjoyed it. Not "blockbuster" but not bad at all. He also recorded The Lego Movie, lol. You know, for that kid in him. ;)

I've been wanting to see that one Huck. Big fan of Tadanobu Asano. If you like weird Japanese movies, watch Ichi the Killer. It's freeeeaky.

Yeah, very little mythology. Another movie that the guys talked me into watching was Anchorman 2 directors cut. OMG. I felt my brains leaking out after 5 minutes, and even they shut it off after 20 minutes. So bad. So so bad.

So I've heard. I used to like Will Ferrell but now all his movies are the same character. Pushing it too far. It's old and tired. I can better ways to destroy the gray matter.

Watching The Missouri Breaks, a 1976 western starring Jack Nicholson and Marlon freakin' Brando no less. I can't remember if I've ever watched this one before. Should be interesting.

Just saw Wild http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2305051/?ref_=nv_sr_1

It was okay, thought it would be a bit better. It was hard to watch, kept having flashbacks that were disjointed and piecemeal. I also didn't see the entire point of it because she goes out on a two month hike in order to escape her addictions yet on the way she boozes it up and sleeps with a stranger so didn't see how she escaped anything really. Reese Witherspoon gives a great performance but otherwise it was long and sort of predictable.

I wasn't that impressed with Planet of the Apes either. Not enough actual story, just cgi special effects from beginning to end, and how in the short time that apes were evolving did they learn to tame and ride horses? They still lived in trees. You have to have stables and grazing pastures to raise horses.

Bird Man is really good! Different movie in that is done to be all in one shot in and around a stage theatre in New York. So be rested and focused watching the movie. Good performance from a really great cast!! Oh ya and a drumming score to boot!!

I also saw Imitation Game a couple of days ago. Pretty good but did not fully captivate me. Benedict did a fine job portraying a brilliant but socially awkward individual but some how left not feeling tension that the movie seemed to be trying to convey.

I am looking forward for the new Road Warrior movie coming Fury Road.. And of course Inherent Vice!!!

Take it easy!!

Well for Prat Falls and silliness it looks like Padington is going to be right up your ally.. I had not really gotten that from the books but the trailer sure does seem to be full of it..

Young Frankenstein is beyond a masterpiece!!!

I can still hear the horses brae when some one says Frau Blücher!! :D

The Interview is really that bad?
Looks like a good movie from the previews on tv, or is it one of those movies where the previews are pretty much all the good parts?
