I finished watching the Japanese crime/horror film Ichi The Killer. Not for the faint of stomach.

I'm currently watching Emilio Estevez and Harry Dean Stanton in Repo Man. A movie I can never get tired of watching.

Argo

Ben Affleck stars and directs this film showing the successful CIA-Canadian operation which 6 americans were rescued out of Iran in 1980. Great movie!

Thank you, Canada! :D


The motion picture twisted some of the facts a bit. It was -mostly- a Canadian operation. And that nonsense at the end, the plane taking off was pure Hollywood.

Oblivion

I was surprised by the amount of humor that was in the movie; An example: a bobblehead doll named "Bob" that Tom Cruise's character sometimes speaks to while on patrol.

Jack {Tom Cruise} is a drone repairman who repairs drones on Earth with the help of Victoria, his co-worker/girlfriend. What Jack doesn't know is everyone left Earth for a reason, but it wasn't the reason he believes.

Overall, a very well-done sci-fi movie, though there are two more sci-fi flicks due this summer that are similar to Oblivion, the movies are After Earth and Elysium.

District 9.
Great Sci/Fi distopic film addressing racism and South African Apartheid - - but with Aliens. And adressing the question, what line divides us from them.

The Place Beyond The Pines

A very emotional drama about fathers and sons. Many have compared The Place Beyond The Pines to
the 2005 film Crash, but The Place Beyond The Pines is a much better movie.

Ryan Gosling's and Bradley Cooper's performances were superb. If I ever met a guy who was experiencing issues similar to Officer Avery Cross' {Bradley Cooper}, I wouldn't know whether to hug him or whether to tell him to go into hiding.

I cried at the end.
