Star Wars TFA, now I am no fan of JJ Abrams, but this film was surprisingly good, I even cried at a couple of bits.

Touch of Evil

The big Short.

I saw The Big Short yesterday it was a damn good movie! Michael Burry {played by Christian Bale} gave me the impression that he was Aspie-ish. In fact, Burry says in a voice over that he admits to being socially awkward, even around people he works with. He plays loud music in his office. The real Michael Burry stated in an interview that he himself has AS after his son was diagnosed with AS. It makes me wonder if Christian Bale is an Aspie, but who knows.

As for the movie, I thought Ryan Gosling talking directly to the camera was OK, but the cameos were so annoying that I wanted to throw my popcorn at the screen.

The Forest

The Longest Yard (1974)

Far From Men: a french film about two men trekking trough the Atlas Mountains in Algeria during the war for Algerian independence from France. Viggo Mortensen is Spanish descended teacher in the Atlas mountains when Reda Kateb is left with him as a prisoner convicted of murder to be transported to a nearby city. The two men set off towards the city as Viggos character tries to persuade Reda's that he is free and not to surrender to the French and die in the city. English subtitles only

X+Y it's a film on UK Netflix at the moment, about a kid with ASD who is good at maths. I found it quite moving.

The Punisher.
I wish Marvel would remake this with the marvel Powerhouse behind it.

yeah... i just mentioned it...though for US it's known as A Brilliant Young Mind...

I wish similarly for Ghost Rider.

Bicentennial Man

How was it? I've been curious to see it for a while now.

The Visit.

A teenage girl, named Becca, plans on making a documentary upon being invited along with her younger brother to visit their mother's estranged parents for a week. Soon, the two discover the bizarre behavior exhibited by their grandparents. When they express their concern to their mother, via Skype, she tells them her parents are just strange because they're old. Fearing that her grandparents are going to be lost to mental illness, Becca tries to work a reconciliation out between them and her mother. That's when the M. Night Shamylan twist comes around. I seriously wasn't expecting it. It wasn't the best of Shamylan's films, but the twist is something else.

I think that is a good idea.
