Everybody Wants Some!!

Rush Hour

Batman v Superman on blu-ray.

I watched both the theatrical release and the extended (by 30 minutes) version. The additional 30 minutes was more than fighting scenes, which a guy I know jokingly said it would be ("it will be 30 minutes of Batman and Superman pounding the s*** out of each other.") One place the additional footage appears is at the beginning. It changes the story in the desert.


Suddenly on dvd from Netflix.

A 1954 Frank Sinatra film about a group of killers hired to kill the president in a small town named Suddenly. I liked the film. The script and acting represent a style that no longer exist. Frank is enjoyable. There is a sheriff in the film played by Sterling Hayden, ten years before the fluoridation of our drinking water would threaten to rob us all of our precious bodily fluids.

I watched 'Filth' on Netflix. Really dark but pretty entertaining, needed to turn the subtitles on because the Scottish accents got a bit hard to follow. Reminded a bit of 'In Bruges' but more over the top, if you liked that then you might like this. James McAvoy gives a really strong performance.

Also watched this random dubbed Norwegian move 'The Wave' which was actually pretty decent, the fjords of Norway are so beautiful and they play prominently in this movie. A bit corny but disaster movie isn't? Very scary scenario, I think they did it justice. The dubbing is not super great, I could of watched it in Norwegian with subtitles but I'm lazy.

Just saw it as well...

I found it rather underwhelming, however...

It recycles quite a few plot elements from previous Star Trek movies, and I found the dialogue to be very predictable...

'The Man Who Knew Infinity', directed by Matthew Brown and starring Dev Patel and Jeremy Irons.

It tells the true story of Srinivasa Ramanujan, a self-taught mathematician in India, who gets the opportunity to travel to England and attend classes at Trinity College so that he might publish his brilliant theorems. He is aided by Professor G. H. Hardy. The movie is a bit sappy on some points, but it picks up after a half hour or so when Ramanujan reaches England; especially the acting by Patel and Irons is excellent. It doesn't, however, delve in-depth into any of the mathematics; the movie isn't an introduction to Ramanujan's works for laymen such as me. But as a period piece and a character study, it's very nice.

The Two Towers

Witness for the Prosecution

The Brady Bunch Movie.

Anatomy of a Murder

I was surprised by how much humor there was in the movie, especially in a scene where Bones is treating an injured Spock. Bones becomes pissed off and mentions fecal matter to Spock.

The Secret Life Of Pets

My Neighbor Totoro

I like the Catbus!

Rooster Cogburn

Inside Out

Lights Out.

After a young woman's step-father is brutally murdered, and and CPS intervenes when her younger brother keeps falling asleep in class but the school can't contact his mentally ill mother, she takes her brother home. That's when she realizes he claims he's seeing the same bogeyman (or in this case, bogeywoman) who had haunted her as a child. Soon, she learns that the specter has a connection to her mother's haunted past.
This movie lives up to the name of it's genre, as a horror film, as it's genuinely scary!
