I really wanted to see that. And I'd kinda forgotten about it. Thanks for the reminder.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. The first act had me wondering what the hell I was watching but it ended up being really good!

"Rapture-Palooza"

Awful, and I usually like Craig Robinson's schtick.

I couldn't finish this. I gave it maybe 30 minutes before I just went 'Nup!' and turned it off

End of Watch - much better than expected; knock off of Training Day, but still quite enjoyable

The Hunt - pretty distressing movie, things spiral out of control a little too easily. But, overall it was a good movie and nicely acted; Mads Mikkelson is really good in this.

The Running Man: Hunger Games part 0. Fuckin' classic film where Arnie says he won't kill a helpless man, then five minutes later does exactly that. It was a golden age.

Finally watched Inside Llewyn Davis. To be honest, it was kind of disappointing.

I think I may have just been looking forward to it too much. I enjoyed the cinematography and (some of) the music, but it really felt flat otherwise.

Nebraska...i fucking loved it. A great view on the humbleness of small town America. A lot of it resonated with me on that level.

Wolf of Wall St. I liked it, though I wouldn't say its one of his best. Jonah Hill was suprisingly good, though it seemed like his character was kinda left out near the end.
Spoiler: show
The Ferrari scene was hilarious. I was dying. also, "Benifuckin'Hana".

Being from the cow country of Wisconsin, I am biased towards movies set in Middle America, but I really appreciate when they come around (Shotgun Stories, Winter's Bone, August Osage County). I think a lot of them touch on the theme of family loyalty & the importance of family legacy. And that humbleness usually shows.

The only problem I have is that Hollywood likes to exploit a stereotype of the people. They might highlight them as dumb or ignorant, or backwoods meth-heads. I'm generalizing, of course. One of the exceptions is Jeff Nichols. He always showcases the setting & its people in a sincere, respectable light.

I have yet to see Nebraska, though!

He was surprisingly good? I took a look at one 60 second clip with him in it and I knew he was going to be Oscar worthy. He is to Dicaprio what Pesci was to Deniro. I read that him and Leo are getting together for another movie, fyi.
