Well, that was good. Arnold seemed very into it...some nice shots...fun.

Well it wasnt special, but it was nice. A cool change for a zombie movie.

Yeah, this was a really interesting one. A lot to mull over.

Really? I want to see it.

Saw No Escape last night. It's pretty intense (to the point of often being unpleasant to sit through), but I don't think it accomplished much, and I think it's deeply problematic both thematically and as a thriller. Also, I wish Dowdle had found a way to keep his usual found footage style; that immediacy would have elevated this material.

But did the kids live when they were thrown from roof to roof?!

Finally saw Birdman. I liked it.

I NEED TO KNOW. And I don't want to spend 6 bucks to find out.

Spoiler: show

They live. The movie doesn't do anything unexpected.

Miracle Mile

Lawrence of Arabia is up in my queue. One of the classics I've never watched; I'm sure it will be a two nighter once I do get to it.

You're in for a treat.

Saw Hitman: Agent 47. A total mess. All over the place. Poorly edited and full of cheap CGI. There were some interesting ideas sprinkled here and there, but mostly it was just boring.

Transformers age of extinction.

My god this is fucking terrible. almost 3 hours? God I hate michael bay more than anything in the world maybe.

Yeah that one was bad

trying to watch Welcome to Me, but i'm not gonna make it.

Chappie.


God...awful. really awful. Its basically the same movie that Distric 9, with a little short circuit and a little robocop.


Life after Beth.

Another lousy movie...so she turns into a zombie and thats it??

Welcome to Me.

Really fun. Great first half then it kinda has a time trying to figure out where it wants to go and what it wants to be. So it ends much more unevenly than it begins. But the performances are solid and I laughed out loud a lot.

Digging For Fire.

Not as good as his last couple. I definitely enjoyed it, but it has some problems. There was a talk-back at IFC with Joe and Jake and that was outstanding. Probably better than the actual film. But it made me appreciate the movie more, so I'm glad I got to see that.
