I will watch this guy in anything. I watched Spy this weekend just because he was in it. That line at the end when she asked where he got the suit - "I fucking made this, didn't I? - killed me. It's the British tag question. Why aren't we all using it regularly?

Oh man, I loved that line so much.

An Honest Liar -- Really liked this a lot. Great documentary. Knew nothing about the subject and was hooked.
The One I Love -- Knew nothing about it and it totally surprised me. I haven't been that thrown and genuinely surprised by a movie in a long, long time. Liked it a lot. Flawed, but creative and worth a watch. Nice performances.
Sisters -- Stupid movie but in a fun way. Laughed a lot. Would not recommend to just anyone. But very funny. I could watch Tina and Amy all day and all night.
Hello My Name is Doris -- Outstanding. Just flat out wonderful in every way. Sally Field deserves all the nominations.
Spotlight -- Solid movie. Great performances. Tight script. Not sure it's Best Picture, though. I liked Brooklyn, Room and Carol more for sure.

Man, The Wave was a hell of a movie. I'm not sure I've ever seen the destructive power of nature conveyed so convincingly, so viscerally. There are some images/moments in there that will haunt me.

So you liked it? That looks like it had some great imagery in it. I want to see it.

Yes, I liked it a lot. It takes a similar approach that Gareth Edwards took with Godzilla; a classicist structure and a slow build, and the carnage is treated seriously.

Hey, did you ever watch Escape? This was by the same director.

Not yet. It isn't on Netflix. Maybe it is on Hulu. I'll look.

Ah, I guess they removed it. Lame.

Laurel Canyon is a really good movie. I haven't watched it in years. Maybe I'll throw that on tonight.

The Kids are Alright is another really good movie. I don't think I realized they were directed by the same person.

Are those things mutually exclusive, though? I don't see how.
