Saw "The Imitation Game". Liked it very much though I wish they'd spent more time on the "innards" of how they cracked the code and, also, more about how he was hounded into suicide by homophobia.

Life Itself....via CNN.

A very personal and heartwarming documentary.

I went to see Wild after work today. It was good. The book, of course, is better.

Chef -- and I thoroughly enjoyed it

JDeere · 01-07-2015, 12:05 AM

Not really a movie but it's called The BULLY Project from 2012. It follows 5 families as they go through a school year while being bullied. Heart breaking and a tear jerker.

Captain America...what a pile of crap. It lived down to expectations.

A Prophet 2009

From Netflix "After refusing to snitch, 18-year-old Arab Malik (Tahar Rahim) is thrown into a French prison, where the Corsican mafia rules with a firm fist. The obedient newcomer slowly rises through the organization's ranks but soon begins to double-cross his superiors."

At 2.5 hrs I thought it could have done well in 2.0, but given the number of awards it got I seem to be in the minority. I enjoyed it and would watch it again. Apparently there is a remake afoot, I'll bet it's american and I'll bet they screw it up, watch this french version.

Young Adults

Unless you're a huge fan of Patton Oswalt and want to see one of his finest roles ever, I'd skip this one!

imperfect_cupcake · 01-09-2015, 01:16 PM

I'm hoping to see more "hard" science fiction.

Interstellar is being attempted to be sold as such but it's not. It's full of pseudoscience - I can enjoy things for being fun, but very irritated when it's being hoisted as something it's not.

Burlesque [2010]

Fabulous for watching scantily clad girls dancing.

I think Cher's lips get a credit for having a life of their own.

Even the Aguilera girl isn't too bad until she tries to be sexy...or sing!

Kätzchen · 01-09-2015, 05:00 PM

Over the holidays, I watched a couple of films:

North by Northwest (1959) and Donnie Darko (2001).

cinnamongrrl · 01-09-2015, 09:08 PM

Tonight I watched Bobby, Emilio Esrevez' film about Bobby Kennedy....fictitious film that is...

Kelt · 01-10-2015, 12:59 AM

I just re-watched 'Soldiers girl' I hadn't seen it since it came out a dozen years ago in 2003.
So glad that our military can serve openly now.

The Hobbit: Battle of Five Armies.

Orema · 01-10-2015, 07:05 AM

I wanted a laugh and streamed The Odd Couple last night. Finniky Felix and grumpy Oscar didn't let me down.

deathbypoem · 01-11-2015, 12:09 PM

this was such an excellent movie.

I have also been digging around in

Mysteries of the Museum. So good!

Logicaly · 01-11-2015, 12:42 PM

Went and saw The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies

*Anya* · 01-11-2015, 12:57 PM

We saw Predestination last night.

Complex, confusing, mind-bending/twisting and interesting science fiction.

We liked it but had to talk about it afterwards to try to figure it out.

Star-turn by Sarah Snook.

The premise sounds like Majority Report but it is different.

From imdb:

PREDESTINATION chronicles the life of a Temporal Agent (Ethan Hawke) sent on an intricate series of time-travel journeys designed to prevent future killers from committing their crimes.

Now, on his final assignment, the Agent must stop the one criminal that has eluded him throughout time and prevent a devastating attack in which thousands of lives will be lost.

traumaqueen · 01-11-2015, 01:06 PM

Pride (2014)

It was good. Interesting story and insight into a little known history and how you can find political/social support in the least expected places. The acting was a little weak despite a good cast, some of the jokes fall flat. The studio and distributor of the DVD release here in the states has received a lot of flack for removing gay reference from the DVD, which I find almost impossible to follow considering the entire movie contains gay themes. Anyway, good gay flick for 2014.

Gemme · 01-11-2015, 04:59 PM

I saw this yesterday. OMG, so good.

So. So. Good.

I absolutely LOVED this movie!!!!
