 Will be watching this tonight!

Interesting movie. I liked it.

It was alright I thought it could of been better. The visuals were great though.

Very graphic. His mother is one bitch!

Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox was better then I thought it would be, and a lot more violent.  X-Men is comically the king of alternate dimensions, parallel planes and time travel, but DC stuff lately has been doing it pretty cool.  This premise is, change one thing about the past and a the butterfly effect is unyielding.  You end up with things like a different man emerging as the dark night, Kal-El crashing and destroying Metropolis as a child instead of in the plains of Kansas, things like that.  It was still a little campy in the midst of arms being hacked off and bullet holes in superheros heads, but it ended up being kinda interesting for a comic book animation.  7.7/10

 I just watched it because of your review and I thought it was excellent.

Grown Ups 2 was terrible. Terrible. How the fuck are these movies even being made? 1/10. I didn't pay and I want my money back.

that Selma Hayak is something else.

The Demented was just to basic, low budget and unimaginative, nothing remarkable about the movie at all.  That said it could of been 100 times worse then it actually was.  5/10.

That Brittney Alger is something else though.

just seen Hunger Games last night... loved it.

saw the trailer for Jobs..seriously thought it was a spoof movie until it became clear they were serious. You can already tell Kutcher botched the role.

This is the End was decent, not great. Had a couple of handfuls of good big laughs. But like Vaughn/Wilson movies, the recipe is aging.

Watched the first half of The Wolverine last night. Not bad so far.

Just watched Machine gun preacher

really good IMO

Have you seen Iron Man 3 yet?

don't worry I got you covered, better then the real thing!

Finished watching the Wolverine last night.  Not bad.  In terms of the last one or the X-Men movies, it's good.  Decent setup for Days of Future Past at the end.  6.7/10

I have Inception on my DVR, will hopefully check it out this weekend.

You should, it is a pretty decent flick I thought.

Yeah I haven't ran across anyone that thought it was anything less then decent. Seems like a movie I will dig. Might even throw on the turtle beaches and really get into it.

anyone ever seen the documentary "Searching For Sugar Man"?

I was blown away. Rodriguez is amazing I can't believe I've never heard of him until I saw this film.

Machine gun preacher was a good watch.

The hunger games was stupid imo. I have no idea what the hype was about

Red 2 was okay and worth the time to watch.

2 guns was a 2.5 outta 5

Watched The Conjuring.

Much like Insidious it is a very well done horror movie but the ending was kinda weak. It did better than Insidious in the sense that it didnt jump the shark in the second half but the ending just seemed too easy.

A lot of horror movies today are having this problem. Sinister, Insidious, and The Conjuring. Awesome horror movies with great acting and direction that can't finish strong.

I guess in the case of The Conjuring it's an actual "account" from the Warren's so i guess they had to go by what they said.

Interesting because Wan has always traditionally had awesome endings to his flicks. I haven't gotten around to watching it yet even though I've rented it from the library like 3 times now

Awesome

Saw the Internship.  Not good.  Very Sandler-esque as in Vince gets on the phone to his buddies and says in one million words, hey guys lets make a movie and have some fun with a bunch of scenes at the titty bar, we'll use recycled plot elements from our old movies down to a tee and even put new names on old characters.  Yeah...

Also saw Elysium.  Much better the Internship.  I thought it was kinda good, though there is something about it that was lacking.  I thought it was going to be more, then once I watched it, I thought it could of been much more.  Oh well, not a terrible sifi movie.

Recently saw the butler thought it was pretty good but a little ridiculous how his son was like the Forrest Gump of the civil rights movement (literally in every event you've ever heard of)
But it was a good movie and entertaining while telling the story of the civil rights movement through the view of the butler of the White House.
Every person who played a president did a terrific job in the film. Striebler and john cusack really did a great job as lbj and Nixon and really liked how lee butler gave each administration it's own aura.
8/10 good movie a little surprised tk missed out on the oscars

They aren't movies, but I'm liking Netflix original programming lately. Marco Polo was decent, I'm liking Daredevil so far. Still a fan of House of Cards and Orange is the new black.
