I fell asleep on Cap 2. I think its my least favorite but to be fair, I don’t really like any of the marvel movies that much.
I never saw the new X-Men in the Theater after watching it home kind of wish I did, it was well done I thought. I wish I went back and watched X3 before I saw it though, kind of cool how they tied them all together.
Mud- a really great movie with Matthew McConaughey and Reese Witherspoon. Apart from a scene in the end that seemed misplaced, its a damn near perfect movie. Very Stand By Me-ish
Ben Nichols’ (of Lucero) brother directed that.
I know the exact scene. I believe directors like to put scenes like that to create conversation/mystery/confusion. But I agree, not necessary.
While on my eight hour flight back to the States this past weekend I watched Lucy and Guardians of the Galaxy. Lucy wasn’t all that great other than looking at SJohanson, but I enjoyed Guardians quite a bit.
I watched Amazing Spiderman 2. I thought this movie was terrible and copied previous superhero movies. Jamie Foxx’s character reminded me of Jim Carrey’s Riddler, geek to villain and Peter Parker’s father/spider DNA angle was dumb in my opinion.
Watched Neighbors recently, I found it enjoyable with some funny parts. My wife liked it as well. Not a total waste of time.

Watched Django Unchained this past weekend on Netflix. Pretty good, though a little long. Cristoph Waltz is good in almost anything, his character was the best part of the movie.
clt gives “the interview” 2.8 out of 4 stars.

I’m a big Spider-Man fan from when I was a kid. I won’t go as far to say the second one was horrible. It did a ton of good things, such as character development, and advancing the plot. The things it did bad was while developing certain characters and advancing the plot, they resorted to campy ways of doing so that just made your roll your eyes, or they announced exactly what their motivation is before doing so, etc. I realize this is usually spelled out in a speech bubble in a comic, but in a movie motivations are usually much easier to read due to body language and just the overall process of tying scenes together. If anything, it just dumbed everything down so low for you to understand. They spent an insane amount of time on the Peter/Gwen relationship and I understand why, but some of the conversations were just petty bickering over “do I want you/do I not gaaaaaaaaar responsibility.” It was almost like they forgot they already had a movie before this where they established a relationship between the two. As for Jamie Foxx’s character, I agree, they made him too campy, and had him over-acting out his parts. He’s a solid actor, no need to have him go that route.
However, the SFX were pretty amazing. Depending on what they do with Spider-Man or the expanded universe Sony would like to do of characters underneath his banner, your feelings on this movie could change very much in the future. It’ll either be the point where it all went downhill, or the point where you understand why they jammed so much into this movie as a breaking off point.
Saw Mud, it was okay.

clt is the dear leader.
Saw this over the weekend and loved it. Its basically the story of nearly every preteen boy ever in America. Just a great movie with a great soundtrack. Thin Lizzy and the only MGMT song i like.
Is this on Netflix?
Not on instant.
Allison Brie is also in this if you needed any other reason to watch it

Glad you finally watched it! Nick Offerman of Park and Rec plays a Dad in it and he is really good as well.
Watched “The Giver” last night. Was surprisingly pretty good and def worth a redbox rental. Not much out there I saw so also picked “merry Christmas” for the woman and we turned it off after 10 min. WAs a low budget film and I have a hard time getting into movies where the camera quality is less than good.
