A very good movie, well-written with a good cast (Chris Pratt is fast becoming one of my favorite actors, even though he's only in a supporting role here) everyone knows what it's about, so I won't rehash it. Don't watch it in the middle of the day though, as you'll find yourself ruminating. I'd watch it a few hours before bed instead.

It definitely makes you think, although those "sex" scenes were...uncomfortable.
The Other Woman - 7.5/10
I would never have seen this if it wasn't for my girlfriend demanding it, so we went and I actually enjoyed it. No points for plot originality, or even believability, but it delivered laughs and that's all that matters. Well worth watching.

I just saw a documentary called "Teenage Paparazzo"
9 of 10
I loved it. Adrian Grenier from Entourage makes a documentary about a paparazzo who's only 13 years old and makes a living out of it already. I've started to respect paparazzos more after this movie, didn't think I ever would

Sling Blade - 9
A mentally handicapped man is released from an institution, where he's been housed for committing murder as a child. He rejoins his small town's society, befriending a young boy from a troubled home in the process.
Billy Bob Thornton stars and directs, and he does a fantastic job at both. It's a great movie that avoids all the cinematic cliches and cynical angles that usually bog down films dealing with this type of serious subject matter.
Another highly recommended film.

Nymphomaniac 1 and made it through just half of 2 - 4/10
Lars Von Trier directed. I didn't like these at all, however. Antichrist was much better.
Maybe it was the whole fly fishing references in the first one?
Maybe I just don't like the main actress much? I know I am not a Christian Slater fan so meh.
I found the "love" story angle so hard to believe and the sex in general was boring. Both movies were just a bore. I watched another flick by the same name and it was much better.
Don't waste your time on these.

I miss Ritter, too. I grew up watching "Three's Company" and he was always one of my favorite comedic actors.
Yes, I'm just now seeing it. ha ha
It was one of those movies that I put-off, and put-off, and put-off until I forgot about it. Then I saw a meme the other day that reminded me of it so I finally got around to seeing it.

Yay Three's Company was so wrong but I loved it as a child!
Dwight Yokam Wow-He played such a good Basstard! Loved him getting chopped-up. And Billy Bob was A-Friggin-mazing...the little boy was so perfect and his Mom, great cast.
I have seen it about 10 times I think LoL

Transcendence - 7/10
Not usually the sort of movie I would go and see but I did like the premise of it. I liked the wavering opinions you have of the characters throughout the movie. Leaves you thinking at the end, which is nice. Enjoyable movie, but maybe not one I'd see a second time.

I don't even want to watch this movie. I didn't like Antichrist and I hated Melancholia so I sort of gave up on Lars Von Trier. I love his earlier movies like Dancer in the Dark and The Idiots.
But yeah no...... especially Melancholia was such a dissapointment for me.
Lars Von Trier is from my country btw...... :bigsmile:

It's funny I hated Melancholia too, and the same I was so excited to see it but found it tedious at best... and after re-watching Antichrist again, I really didn't like it either. The first time I saw it I was still in a very bad relationship so the part with her cutting off his member was not so bad to me then...now it was horrible!
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug - 8
[No spoilers below]
[No spoilers below]
I watched both An Unexpected Journey and The Desolation of Smaug this afternoon, and I definitely like the second part over the first one. The first was a lot of fun, but it was largely setup and felt like the majority of the movie were random events - albeit entertaining random events.
The Desolation of Smaug feels more focussed and driven from the get go, and to me felt a lot more like Lord of the Rings than the first did. I realize they're not necessarily supposed to be similar, but I appreciated it non the less.
And even though it's a tiny spoiler to say so, I love how much character and charisma they gave to Smaug. He became one of my top favourite fantasy setting villains almost immediately.
