If you have some time to kill check out Super on Netflix. I thought it would be a light comedy but it turned out darker than I could have imagined. If you can make it through the first have the second half is worth it . Not your typical superhero movie to be sure.

That and mindless CGI action movies. Sadly, it's just a reflection of the stupid times we live in. I look forward to Batman v. Superman as enthusiastically as I would a chance encounter with my ex-wife.

Posted this last week in the Hannibal thread, but I would highly recommend The Hunt. It looks like it will be at the Tivoli in KC (listed as coming soon.) If you need a break from the summer explosions, and don't get me wrong, I really enjoy big sci fi and action movies too, be sure to catch Mads Mikkelsen in The Hunt. He gives a really extraordinary performance.
It is about a false accusation in a small Danish town and how an innocent man who believes that the truth cannot help but come out is nearly destroyed by the rest of the towns actions. Well worth the subtitles, and there are breaks of English in it. |

Yup that happens pretty early on, just a hint more to come with the "O snap!" moments.

I know it came out a while back but Wanderlust was just awful.

That explains a lot. The whole time I'm watching it I'm thinking he looks nothing like his old man.

Watched Gangs of New York.
It was OK. Not really as good as I thought it would be and about 30 minutes too long. Kind of similar to The Departed except Departed is about 10x better.

I always try to squint at Cameron Diaz a little and imagine it is Samantha Morton and then the movie is nearly perfect. Aside from her, this is a highly underrated movie. Perhaps the high concept style was a bit heavy handed for some and pretty different to most of his films. Last edited by underEJ; 08-08-2013 at 10:18 AM.. Reason: wordiness |
