So weird seeing Julie Delpy, Linda Cardellini and Kerry Condon in you know what upcoming Marvel movie.

Hercules.

Par.

What's the best Golf Movies of all time?  Here is my list in no particular order.

The Legend of Bagger Vance

The Greatest Game Ever Played

Tin Cup

Happy Gilmore

Honorable Mention

Bobby Jones, Stroke of Genius

It's hard to beat Tin Cup. Man, that's a great movie!

Waiting for new Pixar movie comes out in June, they are always great. Avengers and Star Wars are the other big ones so far I'm looking forward to. Is a CGI Peanuts movie coming out late in the year, too - not sure how I feel about that, but will probably watch it.

Ex Machina . EAGLE . We know the cautionary tale in the movie very well, but we haven't seen it like this before. It's not going to be everyone's cup of tea, and the ending might bother some people, hell, the whole movie might bother some people, it certainly did me. Oscar Isaacs seems like he's everywhere recently, I've seen him in the folk singer movie, A Most Violent Year, a Bourne movie and soon to be in The Force Awakens. Same w/Gleeson. Frank, that time travel movie, Calvary. It's 90% in RT and probably going to be overlooked while Furious 7 and yet another comic book movie get all the attention. Unfortunate. This movie really asks a lot of timely, pertinent and hard questions about technology and wonder what we can do about it.

Got to watch Whiplash on the flight down to Orlando.

I give it an Eagle. An in your face clash of personalities.

The Hundred Foot Journey - Birdie.  Who would have thought that a movie about cooking would be so good?  Acting was excellent and it was certainly food porn.  And yes, I looked up the Five Mother Sauces after watching!  I am familiar with them, but wanted a refresher.

+1.  Really liked it.

Watched Singin' in the Rain (1952) last night.  An eagle - loved it!     Can't ... take ... another ... episode of comic book turned 120+ minutes of mind numbing CGI action.

No friggin' cgi here. All human generated.

Kingsman. Par - hole out from 50 yards, almost gave it a bogey. The millennial demographic will disagree with me, and I'd agree there were some new twists done on old tropes, but the church scene was a turnoff, no matter what the makeup of its congregation. Some fun action scenes, but to me, it was mostly predictable. i may be a bit more harsh with my rating as I was expecting more.

Anyone see the "Age of Ultron"????  Whats the verdict, should I go see it in theater when I visit the states?

If you liked the first one you'll probably like the second one.

I give it a birdie on an easy par 5. Good but not as good as the first one. Would have preferred about 10 minutes less action for more character/story moments. Whedon also seemed to have done a flip-flop on his version of the Hulk. AOU kinda felt like it was more of a set-up movie for Civil War and the Infinity War movies rather than a movie trying to stand on it's own. But it was entertaining, each character gets their moments and Whedon as always mixes in some good humor.

Sweet.. Yeah, I liked it for sure.  I think my expectations for this one are a little bit higher than before because I have seen what they can do, but it is really hard to screw up a movie with Thor, Hulk, Iron Man ect.. IMO.

Very excited as we got our babysitter lined up, and got our tickets, for tomorrow night.

Ang Lee and Eric Bana would beg to differ.

[nevets88]

It's crazy, the domestic + int'l grosses of Furious 7 and Avengers 2 will probably end up to be around 3 - 3.5 billion USD. Add in Star Wars 7, probably ~5.5 - 6 billion USD. That's in the neighborhood of the GDP of Bhutan. Crazy.

I'm guessing the dinosaur, ant, terminator and fantastic four movies will not do as well as projected though.

Watched Age Of Ultron in a packed theatre Sunday night. Missed birdie putt for par from me. Don't get me wrong, I thought it was great, I'm just hoping the extended version that comes out on bluray flushes out some of the rushed subplots some more. Iron Man versus Hulk was an excellent scene. And I wish it had a moment for Quicksilver like the last X-men movie did. Nonetheless I thought it was great and moved at a very quick pace.

[nevets88]

IMHO, X-Men Quicksilver > Avengers Quicksilver. That accent, especially if you've heard the actor speak w/o one, was terrrrrrible. Took me out of the fiction. Best scene was the hammer scene. Don't bother staying for the end credits if you expect another diner scene.

[Jeremie Boop]

I want to see this. Haven't seen a sub movie for awhile.

Saw Good Kill. I'd give it a birdie. Pretty bleak take on drones. Greenwood is a great actor.

I watched this last night (black sea), was an interesting movie. I wouldn't have wanted to pay to watch it in a theater but was well worth the time to watch it at home.
