The Grandmaster Saw this earlier in the year, but it's available on iTunes now and will watch it again tonight. This movie defies categorization. It looks like an action movie, but it's more an

Too bad it's not doing as well at the box office as it's been reviewed. Gotta give TC credit for choosing great sci movies.


I'll wait until I rewatch it a few times, but upon first impression it's amongst my favorite TC movies, The Last Samurai and Minority Report.

Edge Of Tomorrow has it's flaws, for sure, but for the most part its a very solid film.  The worst part of it for me was a slightly forced romance near the end.

How hot was Emily Blunt? That scene where she's stretching in that yoga outfit? Yikes...

That's the problem. She had too much clothing on. :-)

Blunt was good in that sci fi movie with Matt Damon and Roger Sterling from Mad Men. I liked those outfits better. :-)

The Raid 2 - Birdie. Saw this awhile ago but found this on YT, check out this fight scene. If anyone here is squeamish, it's pretty darn violent.

I love me some hammer lady...

Also finally saw the original Godzilla, in Japanese with subtitles (Criterion Collection) - I heard it was good, but I have to admit, I liked it better than 2014 Godzilla, with all the special effects. Great writing. Birdie.

Under The Skin-  Definite birdie, but you have to have a really open mind and like bizarre, way out there stuff.  I hate to say it, but it's worth it just for Scarlett's first ever full frontal.  Good film.

Men In Black gets a birdie because it's so re-watchable.  Every time it's on AMC (or Bravo, or USA, or whatever) and there is nothing else good on, it is a perfect stop for the remote.

How does Vincent D'Onofrio not get an Oscar nomination for that performance?? (Not kidding BTW) ;-)

X-Men future of past or something - Birdie I loved the opening seen so much and set the tone for the rest of the movie.. Those sentinels and how they were killing off mutents was great! I didn't expect the part of the sending back in time, but it was cool! The sentinel reminded me of the one in The first Thore if any of you remember, and now I'm not sure who stole it from who.. I mean these things were in all the xmen cartoons so yeah.. A few other really cool scenes... A pretty interesting plot and a lot of questions left unanswered but almost in a good way! Must see in my opinion!

That Quicksilver scene was awesome. The song fit perfectly as well. Looking forward to the ape movie and especially Boyhood.

Same for both movies.

Plus I'm a big Richard Linklater fan. Boyhood got incredible reviews.

Before Sunrise, Sunset and Midnight are my favorites. Lost count of how many times I've seen them. Waking Life and A Scanner Darkly too.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.
