Bad Words, bogey.

Most of the funny parts were in the previews, and you didn't even care about why he was in the Spelling Bee at all.

So, what movie are we all going to watch this week?

The Shining .  Eagle.  We watched it Halloween night.  Nicholson at his creepy best.

Particle Fever, Birdie.

But… it's also right up my alley. My wife would likely rate it as "X, Picked Up after 12 minutes."

I don't watch a lot of moves but I watched The Impossible (which my wife had recorded).

I would say it lipped out a birdie because it reminded me of a made for TV movie in some ways and I thought some near miss sighting scenes were a little corny and predictable.

I did think the acting was really good, the tsunami scene looked realistic, and the actual story it's roughly based on is amazing.

Nicholson was good, but the movie was poorly translated imo.

Tim's Vermeer . Awesome in parts. Thought it might be an eagle, but it ended in a bit of a dud note so just an easy birdie.

Django, par.

Netflix is advertising it pretty heavily.

I thought exactly the same thing. Once he was finished, there was very little post analysis. I wished there were more coverage of the differences between original and copy, but that the original is kept under wraps makes that hard. Hey, thanks Queen Elizabeth. I instantly thought of that corner sign from an Apple presentation. The one where liberal arts and technology cross.

I went to Fury this weekend.  It was good, so I'm giving it a par.  Maybe I've seen too many recent war movies, but I find that the shock effect of people getting blown away in combat less startling.  That being said, I liked the premise.  Some of the supporting cast got on my nerves a little, but there's a lot worse you could watch out there.

On the flip side, I watched Captain America: The First Avenger and followed it up with The Winter Soldier.  The first one gets an easy par, and the follow up is still an eagle after multiple viewings.  Guardians Of The Galaxy was a lot of fun, but TWS is easily my favorite super-hero flick.

Interstellar - eagle.

Watched it Tuesday so I've had a couple of days to let it settle in. Yes, it's long, maudlin at times and parts can seem contrived, but for me, it held together, the cinematography, that last half hour, I was totally rapt, it was fantastic, what a combination of science and storytelling. I watched all the trailers and read many reviews and did not get spoiled, and if someone gave away the last chapter to me, I would be pissed. Ending was emotionally satisfying and pulled at the heartstrings, I was dusty, a little bit like a Spielberg movie. Hans Zimmer's soundtrack, yeah, it's loud, but his choice of using the organ and the piano a bit fit perfectly for a space movie. The space scenes are epic, Alright, alright, alright did a fine acting job, as did the supporting cast, it was cool to see Lithgow and Caine together. See this movie in IMAX if at all possible.

Watched boyhood. Amazing style and concept. Very well done but be ready for a over 2 hour slow movie. All in all birdie

[nevets88]

On to the next "space" movie, The Theory of Everything - Stephen Hawking biopic.
