The Films and Movies Thread

Yes, I liked Primer, would give it a birdie. Even though it's low budget, it was a compelling story and you're fixated on figuring out how it all fits together.

the thing i liked about Primer was the feeling of dread it gave me.  its funny that for such a low budget movie, it really knew how to elicit that fear of "oh man, this is not a good idea..."

This movie was released soon after the Clinton-Monica Lewinsky scandal, no, I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky, and basically mimics the scandal. Maybe it was too true to life and the public was already exhausted by the scandal (I know I was), so it didn't do well box office wise.

Catch me if you can - tap in birdie Just a solid, well, more than solid movie especially the ending! Towards the end I told my wife I think this is a real story, and that is the case! It's just such a great story of how a con artist becomes one of the worlds authorities on bank fraud and ends up making millions anyways.

The beautiful mind - hole in one Beautiful true and inspiring story! I love math, love a good story and perseverance when faced with mountains to cross!

This is a complex time travel/time loop movie. You will get a mondo headache unravelling it. Some mind blowing concepts on gender and sex mixed in with time looping. [SPOILER=Super Crazy Spoiler:] From Quora:   It's a movie which can lead to you having sex with you, giving birth to you, then bringing yourself back to 1963 to break up the relationship between yourself and yourself and taking yourself as a baby back in time and toping it all by killing yourself?   [URL=https://qph.is.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-6dea3513c16ec4cf26f458aca414447e?convert_to_webp=true]https://qph.is.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-6dea3513c16ec4cf26f458aca414447e?convert_to_webp=true[/URL][/SPOILER]

Interesting movie.. missed the par putt on the low side I'm still trying to wrap my head around how it ended and if the ending makes any sense at all.

Unbroken - Birdie/near Eagle Guardians of the Galaxy - par(have to say I am a little tired of orb obsessed super hero movies) Hobbit - bogey

Rewatched Predator. Birdie. Movie is ancient but just a plain fun 80s action flick. So many memorable lines:

Stick around.

Son of a bitch is dug in like an Alabama tick.

You're bleeding. I ain't got time to bleed. Got time to duck? (S**t blows up)

There's something out there and it ain't human. We're all gonna die.

I can make it!

If it bleeds, we can kill it.

I'm gonna have me some fun. I'm gonna have me some fun. I'm gonna have me some fun.

You're..... one..... ugly....... mother****er.

Can't really get excited over any of the GG Best Picture nominees. Sure, Boyhood was good, approaching great, but not best picture great. I think Two Days, One Night got ignored. As well as The Tale of the Princess Kaguya. Have yet to see Selma though. Hope Ida wins best Foreign Film and Hans Zimmer for Score.

I've seen five of the six animated movies with my kids. And that's it. There was a time when I'd have watched 80% of the nominees. Boxtrolls was wonderful, by the way. Today, in two attempts I viewed Noah. The first twenty minutes were pretty bad. I shut it off and came back to it later. Definitely a bogey, but it could easily slide to a double, or maybe squeak to a par.

Yeah, I've only seen 3 of the nominated movies, and all three were in the Animated category.  (Lego, Dragons, and Big Hero 6)  All three were really good, but, yeah, that's all for me this year.

I also got to see Captain America 2, Thor 2 and Guardians, but I think that covers it.  Still want to see the latest Hunger Games.
