Selma. Now this one really surprised me. I went in expecting an epic biography of the man, but it was actually quite a modest film and all the better for it. The narrower focus really allowed it to get to grips with the detail of the issues involved. A powerhouse performance from David Oyelowo too, just the right mix of historical figure and real human being. Absolutely staggering that he wasn't considered for the Oscar this year.

Birdman
Riggan: [as Birdman] People, they love blood. They love action. Not this talky, depressing, philosophical bullshit.
I love talky, depressing, philosophical bullshit, but I still can't really like this movie. It just doesn't work for me.

I watched American Sniper last night, i found it very good !

Inside Llewyn Davis
Maybe if I liked folk music I would have enjoyed the movie a bit.
Overall fairly depressing with only a couple laughs.

So I watched Jupiter Ascending and Fifty Shades of Grey. Jupiter was a big pile of flaming turd. It was hideous. Just baaaaad. Mila Kunis was terrible. Just no.
And Fifty while super cheesy it wasn't as bad as reviews made it out to be. I actually didn't hate it.

50 shades of Grey 3.5/10 It sucked but it sucked less than the book.
Then again, the book was in a way better since it was quite entertaining in a "Did I just read that? The Eff', wait wot?" way ( I had so many laughs when reading about Christian's "considerable length" and a lot of other things I'll spare you guys)
Essentially for me, the movie is bad but considering what they had to work with, I don't blame them. Still, at least the book was hilarious
Since I read it before it got published, when it was still a Twilight fanfiction with Edward and Bella instead of Christian and Ana, it was twice as amusing.
I dare you to picture Robert Pattinson with Kristen Stewart's stoic face while reading the tampon scene and not shit your pants laughing
Ugly, Dirty and Bad (Affreux, sales et méchants) : 10/10 It's a 1976 Italian movie, I personnally watched it in French. Grotesque, somewhat of a tragycomedy and highly entertaining, it centers on this huge italian family living in a decrepit shack in the slums and surviving off thievery, crossdressing/prostitution... The partriarch has some money (work-accident compensation) and ferociously guards it against his family, not spending a dime of it while living in extreme poverty.
I can't do justice to this movie, I love it and it's one of my favourites. It takes a look at life in all its obscene glory (the ugly, the dirty and the bad; the fleeting innocence that cannot survive in such an amoral context). I highly recommend it ![]()
Also, the last scene (with the young girl) always makes me cry my eyes out. ![]()

OMGGG!!!
I read it when it was the fanfiction also, and I'm just rolling in the floor laughing, that's why I never read the books, even when my sister is a fan and has all the books. And OMG, I can picture Rob perfectly,

My sister is making me watch the movie tomorrow.... u___U''

^ I hate you two so much ![]()
I've always known it was a fanfic before getting turned in a book but I never imagined it with those two o.o. Now it can't be unseen, Imagine two hours of Kristen Stewart pretending to have emotions, it would be torture o.O IDK if I would cry or laugh

^ Don't hate us.... just laugh with us.
Laugh, for sure. It can't be unseen.
And my sister made me watch it today... because she has to go to the Uni tomorrow. *facepalm* Just to say... It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be... I laughed a lot, made some jokes at some scenes, and my sister wanted to kill me... I had the time of my life trolling.
Everytime I made a joke and my sister looked at me, I watched her back like:
.... but she was laughing at some of my jokes, so we are cool.
American Sniper
Great movie. I think it should be obligation for politics to watch it. The war is something horrific.

Expendables 3 ...

7/10

I really liked that movie. It was so unique and very interesting. I also loved how they actually filmed under the city in Paris.As Above So Below- Was good up until the end. The claustrophobia was real

"What if" - I really enjoyed it, is a nice story to watch with friends or by yourself at netflix in home with microwave popcorn, as I did.

Dumb Too- hated it. And I LOVE the first Dumb and Dumber movie. 3/10.

It really was!

"Birdman"
Dragged a little here and there but a whole bunch
of fine performances in a very different movie.
(Took forever to show locally and there were few others in the theater.)

I watched Mockingjay Part 1 yesterday and thought it was decent, but not anything special. The first movie of the trilogy literally had me falling asleep in the theatre, and I never saw the second but I wanted to see how Natalie Dormer did in an 'action' role. Jennifer Lawrence's voice is annoying as hell, and her face was weirdly puffy through the whole film? But she did get me to tear up a little, so can't fault her performance.

American Sniper. I must say, although I can understand people reading it that way, I found it to be more than just a straight-up propaganda piece. I thought there was some room for ambiguity there, and that it allowed the viewer to make their own mind up about the man. As a coherent piece of drama however, it was incredibly boring, disconnected and sketchy. There’s probably a fascinating film to be made about Chris Kyle, but for whatever reason Clint was unwilling or unable to make it. Think of it as ‘Dirty Harry’ without any of the fun and you’ll be on the right lines.
