I saw Boyhood last night. Amazing. I read about it on Reddit today and someone described it as a perfect example of mono no aware (物の哀れ), literally "the pathos of things", or more figuratively "the wistful awareness of the impermanence of things". Pretty much bang-on.

The Iceman. Just turned it on. I was watching bones before, and so the first 5 minutes I got confused and thought it was the teaser at the beginning of bones but it wasn't it's a movie.

I must say Jake Gyllenhaal's voice-off was so fucking sexy.
I normally prefer actors' real voices.

Amazing and very much psychological. Just as I like it.

Today's Special- 3 out of 5 stars, it was one of those feel good but predictable movies

Lilting (2014): A beautifully sad film about love lost. Ben Whishaw and Pei-pei Cheng are great in their roles. But the chemistry between Wishaw and Andrew Leung, especially in the bed scenes, is simply entrancing, almost too real to be just acting.

[MENTION=11928]Woaden[/MENTION] watch see it.

Edit: Ah, Ben Wishaw is gay. That explains to some degree how he could be so good.

I actually enjoyed it. One depressing afternoon I decided to watch all movies about food on Netflix and I like this. Any movie with food. Mmmmmm

I just watched Lucy, rate it 1 star. Shittest sci-fi flick ever. Good concept poorly executed, there was so much more story there than a heap of gun fire, a car chase and some drug goons. No wonder I gave up watching films. Tried to watch Maleficent and found myself reaching for a sick bag not more than 5mins into the movie. I'll give that -2 stars.

On a positive note I do rather arrogantly feel that I could do better so off to the keyboard I go to punch out another 2,000 words of my WIP.

I, too, wachted Lucy yesterday (thank you, internet), and agree with your reaction. However, I also watched Transcendence a few weeks ago and must say that that was probably worse. Unfortunately, the shittiest sci-fi flick ever is still on another level.

But, for the love of the muse, do not give up films on account of Lucy. Watch Solaris instead.

Took care of 2 movies today.

First one is Blue Ruin, a smart, realistic, ironic indie crime thriller with unknown cast that doesn't distract audience from focusing on the great performance, and the chillingly well crafted cinematography. 7/10




Then the comedy The World's End from last year.
