To Catch a Thief. Not quite as enjoyable as other Alfred Hitchcock movies I've seen but still enjoyable.

Todd and the Book of Pure Evil

I'm officially obsessed with Michael Angorano.

I just watched Ceremony.

I think I just really enjoyed it because of him. lol

So biased.

His character was probably an E3. I liked how Gatsby was pretty much the whole theme of the movie.

The Talking Heads concert film Stop Making Sense.

Three times in the past 16 hours.

Watched The Diary of Preston Plummer

I liked it. The dialogue is good. I would probably be thrilled if I could talk to someone like that character everyday. He didnt seem like a feeler. He seemed like he had a hard time opening up.

I liked his honesty.

On another note, I watched Cars 2 finally. Lol cute. I always love the dynamic between the hippie van and the army jeep lol.

With all the hype surrounding the Oscars, I decided to watch 12 Years a Slave.

While it had me wincing more than I did when I saw The Passion, and I disliked the casting of Bad Pitt, I haven't been as moved by a movie since I saw Lincoln, and Grave of the Fireflies before that.

The Wind Rises. The first Miyazaki film I've ever seen. It's wonderful.

 

[Poindexter Arachnid]

Mandingo!

 

[The Great One]

You should all go and see the new Liam Neeson movie, "Non-Stop". That movie kicked ass. It was a lot like the old Steven Segal "Under Siege" movies. It was non stop action the whole way through. Also, as you know a plane is under siege in the movie, but you have no idea who is doing it and the movie leaves you guessing until the end. The action and the martial arts moves in this movie reminds me a lot of the movie "Taken" as well. This movie kicked ass! I give it a 9/10!

Earlier today, watched really a cool animation Gish linked me to - The Triplets of Belleville. Enjoyed it a lot. There's another one by that animator called L'illusionniste, but I need to find a good quality version.

Last night in an attempt to cheer me up, Edgar took down an old Polaroid of Jack from the fridge door, put it by a candle, dedicating the movie we watched (Ghostbusters II) to my departed kitty.

(candle appropriately resembles the slime under NYC, ha.)

Ridiculous as it is, it helped. Gotta be able to laugh a little, I guess.

Celebrating his life once more with Pet Sematary tonight.

I've been watching season 2 of House of Cards, which is entertaining, and True Detective, which after two episodes seems like it's going to be fucking awesome.

I've watched the first 3(?) episodes of Top of the Lake but I don't know if I'm going to finish it.

[MENTION=19332]kquirk[/MENTION] May I ask why you liked Blue is the Warmest Color?

Yeah, I think it worked best as a coming-of-age story. I liked the pacing. It didn't feel like a three hour movie to me; I felt like I was watching a story from her life and could have kept watching.

Some of the storytelling was a little heavy-handed, like how the stuff they were reading in school was always relating perfectly to the plot. But some of the cheesy things I liked, such as the comparison between the two family dinners and how all they knew how to make was spaghetti.

But I'm a sucker for acting, and the two leads were phenomenal.

Really!?

It was like the slowest movie I have seen in years. lol

I agree that the acting was excellent though! (And attractive )

And I didn't realize they were going to show so much! I pretty much liked those parts the most tbh. I think that the rest of the movie had me in a little suspense though, cause I kept thinking they were going to get caught or something.

Watched all of house of cards in 48 hours, phew.

Right now I have my whole tv collection on shuffle on my computer. Very golden girls-heavy, but currently on 30 rock.

Need for Speed was not half bad as far as video game adaptations go. While many of its aspects didn't succeed, it actually made a noble attempt to be a good movie. And fans of the games will love it.

 

[Tellenbach]

300: Rise of an Empire. I was expecting a fun movie with cool visuals and that's exactly what I got. Thanks Zach Snyder. Also, Eva Green is awesome in this.

I watched Frozen for the first time...and the disclaimer played during the credits was unforgettable, ready for this?

If this was a joke (like the occasional "No animals, aliens or zombies were harmed during the making of this film"), then I got a chuckle.

If this wasn't a joke and was an actual legal/PR note, then I fucking fell on the floor laughing my ass off!!!
