February Release.  Not expecting much.

Second trailer looked much better than the first, but still doesn't draw me in.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Checking out some other reviews - generally people didn't hate it (every single one says "well at least it's better than the Total Recall remake"), but no one fell in love with it either.
Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

that's not exactly a ringing endorsement.

Ide will, when he gives it a B+.

Ide would give a trip to the dentist a B+, as long as there's no drilling.

I gave a B+ to your mom last night.

Watching something called Breakout Kings.  Not terrible.
PDH!

Ideologue

I really underrated Side Effects the first time I saw it.

I gave it a B, but it's honestly more like a B+ or A.  Really one of my favorite films of 2013.  "Hitchcockian" doesn't imply enough.

I've nearly finished Star Trek TNG s2- holy crap there's a lot of sex in there. True, Kirk is famous for it...but it was always in that 1960s girl swoons and fade to black way. In TNG...they speak of it rather casually. Interesting. Can't remember that at all.

I'm also watching the Detroit Metal City anime series. Last time I tried to watch it, pre-Japan, the crappy 10 minute long episodes and general style put me off, though I have always loved the live action film, now though...I'm really rather liking it. It is very funny. Perfect story of selling out. It is a silly comedy and not to be treat too seriously but still I do really wonder how the main character got into the situation...it is just never explained.

Must be sad when even old women don't give your lovemaking an A.

At least it wasn't an HIV+.

The Legacy keeps getting better and better. Carsten Bjørnlund is a tremendous actor.

I did like the Total Recall remake...
