22 Jump Street. Pretty funny, not quite an "all-time classic" however.  :P
Gone Girl. Intense. Disturbing. Worth seeing.

GG is also an all-time classic. :)

That Chappie movie looks stupid.
Stay Alive...Let the Man Drive

I liked District 9, but Elysium kind of sucked.  I'm cautiously optimistic about Chappie.

There's nothing wrong with both of those things happening Ide.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

It's not very neat or tidy, and it doesn't help that the superhero battle is one of the most boilerplate such battles ever brought to the screen.

Anyway, I gave the thing a B+, and I thought its experimental comedy was pretty fantastic even if its narrative was messy.  Whaddaya want?

I'll check your whole review after I get home from work, but I don't see how the comedy was experimental.

House of Cards Season 3.  Way too much Claire Underwood.  She was ok as a supporting character in the first two seasons but I didn't like her character dominating the story line. I look forward to Season 4.

My problem is not so much that they had her too much, but that they turned her from an equally evil witch-queen into a wimp.

Agreed.  The story arc was inconsistent with everything she had done to get to that position.  The Claire of Seasons 1 and 2 would never have paused when giving her speech in Russia.

Has the group become the bad guys?

Actually, I haven't watched it yet :P

I will say that I never cared that much for either. I wished they had featured some hot guys. -_-
