See No Evil. Some of the editing and camera effects gave me a kind of motion sickness, especially the first fifteen minutes. It doesn't happen often but sometimes I can be really sensitive to visuals and it can trigger a dready anxiety in me.

Other than that, it was disappointing because it had the foundation of an interesting movie. I think it probably just needed a bit of polishing all round from the writing to the direction and editing. The final death was fucking cool in concept but the CG quality wrecked it. Can't fault Kane, he was big and scary and that's what I wanted to see.

Right?

Some friends took me to see this last night.  That was one of the better theater experiences I've had.

I dunno, even that feels played out. Like, "Hey, remember that funny fight we had with all the cameos? Well we topped that one," and they tried too hard. Though I did enjoy John C. Reilly and the Minotaur

Finally saw Big Hero 6, pretty great movie. Characters were awesome, but it felt like the movies could have been twice as long. It went a little fast and cut some narrative corners to fit into 90 minutes.

I just watched Edge of Tomorrow and it was ok. I still would have liked to have someone besides Tom Cruise playing the main character. Though I did like the design of the Mimics, especially after reading the graphic novel adaptation of the book where they were basically giant frogs

I just finished We Are the Best! on Netflix.  Damn, I usually hate films where kids (well, in this case 13 or so) are the protagonists, but both the scripting and acting blew me away.  The characters were actually believable, and though the plot is rather simple, the nuances and character development make it worth checking-out.

Per your recommendation, I just watched "Fucking Ĺmĺl" last night, and it was brilliant.  I'll have to check out the latter via less than legit means, though.

Watched Limitless last night. It's absolute bollocks, but entertaining bollocks. It's hilarious how badly smart people get written when they are written by non-smart people (it's based on a novel).

I just watched 300: Rise of an Empire and it wasn't very good. It tried so hard to be like 300 but it just failed. Also, the sex scene was awkward as fuck. Though I will say that I did like the final part when the Spartans came in to save the day, and watching Lena Headey kill people

I just watched Space Jam (on the big screen no less) for the first time in forever and it still holds up. It's really cheesy, and some of the effects are pretty dated, but it's the good kind of cheesy. Also it's nice to notice all the cameos this time around.

I guess The Cat Returns and Tales From Earthsea won't be on the playlist then.

Well, I don't know for certain, since I'm not the one who has a cinema showing the Miyazaki films nearby.  I was just making a deduction based on the given evidence.  But I do totally agree with you WRT "Grave of the Fireflies".  I have been wanting to give it another re-watch, but given my current mental state, I shan't, since it's too depressing.

So I finally saw "Pitch Perfect" tonight. I had a good time, but even with a shower-scene featuring Anna Kendricks and a ginger Brittany Snow this movie felt surprisingly (and ironically :o) flat. No good message, a few unintentionally problematic ones, characters that fail to engage or are downright blech... but, on the other hand, easy viewing a capella feast. I dunno. Might see the sequel

I just watched V/H/S: Viral and it wasn't as good as the first or second ones, the second one being the best so far. I guess there's a film that was cut from the movie that you can watch on the DVD, but that wasn't part of what was on Netflix

Just watched episode one of Ken Burn's new PBS documentary "Cancer: The Emperor of All Maladies"

It is very informative but by god does it brutally stab you in the feels and twist the knife.  I highly recommend it to everyone.  I am still watching his Civil War series (also great).  I honestly had no want to watch this cancer one, but being that Dr. Girlfriend is a cancer scientist she requested we watch it.  She even said we can just watch the first 30minutes and pick up the rest of the episode later.  So I went ahead and watched it but could not break away and ended up glued to the TV for the full 2 hour episode.  This is only part 1 with parts 2 and 3 coming out later in the week.  Just wow.  Better than his Civil War documentary (and his Civil War doc is the pinnacle of ACW docs!) in many aspects.
