I hated Signal. The beginning was interesting as hell, but the end was horrible.

That pretty much describes every Fast and Furious movie. I enjoy them but they are definitely not great movies. You have to turn off your brain for a lot of the driving scenes.

Anyone seen Insurgent yet? I have read the first 2 books in the trilogy and have enjoyed them. Saw the first movie and it was okay. Going to see this movie tonight.

Watched "kill the messenger" last night.....enjoyed it....had read a lot on the topic previously....so nothing came to me as a shock in the film.

Im assuming if you dont know the bakckground, youll probably enjoy the film even more.

That is exactly why I like them a lot. Obviously super dumb but there are pretty damn entertaining if you get what they are and go with it. A few movies ago they seemed to realize this and helped keep the franchise rolling.

This won't be popular here, but, man, Get Hard was fucking hilarious.

And yes, I'm a Ferrell and Hart mark.

Watched "Mine Games."

Not bad. 3 of 5 stars.

This flick could have been a lot better if a few things were more fleshed out (like the "psychic" girl and what was going on with her) but still not bad. A decent horror/sci-fi you won't hate, has a few good surprises, and overall enjoyable if you don't need everything spelled out for you...

Watched The Imitation Game yesterday. Excellent, excellent flick.

I thought this was a great film and pretty messed up story. I didn't know very much about it, I'm going to do some research now.

Watched Safety Not Guaranteed. Really liked it.

Also watched a bit of Upstream Color. Hated it to the point I had to turn it off. While reading more about it, I saw someone say exactly what I was thinking about Shane Carruth. He has amazing concepts and great ideas, but he's not good as a story teller.

Finally caught John Carter. I missed the first part of it. I basically came in when he was going to Mars, but it was a good flick.

Worth the time.

I have absolutely no idea how the same person made that POS and Primer.

Primer is probably one of the top 10 best sci-fi movies of all time.

I also watched I, ORIGINS yesterday and really liked it.
Mostly a flick about science being able to prove or disprove religion/reincarnation and the scientist who struggles with it. Brit Marling is solid as the lab assistant. I'm quickly falling in love with this woman...
