Watched "In a World" on Netflix Instant. Under the radar but good comedy cast including Rob Cordry, Demetri Martin, and Ken Marino from The State. Easy to watch and some funny moments. [Reply]
I just watched "Mr. Nobody" on NetFlix. The description was putting me off. I thought it sounded crappy. I was pleasantly surprised when I finally gave it a shot at the request of my older son. It held my attention throughout. I would recommend it. [Reply]
Watched 'into the woods' with the fam tonight. I liked it a lot. I've never seen the stage play and not familiar with the songs at all. But I truly enjoyed the music and songs with the overlapping lyrics. Good stuff. Funny at times too [Reply]
Man, did it deliver, for its intended audience. I seriously can't get a lens for those who didn't wade through the Harmon experience IRT, but I listened to the podcasts as they went out, then to see the story behind them, and immediacy, and the fluency.
If I had to sum it up in a word, the word would be honest. It's the most honest thing I felt I've seen in a while. Its really weird to have the word 'relatable' be applied to mass media in a manner for immediate, but this documentary really offers a perspective on a life lived that it could be the life you live, yet so brave and quick you don't know if you'd survive. It echoes all the things you'd like to think you would do, while suggesting that you'd never have the courage to follow through.
If it's possible to be both humbled and inspired at the same time, that is Harmontown for me.
Life is full of broken people who are trying to do better. What a message. [Reply]

I thought it was very good. One if my favorites this year, and Cumberbatch was great. Posted via Mobile Device [Reply]
I watched Whiplash with the wife last night, we both thought it was.... good. I guess we just expected more because it made so many top 10 list of 2014.
Spoiler!
My disappointment comes from there seemed to be a build up the whole movie for a show down, but it ends with a nod of approval. Really?
JK Simmons' performance was worth the watch alone. [Reply]
