priceless
We went to see 2 Guns last night because My Darling B wanted to see a flick with lots of action that didn’t require a lot of thought. We certainly got what we were after. And I don’t mean that like it’s a bad thing. In almost all of the right ways, it was a Read.

World War Z
Strange thing about World War Z: I was all geared up for some brain-eating mayhem but, even though there were zombies galore, there was not one single brain-eater among them. And now that I think about it, I can’t remember a turbo-zombie movie where the zombies ate brains. Turbo-zombies are too busy running around biting Read.

the catch
We were watching the movie John Carter of Mars about a week ago and there are two scenes – two! – where the princess of Helium, Dejah Thoris, falls from an airship, or some dizzingly high precipice, and John Carter prevents her from from going splat on the ground by jumping to an amazing height Read.

Star Trek Into Darkness again
The theme from the new Star Trek movie has been grinding relentlessly through my head for the past two weeks, which tells me that there is something buried deep within my brains that wants to get out, so I’m going to see whether or not a little drivel therapy will help this demon to escape. Read.

Star Trek Into Darkness
If you liked the last Star Trek movie, an alternate Trek universe as imagined by Lost creator JJ Abrams, but the uneven reviews of the new movie have you wondering if you should give the newest movie a pass, I would say, Go. See it. You’ll have a good time. I did. I didn’t think Read.

Princess Mononoke
I actually lured Tim out into public today by dangling the promise of a free screening of Princess Mononoke in front of his nose. He had to think about it for a moment or two, but not too hard before he agreed. The show was part of a program put on by the University of Read.

Room 237
I am never going to understand conspiracy theorists. Room 237 was a documentary about people who have watched Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining and have become convinced that it’s about anything but a remote, haunted hotel that twists a man’s mind and makes him want to kill his wife and son. One person watched the film Read.

Anfang 80
Anfang 80 is the story of Rosa and Bruno: how they meet, how they fall in love, and how they die, all in the space of just a few months. I really wanted to like this movie. In fact, I really did like this movie a whole lot, even though I felt very strongly that Read.

Computer Chess
We had to duck out of Computer Chess, too, except that My Darling B was the one to tap me on the shoulder this time. I didn’t hesitate to grab my jacket and scurry out of the theater right behind her, though. Whatever kind of humor they were using in that movie, the audience was Read.

The Moo Man
The best movie I saw all day today was The Moo Man, a documentary about a dairy farmer in Britain, because cows. Who doesn’t like cows? Not people who I want to talk to, that’s for sure. I’ll bet you can watch this documentary on Netflix. If you can’t, you should get it somewhere else, Read.
