If your bored and have a spare hour watch it, but don't expect a lot.

IMDb: The Guardian 2006
Enjoyable film.

IMDb: Danny Collins 2015
Not too bad a watch, funny in places and not what I expected. Worth a watch.

Hell. A German apocalypse survival film. Not bad, if a little reductive. No zombies but cannibals. The word "hell" in German means "bright" or "light" but the English association works too. No score but better than a 5/10 for the scene settings and the cinematography.

Just finished a DVD doubleheader.
A Most Violent Year which I thought was really well-made though it had a semi-gratuitous last act... A great film. 8.5/10

and

Dante 01. I like foreign films--even French movies ( )--and I like science fiction films, thoughtful and enigmatic or big, brash, bold ones as long as there's a modicum of story. Intelligence is always a nice option but frankly I don't always expect that and when I plan for a film being a no brainer, it doesn't bother me. This film was visually beautiful... but also egocentric (as in the director being smitten with self),and obscure to the point of pretentious silliness. No score but, ultimately, in this poster's opinion, this movie sucked.

IMDb: Mad Max fury road 2015
well it resembled the first two movies, good fun. Not a Oscar winner but I never thought it
would be. Again great fun if you have 2 hours to kill, although why Tom Hardy wanted to play in this film I have no idea

why Tom Hardy wanted to play in this film I have no idea

I read somewhere got $5 million for playing Bane. He must have doubled that money for playing Max. And he signed up for three more “Mad Max” films. Yeah, no idea why.

and he didn't have to learn any lines  besides  "I"m Max" and grunt a few times

Above, I wrote "Intelligence is always a nice option but frankly I don't always expect that and when I plan for a film being a no brainer, it doesn't bother me."
Mad Max: Fury Road is a good example of what I meant--it gives the viewer exactly what they expect... no more and no less. I liked it.

Another double-header last night... both excellent films.

American Sniper and All is Lost.

IMDb: Women in gold  ol film but whole story was a little nice for a emotive subject
IMDb: The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel Why did Richard Gere want to be in this film, he nor his story line did nothing to improve a confusing mish mash of a storyline. Fun in parts though

[tarascon]

Heaven. Gorgeous film. I watched it without subtitles... dint need 'em 'cuz the body and face language conveyed what I needed. Also, I felt like a disembodied spirit (who spoke no Italian) hanging out in Turin and environs and witness to the dreams and fears of mortals.

So Franz Kafka and Philip K. richard meet in a bar and have too much to drink. They rent a room (in a dark and seedy dive) and have sex. Later that year one of them gives birth to a child (I never learned which one had the baby). They decide to name the child Dark City (Director's Cut).


Plus Uncle Fester too.
