I am pretty smart, aren't I? Thank you Trollheart.

I don't recall ever saying you were pretty.

Yup, both Quaid and Jesus Christ star in Frequency.

I watched X-Men Apocalypse for the first time yesterday.
I didn't think First Class was very good, but I liked Days of Future Past a lot. This one sits somewhere in the middle. It's got good bits, but overall it's a bit directionless and wears out its welcome. I'm pretty burned out on these super hero movies, but the X-men movies were always the best, so that's why I had to give this one a chance.


Big fan of the various related anime series and the two first animated movies, so I didn't dare go and watch this when it hit the theaters. I was sure I would hate it and simply didn't bother. Watched it yesterday and... it's actually not bad. It's very narratively coherent and works well as long as you forget about the original, since they've changed some details around in weird ways. The acting is a bit stiff and they use these drab image filters too much, leaving only the most neon laced scenes truly looking good.
Much better than what I'd heard about it and how it was reviewed, but no masterpiece.
I want to watch it again soon to notice some more of the details.

Fracture with Anthony Hopkins and Ryan Gosling. Very taut murder, courtroom drama with Hopkins playing a character that comes within a half an inch of being just as brilliant and evil as Dr. Lector.

This doesn't really give anything away. The entire case is laid out within the first 15 minutes. It's how it gets resolved where things get fun.

I saw "American Made" (starring Tom Cruise)


(If it wasn't so late I would give a review.)

I actually gave it a shot but wasn't in the right frame of mind for it so I bailed pretty quickly.
