Had great hopes for it as I'm a fan of director Rian Johnson's earlier film Brick (a great overlooked film) and was so let down by this by-the-book scifi attempt.

Meh. Some good scenery of NZ even though the story is supposed to take place in the US.

Thanks. Guess I'll move it further down my watch list.
Train Wreck
Eh, it was mostly for the wife. Had a couple of good moments, but not enough to redeem it. I'm not sure what the buzz is all about with Amy Schumer.

OK. Not sure it was worth the 90 minutes.

Queue up season three of her regular show, and report back.

Lee Daniels' The Butler - I thought it was really good.

Eh whatever. The last one was by far the best. They sucked but I love Middle Earth so whatever.

I ignore the Hobbit movies like I pretend the second and third Matrix movies don't exist.

The Lazarus Project- skippable
LFO--82Pts.
Interesting man-with-amazing-powers scifi film. Kind of a cross between the great Roland Young's The Man Who Could Work Miracles and The Twilight Zone's Time Enough at Last and A Penny for Your Thoughts. Unpleasant at times with a great payoff.

The serious & sad tones throughout this movie made it very awkward. It was a cringe fest...

I must be living under a rock, as this is the first I'm hearing of this one.

Love the movie, not in a small part because of Henry Mancini's score. The plot is a bit pedestrian, but the animal scenes liven it up. The baby elephant walk with the music is my favorite part, but I haven't seen it in many years.
Spotlight
The Last Witch Hunter: I know, the question you are probably asking is WHY!!? The answer . . . 14 hours of flights in the last 5 days! Thoroughly forgettable even though I think Vin Diesel movies are generally mildly entertaining
The Martian: I always seem to enjoy Matt Damon flicks and this was no different. Liked it but given the scenery I wish I had seen it on big screen
Hitman Agent 47: Why? See above! Actually this was a pretty decent flick for a no-need to think action only varietal
Ant Man: mildly entertaining. Again, reasonably good action flick
So, I'm starting off the year low brow but hoping to get back to some of the classics when I have some time to actually think about what I'm watching

Glad to see GQ is getting lots of attention with its recent add to Netflix. Get it while you can.
Once Upon a Time in the West
Probably about 35 years since I'd seen this film Still great and interesting to see after seeing certain Tarantino movies. And then there is Claudia Cardinale...

As I've recently said; one of the best film openings ever and easily Leone's one masterpiece.

This was a fun flick if it's the one I'm thinking about. About China's obsession for Bordeaux right? They highlight this one collector with a house full of Lafite
