Not a Movie, but if you've never watched any Red Dwarf try it someday.

The wife even hates British comedy, but she used to watch that every week with me when it was on.
Moon - 8.875/10
Great movie! It brings up a lot of questions that society could find itself facing within this century. I don't want to spoil too much.
It left me and the girlfriend completely full of the sads, but in a good way.
I also finished season 8 of Dexter last night and I really don't understand all of the hate about the final season of the show.
They are just really poor compared to the first ~4 or 5 seasons. Everything is just, forced--and Dexter begins to be written as this superhero type character: that opening scene in was it, season 7 or 8 where he plays dead? A show that begins with a rather absurd premise somehow manages to leap beyond those acceptable boundaries of absurdity.
I think that final season, over all, is OK (season 7 was the really, really, really, really bad one), but the ending was a cheap cop-out.
Rather than keeping with much of the show's original tension--forcing Dexter to make tough decisions with this life he has chosen--after that 5th season, the writers seemed willing to just give Dexter everything he wants; seemingly for no other reason than to satisfy those viewers that simply want Dexter to succeed, despite all else. Hence, major cop-out. :\
Dexter 1-5: great show. Worthy of one of the best ever.
6-8: Not worth anyone's time (despite some decent character, nothing makes up for the overall shallowness of those seasons)
1-8: leaves you with the overall taste of a middling show, just refusing to die.
i'll agree that the early seasons were better for sure, but i'm glad that things in season 8 aren't the same as they were in season 1. if dexter was the same character, then we wouldn't have seen any kind of evolution of his character, which to me, is what the entire series is about. i won't spoil it in here, but his character does a dramatic change throughout the entire 8 seasons, which i'm glad we got to see his transformation instead of him being the same one dimensional character the entire series.
i do agree though that the show did go over the top a lot, but then again, it's a show about a forensics cop who is a blood spatter expert, and oh, also happens to be a serial killer!
haha yeah tom hanks son was terrible. the show is already plauged with awful acting, and even he stood out as being the worst.
I was uncomfortably grabbing my nose like Wily Wiggins in Dazed & Confused throughout that entire season, whenever Hanks came into frame.
TMNT (2014) - solid 9/10. it's just a really really fun movie and the effects are incredible. and megan fox actually did a good job, especially when you think about the scenes with all of the turtles.

Expendables 3: 8/10
I've seen the previous two movies in the series and thought this one was definitely the best. Lots of great action and and lots of laughs (fuckin Antonio Banderas, lol) which is what I expected and it delivered. My only real complaint is that there were some really shitty CGI scenes but that was about it.
Coherence (2013) - 8/10 - Part sci-fi, part human drama about a group of old friends meeting for dinner on the night a comet is passing close to Earth. Things get weird quickly. It was pretty interesting and can't go too far into it w/o giving too much of the plot away.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. (2014) 9/10
great, fun film
Mud 9/10
