Eh, I don't think she looks like Kristen Stewart that much. Maybe a bit. While I think Stewart is pretty hot, Alexandra is about 1000x more beautiful.

He must be thinking about the wrong gal, because Alexandra Daddario does not look like Kristen Stewart. Now, if we're talking about Teresa Palmer (Warm Bodies, Sorcerer's Apprentice, Take Me Home Tonight), she looks like Kristen Stewart.

Orange is the New Black -- 9.5/10 -- A Netflix original. It's third season is coming out soon. Despite having it in my queue forever, I just recently went through the first season. It is beyond excellent.

It has a consistently top notch cast, especially the inmates. The lead actress, Taylor Schilling, has an amazing command of a broad array of facial expressions. The writing and characterization is superb.

I think I avoided it for so long because I thought it would be cliched. It is not. It is not Hollywoodized or over the top. The threat of violence is always lurking, but never, ever gone to gratuitously.

The characters are always human, never cardboard or one dimensional. The dynamics are as real life as they come.

I can't recommend it enough.

Hmmm. I love Lauren Lapkus, so I am always tempted to watch this show for her, but I've heard mixed things about it overall. Maybe I'll finally check it out now.

It gets better and displays its strengths the deeper you go into it.

Birdman (or the Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (Alejandro González Iñárritu, 2014) 9/10

Saw for first time a few nights ago. This director likes big challenges, his movies are quite varied. I went in knowing nothing about this. I watched the extra (~35 minutes), directly after the movie finished. The extra on the DVD is very worth watching.

His other work includes:

Amores Perros (2001)
21 Grams (2003)
Babel (2006)
Biutiful (2010)

Have you seen True Detective? :$ If not, go watch episode 2 and just skip around... you'll see what I mean.

I've always thought she was stunning, but that scene at the 16 minute mark is just...oh my.

I forgot what movie I was going to rate...

chappie: 7/10

cute. chappie's origins wasn't at all what I expected.
the fight vs that big bot was predictable tho.

the ending was meh.
it should have been MUCH easier to xfer chappies mind into a new body since his brain was a computer.
copy/paste


glad I found this thread.
would have never watched this movie otherwise.
assumed it would have been geek programmer secretly creates AI behind bosses back. and it mostly is but I liked the thug twist.

Pitch Perfect 2 6/10

Entertaining with some definite laugh out loud moments. But the story was not as good as 1 and the movie just felt like it was trying to top itself.

The Inbetweeners 2 7.5/10
If you have watched the British series and first movie this is more of the same only now they have gone to Australia. If you haven't watched the series go do so . They are all on Netflix streaming. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1220617/plotsummary?ref_=tt_stry_pl

Hmm...watched some of S1E1 and was intrigued. I really liked the original Skins show and it looks like this has some similar humor albeit a little more sophomoric.

Seventh Son 4/10 What a steamy pile of shit. Bridges and Moore must have been hurting for cash.

heard on the radio this morning that Spy was getting great scores on rotten tomatoes so i had to check it out myself. holy shit i can't believe how high the scores are. i'm so sick of that fat chicks schtick playing the same role in every movie, and also sick of statham doing the same thing. really surprised to hear it's getting good reviews. i'll catch it on redbox in a few months.

Melissa McCarthy is the new Will Ferrell . . . a pedestrian talent who goes to cringe worthy lengths to act gonzo, and yet has inexplicable success.
