I feel sorry for people that can't enjoy The Hateful Eight.

It either clicks with you, or it doesn't. I thought it was masterful.

Happy Valley Season 2 - 5/5

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Valley_(TV_series)

BTW, Netflix called Season 1 a Netflix Original but I don't understand how that works because Netflix didn't commission the series. BBC 1 did.

Netflix grossly misuses the term "original" in general.

Zootopia - 9/10 - Started off okay, but it god a lot better. Really enjoyed it.

i watched Four Rooms - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113101/reference

these multi-episodes films are always hit or miss, mainly due to the consistency between episodes. Tim Allen Roth, for some reason, decides to mime most of his performance, with weird grimaces and even weirder body language.

The first room kinda breaks the film; once you see a whole bunch of hot women with their tits in the air, it's hard to care about anything else.

Banderas was cool as always in room three, and i love a good puke joke

and his room has some kind of mysterious air about it that the others don't have, but all in all i would say it's easy to miss this film.

6.5/10 - mildly entertaining.

i didn't dislike the QT room, but it felt totally off with the rest of the film.

Benders season one 6.5/10
This is an IFC blatant ripoff of "The League". It has basically the same characters that do the same kind of crap only instead of fantasy football they are on a bad amateur hockey team. It is on Netflix so if you like "The League" and want a quick easy thing to watch there are only eight 20 min episodes. It isn't bad it just isn't as good as the show it is ripping off.

Resurrect dead: the mystery of the Toynbee tiles (documentary, 2011) 6/10

Watched last night. Only 87 minutes but I must say it seemed to take forever! OK, fascinating in some respects. Actually, I was more intrigued with the main "detective," Justin Duerr, an artist (and was the film's chief narrator, and was generally seen when speaking) who became obsessed with discovering the origin of the tiles that appeared by the hundreds mysteriously all over America, and one in Chile that held a huge clue (an address in Philadelphia). Several other people were likewise interested and they formed a team, and somehow a whole lot of this was recorded for the future documentary. Some of it was evidently reenacted but they made it difficult to determine what was reenacted and what was done live.

To me, it's not that interesting. I read the A.C. Clarke novel before I saw 2001. No mention was made of the book in the documentary, which strikes me as a little strange. Hard to believe that the guy who laid down all those tiles didn't read the book but you're left wondering how he could not have. That he took 2001's ending so seriously and established his own mystique and conclusions surrounding it establishes him as a semi-educated person at best. By the end of the movie I just wasn't terribly curious what had gone on, how and why this guy did what he did, which would be crucial in really liking this documentary. He was clearly more than a little daffy.

The Visit
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3567288/
5.5/10

While I don't feel like it was a waste of time, the payoff at the end was lackluster compared to how they tried to build up the suspense. It was pretty obvious to me what the end was going to be before the movie was 1/2 way over.

There were definitely some creepy and suspenseful moments but not enough to make it a better movie than it was.

I wanted to like it more since it was directed by M. Night Shyamalan.

I'm happily on the crapping on Hateful Eight train.
I really disliked it.

Anybody watching Voltron: Legendary Defender? Episodes 1-11 are out. Think there are 13 total.

Jurassic World 5/10 - I guess I was expecting a terrible movie after reading all the bad reviews. I don't think it was that bad, but it wasn't good either. Pretty predictable.

Joe Hisaishi in Budokan - Studio Ghibli 25 year anniversary concert 9/10

Some of you know Hayao Miyazaki, the creative force behind Sudio Ghibli. Joe Hisaishi is the composer of the soundtrack for Miyazaki's films. This concert was to celebrate 25 year of Studio Ghibli and release of Ponyo.

I am a big fan so this was great for me to rewatch.

Stepbrothers - 8/10

I have no clue what took me so long to see this, maybe I was getting a bit tired of Will Farrell at the time, but man I found this funny. It's pretty damn goofy for sure but its right up my alley. The sleepwalking scenes had me laughing in tears.

I honestly didn't like it the first time I saw up but upon further viewings I really started you think it was hilarious.

Anchorman was the same for me

Espn's "OJ, made in America" is a bit long, but so far is very, very well done.

 

[JEDI]

Warcraft 6.5/10

liked the ending. it wasn't the typical good guy wins w/no consequences.
the beginning was also good.

but the middle SUCKED.

I don't play warcraft so some of the in game jokes/references went over my head.


edit:
the film costs $160M?!
damn.. blizzard has some deeeeep pockets.
and it needs to earn at least $450 million to break-even

Espn's "OJ, made in America" is a bit long, but so far is very, very well done.

I tried watching the first episode thinking it was going to be about the OJ trial. As far as I could tell, it was more the recent history of LA with a side of OJ. I deleted it about half way through.

I'm sure it's a great documentary of that period in history. I guess from around the time of the Rodney King beating up until OJ's trial. But I don't really give a shit about LA or it's history.

Yea I've heard it's great but I'm waiting until they all get released so I can watch then back to back.

It gives background on race in LA which was very important to the case.

If you don't mind streaming it, they are all available on watchespn or whatever it is called.
