Ah ha, so this is where my thread went!!!! Someone could've told me

I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
Watched The November Man, an espionage action movie that I somehow missed hearing about last year when it was new. Stars Pierce Brosnan and the stunning Olga Kurylenko. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Yepp! I guess so.
My favorite film of the past 6 months:
Project Almanac - at first the 'found footage' irritated me, but it got more and more interesting as it went.
How come this thread doesn't stay put?
Watched Hector And The Search For Happiness. I liked this one. IT stars Simon Pegg in a more serious tone than usual as a shrink who goes on a world trip to find what happiness is. China, Tibet, Africa , LA. Full of extended cameos, Chrisopher Plummer, Toni Collette, Jean Reno. Somewhat contrived ,but thought provoking and entertaining. Pegg does really well with the role,as does the rest of the cast with thier's. Worth a watch ,8 of 10 for me.
Great movie, enjoyed it a lot, though a bit predictable.

It was okay; kind of reminiscent of "As Good as it Gets," although I think that was a much better flick. But you know, Murray and Nicholson were the same "shmuck with a hidden heart of gold" character. Saw it because my wife's a Melissa McCarthy fan.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 - When, oh when, will Hollywood (and NewZealandwood) learn to stop making 2 (or 3 or 4 or 5) part epic movies of a single book, just to squeeze a few more dollars from moviegoers? By the time of the only action sequence (a half-assed one at that), I was asleep. Jennifer Lawrence phoned in her performance. Philip Seymour Hoffman died to get out of the series. Hope Mockingjay Part 2 is worth the wait, and worth sitting through a pointless Part 1. On deck I have part gazillion of the Hobbit expanded movie. Can hardly wait.

Yep, saw it in the theatre because I generally enjoy Bill Murray. Funny, just saw 'As Good As It Gets' the other night too, not bad, funny moments here and there. 'Vincent' is the only film I've seen Melissa McCarthy in, she did play a likable character.
I haven't bothered with the new 'Hunger Games'. Maybe when the next one comes out I'll seem them together. I think of those type, my favorite is 'The Giver' which I actually enjoyed.
The Giver was pretty good. Recently I read where Jeff Bridges is now disappointed with it. It was an interview with Bridges on Charlie Rose that first got me interested in seeing the movie.

Watched Foxcatcher last night. No complaints about the acting or the (true) story. The pacing seemed very slow. Especially when you know going in that it ends in murder, and you know whodunnit. It was in the news a few years ago; I don't think that's a spoiler. Decent movie, but a nomination for best picture?
To be fair, I have seen a slower movie. Melancholia. That one was intentionally sluggish to let you inside the mind of the chronically clinically depressed. I wanted out.

Melancholia - well done but by then end I was ready to track down Lars Von Trier and beat him to a pulp.

After streaming Melancholia a few months back, I made the mistake of taking on Antichrist.

Yeah, I saw a preview and thought it was going to be something rapturous. Instead it was quite the opposite. Great performance by Kirsten Dunst. Very interesting movie, but I hoped for less of a downer. I would not see it again. I don't think.
The Homesman--Hillary Swank & Tommy Lee Jones in an unusual western. I thought it was pretty good.
I really liked that one also.
no tunes, no dynamics, no nosebone
Saw St Vincent last night. Agreed ,reminiscent of As Good As It Gets, but Murray's character is a man run over by life, Nicholsons was a crazy man. AGAIG was a "bigger" movie, more characters ,bigger budget. Non the less St Vincent has charm a 9 of 10. Love the Russian hooker.
Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1--I enjoy the franchise, so I enjoyed the installment. Perhaps not as good as the previous two, but I didn't find it boring. If you like the franchise you'd probably enjoy it.
The Homesman - really liked this atypical western.
The Hobbit Part XXXVIII:The Battle of the 5 Armies - While I still don't believe this regular-length novel should have been divided into several 2-hour segments, I enjoyed this final episode, which had more action than the other segments combined. Only complaint: could they not have had a recap of the previous episode, since they gave me a couple years to forget where they left off in the story? Aside from that, good Tolkien fun!

I didn't find it boring either. Actually liked it quite a bit. Sure it wasn't chock full o' action, but I was engaged the whole way through. Definitely left me looking forward to the next one.
