Spy was funny, definitely better than wasting money to see terminator or magic mike.

It's fun. The script is pretty basic but the gags are funny indeed. The best: Melissa McCarthy and Peter Serafinowicz's performances. It lacks a stronger (funnier) "bad guy". Rose Byrne was bleeh...

I see what you mean. He's not a comedy actor and his performance is a bit embarrassing at times. But they probably intended to do a parody/pastiche of his own roles in movies like The Transporter or Crank and that was achieved.

We watched Inside Out and I truly adored the premise of this film.  It allowed me a lot of scope to address emotional issues with both my children, and it even reminded me that emotions, like all things, need balance.

Excellent movie in my opinion - but perhaps it was more poignant for someone with relatively young children.

Also, I may have had a little tear running down my face at the end, but I'll deny it if asked.

Derivative of the Numskulls, in my opinion.

Derivative of the Shoulder Angel, in my opinion. Or even "The Shepherd of Hermas" - just to continue the shepherding theme a little longer.

I watched Jurassic World yesterday. The story was predictable. The characters were predictable. During the 1st half hour I thought the little kid's character would have got an important role but then it dissolved into nothing. D'Onofrio's acting skills were wasted in this movie. Don't get me wrong: it was entertaining. But I'm glad the tickets were 2x1 if you know what I mean.
Finally I'll talk to you, raptors: make up your minds!!  :D

But you must admit it's a great vehicle for product placement.

"Vehicle" indeed! This is from a site dedicated to cars:

The star is not Chris Pratt, but a lineup of cars including the new GLE, the G63 AMG 6x6 and a small army of Sprinter vans and Unimogs.
Parts of the trailers look like thinly-veiled Mercedes ads.

They always remind me of "The Little World of Don Camillo" from when I was young(er).

It's Animal house for me.

The Conspiracy (2012). A refreshingly well-made mockumentary, found-footage film.

http://www.firstshowing.net/2012/fantastic-fest-2012-the-conspiracy-is-terrifying-on-multiple-levels/

But, really, I only mention seeing this movie as a means to share an anecdote from years ago. I'd seen Cloverfield at the theater when it was released and, walking to the parking lot afterwards, there was a couple about my age in front of me... the husband says to his wife: "That was the lousiest movie I ever saw; the damn director couldn't even hold the camera steady..."

I got around to watching Maggie last night and my internal jury is still "out" as to how good/bad it was.

I'm not fooled my the minimal dialogue chestnut that is supposed to give a film 'atmosphere', as most of the time all that does is send you to sleep (the wife was testament to that).  However, seeing Arnold force a tear out to order did soften him enough to make me forget the Terminator for a few minutes, and therefore allowed me to get involved with his character to some degree.

All in all though, the film was about nothing more than euthanasia. While that was perhaps thought provoking enough to make the film stand up, the sheer lack of zombies and action made it too disappointing for a film starring the big man.

something-or-other/10.
