Another great little British movie. well worth a viewing 8/10.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0365907/ A Walk Among the Tombstones
Another action movie by Neeson. Twas ok, gripping and brutal in places 7/10.

A nice easy going movie to pass an hour or so 6/10.

What I loved about A Walk Among The Tombstones was when he dropped his gun right at the beginning and when he fell down the stairs (and other bits that could be spoilers). It's rare that films are made that truly resemble how things are in real life.  Great direction in my opinion.

I watched IMDb: Automata on news years day and, while the film was a little entertaining and thought provoking, it had 2 speeds which were dead-slow and stopped (it may have also had reverse).  Not a film to watch if you're a little tired - unless you need to fall asleep.

5.5/10

Agree he did seem a little more human.

It's Christmas so I'm off and have a little time to do homely things.  Usually I don't watch anything except the news - even on weekends.

I think I'll take some time off work after this next batch is out of the way, and properly catch up with some movies and books that are gathering dust.

I watched Inherent Vice (2014) today. The time and place is fantastically achieved. The costumes, hair, make-up are truly remarkable. Brolin and Phoenix performances are very good. BUT this is a 2.5 hs movie. It has hundreds thousands of characters and the plot is unnecessarily complicated (I suspect the novel is way better than the movie). It tries to be psychedelic and ends up being narcoleptic. The music helps a lot in that regard. I can't say it's a bad movie but I'm writing this so if you decide to watch it you do it with both eyes open. Until you fall asleep.

Passed a hour or so on a Sunday afternoon. Didnt think much about the movie at all.

Fury 2014
Wish I had subtitles for the Non english speaking parts but enjoyable.

I spent much of this morning reading about that movie. After reading the summary, I couldn't figure out what it was actually meant to be about. Even the synopsis was overly complicated.

Maybe they tried to be true to the book. That's not always good for a movie.

Sounds like a rehash of For Richer or Poorer (1997)

Watched about 5 over the last week of which Wetlands was the smartest. If bodily fluids don't gross you out, I'd recommend it. 8/10

I've just finished watching Contracted which was a strange film to say the least.

Reading the reviews on IMDB you'd run into a lot of 1 star ratings which I don't think are at all valid as I think all the acting was sound.  Some actors even seemed to punch above their weight (the Jack Black looking guy for one) so while the story might have been a bit poop, it was watchable nonetheless.

I'm going to give it a 6 if only for the maggots.
