I liked Straight outta Compton.

I plan on watching that. Jackson looks like Ice Cube.

My latest:
Here's an example how a small budget film with an imaginative script, decent actors, and a creative director can produce an interesting film. I imagine a major studio throwing big names and big bucks at an identical project and reducing it to standard tropes and the routine, flash-bang (and silly-ass) ending.
I'm referring to Listening (2014).

Cooties. Sucked, inna word.
Makes you wonder what happens in an actor's mind when he/she signs on for something this lame. Particularly when he's (in this case E. Wood) actually been in some strong films. 4/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2490326/

But the real piece of crap film I watched yesterday was Howl... which is what, I imagine, the audience must have done during the movie. This dog-wannabe-wolf started well but lacked any semblance of sustainability. 2/10

One thing is for sure, T, is that you have some real staying power.

I'll nut a film off in the first 10 minutes if it's crap.

I suffer movies till the very bitter end too. IDK why. It must be the "glass half full" in me.  Sometimes it takes me several days to watch a bad movie. That only makes things worse.

I watched from dusk til dawn on IFC, and then a few days later I watched the first 30 minutes on bbca. The edits were interesting. Hell of a soundtrack.

Watching a movie once isn't a real measure for me: anyone can sleep/ catnap/ daydream all the way through a crap picture once. I measure success by rewatchability. I have watched (e.g.) Armageddon dozens of times (one day, maybe, Harry Stamper will survive ...), but I cannot bring myself to watch Prometheus again. That is despite thinking that I had enjoyed Prometheus when I first came out of the theatre.

I have to watch the thing all the way through and then let my subconscious decide if it was worthwhile, as obviously the conscious me makes poor decisions and I wouldn't want that to happen only ten minutes in!

(There are many, many pictures for which I cannot remember what happens much after the opening credits. I don't rewatch those, either.)

Sometimes I don't make it to the second line of dialogue. This is on account that the first holds enough evidence to get the hell outta there.

This is especially true of Segal movies.

I would think that would be evident from the movie poster.

... or the cast list.

I really laughed out loud at those.

The Walk (2015).
OMFG... there were scenes in this film which literally had me gripping the arms of my chair lest I fall out of it. Just thinking about it gives me vertigo.
Philippe Petit was absolument fou, suicidal, vain and a slew of other words of the same ilk. He was also truly awesome and one of the bravest (no, "fearless" might be more accurate; a lot of regular folk are brave in so many different ways) human beings I could think of. What an audacious thing to do.

^ That looks like it's haemorrhaged around 25 million $ from budget to takings.  What's up with that? Looks like an excellent movie to me.

I watched The Little Prince which is a beautifully crafted piece of animation combining hand-drawn, stop-frame and CGI techniques throughout it.  It was a very touching and wonderful book adaptation too.

Those with kids beware though: it is a little long and quite slow in parts and younger children will bail midway if they lose their attention. It might be better to watch it in a couple of sittings.

Still, it's worth a watch for us growd-ups.
