Westworld is one of my all time favorite movies.....

and i just walked out of a new one

Ex Machina

this is one of those films when i finished it i immediately wanted to talk to someone about it....seriously Exo i wish i had your number for this one

so last year my favorite film was about an alien on earth trying to understand what it is to be human

this film has very much some of the same feelings but is not that at all.....as the caption says "there is nothing more human than the will to survive"...but this film is as much about existential crisis as it's about not having that crisis

i'm not going to write much...as Exo really covered the main points without going into the plot itself.....and honestly i don't think you can talk about this one without major spoilers

i will add that the soundtrack is fucking amazing....and like Under the Skin....is a major player in the general feeling of this film

for me this is hands down the best film of this year.

That happens occasionally. I for one think these mods should get their asses mobile and fix it.

It's back again. Personally, I think it's Chinese hackers trying to steal our defense secrets.

Hooly shieeet.
If kill bill, James Bond and let's say Green Street Hooligans (or any British movie showing the "lower"class") movies got together and had a freak baby, this movie would be that baby.
I wasn't expecting this movie to be this good - I enoyed the full 2 hours of it and just wanted more. Call me ignorant but this just put Matthew Vaughn as a director on my radar..
Anyway, I don't think I could summarize the plot without spoiling anything so I'll use the short summary from IMDB:
A spy organization recruits an unrefined, but promising street kid into the agency's ultra-competitive training program, just as a global threat emerges from a twisted tech genius.
And don't get me wrong, this movie is .. silly. Extremely over the top at times. Completely ridiculous. And extremely, extremely funny and entertaining.
Word of warning though: this is not a Hollywood Blockbuster that goes to great lengths to make the movie available to the widest possible range of audiences, for example by limiting violence. Oh no. This is a British "head on a spike" type of movie that pulls no punches, so feel warned.

Couldn't agree more. I still can't get it out of my mind. Great film.

The church scene is one of the coolest action scenes ever.

Last night I had an awesome night-in movie date with my girlfriend. We watched Frank Capra's film adaptation of Arsenic & Old Lace (1944).

It was her first time seeing the classic and she loved every crazy minute of it, (particularly the President Taft joke toward the end.)

And BTW - that's when you know you're with the right woman - when she doubles over at a frikkin joke about William Taft.

Went and saw the latest Avengers, it was an Avengers movie.
Really looking forward to Mad Max: Fury Road next week.
And I really, really want to see Ex Machina.

Certainly are. It's apparently a must see now. I can't wait.
