Kingsman: The Secret Service


Here it is, the movie that asks, "can the later Roger Moore James Bond films be out-overdone?"; the answer, as it turns out, is "oh, hell, yes"--but why, I ask, would one actually WANT to?

I started out mildly amused, but at some point grew to hate the entire thing.

OSCAR NOMINATED SHORT FILMS 2015: ANIMATED



This year's selections were the best they've been in some time; I think my favorite is Me and My Moulton.

Sadly, though, the award may well go to the very pretty but completely uninspired & unoriginal Disney entry, Feast.

Big Eyes

What a great, engaging, funny film--it actually made me want to go out & read more about the topic!

And kudos to Tim Burton in not ruining the whole thing by casting Johnny Depp.

The Imitation Game



Sherlock Holmes (and/or Khan) & the one woman from Pirates of the Caribbean and some other people have some brainy adventures, and it's really suspenseful & super-cool.

I don't think there's going to be a sequel.

Into the Woods



I don't know why this movie got so much hate; it was awesome!

Except for that Johnny Depp--that damned, damned Johnny Depp.
