Pink

Nothing like the preview that made me think Bachchan was playing a masked killer, this movie begins somewhere in the middle, then dips in & out of confusion as it slowly fills in the gaps.

Bachchan's courtroom speeches would surely anger the parents of some college rapists.

Hell or High Water

Offers just enough resolution to leave room for a sequel.

This is an Art Film, though, so I know there will be no sequel--thank goodness.

Joker

In the last line before the intermission, a woman tells a man she will marry him if he installs a toilet.

Of course, I had to come back after the break.

Star Trek Beyond

Well, I thought, for obvious reasons, they would finally let go of their fetish with the TV series cast--but they didn't.

A photo of the aging cast in their movie years, really?

The Intern

What we have here, essentially, is two pretty big stars playing in a really bland made-for-television movie.

One you may actually enjoy, after about 40 minutes is cut away for commercials, and providing you fall asleep well before the ending.

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.

Amazing Spider-Man 2

Really catches the both the joy & the guilt of the character; this was a lot of fun to watch.

During the credits, though, I was very disappointed to see an "X-Men" clip, rather than the SamJack visit I think Peter deserves.

The Oscar-Nominated Short Films 2012: Animation

I was eager to see whether there was a film more amazing and award-worthy than "Paperman."

There really wasn't.

Zero Dark Thirty

It's not a documentary, and it's certainly not art, so what is it?

I guess if I wanted any insight into what was being attempted here (if not torture porn), I should have sat through the whole thing--but that would have just been asking too much.
