Last night I went to see The Wolf of Wall Street. Very good but about twenty minutes longer than it needed to be. Di Caprio was brilliant in it.
Kill Your Darlings. My girlfriend made me watch it with her. At first I was confused, as she hates Jack Kerouac, but then harry potter went gay and everything made perfect sense again.
It was alright.

The Spiderwick Chronicles.
It was a cute little movie. I used to have the book box set, I should dig it out and give them a read.

Night of the Blood Beast. Vintage terrible Roger Corman, with an alien in a raggy ghost suit and a parrot head. 
"Geography Club." Coming-of-age story about a high school student who's gay . Thoughtful and refreshing, loved it.
Into The White
It has Rupert Grint in it, who played Ron Weasley. It was during WW2, two British soldiers and four German soldiers struck each other's planes down in Norway during a blizzard. They had to work together to survive. It's on Netflix and it's really, really good.

Let's hear it for Phil Tucker!
Didn't watch a movie per se yesterday, but caught 'Godzillathon' which was an examination of the big guy from his inception up until a few years ago. The guy who did the narrative made a lot of funny asides, and he struck me as someone who truly loved the series. Worth a watch to see how the series went from serious in tone to campy, then back to semi-serious again.
Can't wait for the newest edition. Hope it works out well or at the very least, better than the Matthew Broderick travesty.
So, I took your review and rented this from Amazon.
OH-MY-GAWD!!!
EXCELLLENTTTTTTTT MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just watched Bernie on netflix. It has Jack Black in one of his best and most memorable roles, playing a very quirky, soft-spoken funeral director who gets involved with a despicable rich widow. A dark comedy, for sure, and worth checking out for Black's great performance!

I saw the Lego Movie at a nephew's birthday.
It is a light, silly, fun subversive movie that undermines the idea of following the instructions. Also the special effects, like the rolling Lego ocean, are great.
If I have any quibble, it's that it fails to subvert Lego's regrettable abandonment of its gender-neutral strategy some years back. This is very much a boy's club movie. All of the main characters and almost all of the supporting characters are male. The two major supporting girl characters are pretty much stereopes aimed at boys: the cool ninja chick girlfriend and the cutesy pink pollyanna who goes berserk at the right moment. The minor supporting girl characters are a crazy cat lady, a generic construction worker, Wonder Woman, and the offscreen little sister who ruins everything.
The movie is fun, but I am a wee bit soul-crushed by that.

Just saw About Time. It's a thoroughly charming movie. It can be a bit schmaltzy, but I enjoyed it from beginning to end anyway. I had seen a preview a while back and thought it might be interesting in spite of the apparent gooey-ness, and I was right. Domhnall Gleeson was really delightful as the lead, though Rachel McAdams was fairly dull as the leading lady.
I saw Capote last night. Philip Seymour Hoffman was brilliant.
Also watched Enough Said with James Gandolfini. Anough great actor.
I enjoyed both movies but came away a little sad. So much talent lost so young.

Watched Chariots of Fire again last night. Anytime I need to feel inspired, it's always there waiting.

I watched Ace Ventura Pet Detective today. It was a friendly reminder of how crazy Jim Carrey used to be. lol
Gave Ace Ventura, Pet Detective, a quick watch yesterday...
...for five minutes.
It reminded me of how much I hated the movie when it first came out--and still hated it.
OTOH, Maniac Cop and its sequels are pretty awesome in a craptastic way. Not great by any means, but entertaining.

Blair Witch II, going all meta, with Jeffrey Donovan chewing more scenery than his skinny body can hold.
I like Jeffrey Donovan. There are some nasty characters in this movie that you want to see die in painful manner. But the end = meh. Too bad, since it was a decent ride for the most part.
ETA: But after that, Dog Soldiers.
Of course, I 
Sean Pertwee in just about anything.
