I can't stand Ben Affleck.

So now that that's out of the way, I watched Gone Girl last night because my 21 y.o. son's girlfriend brought it into the house and she was all like, "lookie what I've got. Can we watch this tonight? Pleeeeaaaaassse?"

So I read the back, (word to the wise, get out your reading glasses) and saw it has an "R" rating.

OK, you've now got my interest.

From the first scene to the last, I was like those sails that Ox can only dream of...HOOKED!!

And it was fantastic!!

I highly recommend it even if you hate Ben Affleck.

And PS, don't watch this in front of the kids as it does have some gore like Ben's penis.

Oh, my....well, unfortunately I've made a near career out of watching really bad movies. Wife leaves town with the kids for a weekend and I'll go through 5-8 movies I've saved up hoping one will be somewhat good. So, I'm short on 'good' movies to talk about, but could tell you many to avoid and even a few that will really mess with your head.

If I try to remember the last 'good' movie I watched, it would be .... damn. I suck.

Is American Sniper still considered recent?

Kingsmen: The Secret Service was really good. The Wedding Ringer made me laugh more than it should have, a really great movie. I'll go with those for now...

Just saw Nightcrawler Saturday night. It's good. Not great. The movie asks you suspend disbelief a little too much. Also (and I don't think I've ever made this complaint before) the music selection/score was really questionable at times. The main character is kind of interesting because he has no real background.

American Sniper was not good.

As far as this year is concerned, Whiplash and Birdman pretty much obliterated every other movie. But St. Vincent, Interstellar, and Gone Girl were all worthy of high praise. Grand Budapest Hotel, Imitation Game, and Nightcrawler were all solid, as well.

Whiplash has the best closing 10 minutes I've seen in a film in a very long time.

Wrong. It was good, just not the greatest thing out there like some people were saying.


Agreed. I didn't think it was the greatest movie of all time or anything, but it had a good story line and challenged what you thought it would be. It was a war movie, that wasn't really a war movie.

Battle scenes and Cooper's performance were about the only good things about American Sniper. Everything else was disjointed and poorly put together.
