I've sat on this for a day and so far the only issues I can think of are, some pretty bad shaky cam in some fight scenes,

I DESPERATELY want to see this.

Trey recommended this one, and it just popped up on Netflix. Dry, but very comprehensive. I liked it a lot.

Also, the narrator sounds exactly like a serial killer explaining his worldview. This is definitely a man with a manifesto prepared for the media. He's fucking intense. I could have sworn this movie would end with him putting it all together and concluding he must quicken the unrighteous to let the Earth be as new.

I'm pretty sure Mr. Plinkett is a parody of him, come to think of it. I think the guy from RedLetterMedia saw this documentary and a lightbulb went off. There are moments where it's uncanny.

Anyway. I enjoyed it on its merits, it's fascinating, but I kept cracking up at how much fucking contempt this guy has for, like, poor characters living in unreasonably expensive houses. Or whatever. He'll be goin' along just fine, and then all of a sudden a movie in the '70s had too many white people in it and it's like he's convincing himself to bring a rifle to a hospital.

I mentioned this on our end of 2013 show.  I am in love with this movie.  Brie Larson is a keeper, folks.

Same.

Roger Ebert called G-Force "pleasant" and "inoffensive". While I agree that those cute guinea pigs are pleasant to the eye, the lack of a good story can offend a discerning moviegoer. Just like Yogi Bear, this flick utterly fails in the story department. You can skip it, unless you're a die-hard furry fan.

(Disclaimer: I watched it dubbed, so I didn't have the opportunity to hear the original voice performances.)

Autómata (2014) - 6/10 (6.1)

Interesting Sci-Fi film, although it mainly goes over themes similar to those in "I, Robot", regarding AI intelligence and robotic self-awareness and "breaking the 3 laws". Also has some Blade Runner-esque future environments, however it never feels as real or gritty (the digital photography is too clean and polished).
While derivative, it's quite well made and well acted, and surprisingly minimalist and atmospheric. Some would probably call it boring though.

The November Man (2014) - 4/10 (6.3)

New Pierce Brosnan action film. Wasn't very good unfortunately. Some cringeworthy performances, very thin-feeling plot, a jumpy, incoherent plot with diffuse and underdeveloped character relationships. Like a Bourne movie it involves Secret Agencies and multiple countries and continents, but it never felt cohesive or engaging to me.
At times they will explain the importance of something after it happens, which robs you of a feeling of involvement as things are happening, only learning of their significance afterwards, which is just stupid storytelling.

Before The Devil Knows You're Dead (2007) - 7/10 (7.3)

Sidney Lumets last film. Excellent performances in a severely depressing film. 2 brothers decide to rob a jewelry store, but it goes wrong, causing harm to people close to them. Then it's just downhill from there.
Sad, depressed people in shitty situations, nothing spruced up to be more palatable. You will probably feel really shitty watching this. Which is a testament to the acting and direction, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ethan Hawke, among others.

Interstellar (2014) - 7/10 (9.0)

Really liked it, need to see it again.

The Babadook (2014) - 5/10 (7.0)

Pretty decent low-budget horror flick. Mother and son live alone and begin to be troubled by a demon. Familiar ingredients.
Supposedly an allegory of depression and psychological trauma of having lost someone, battling internal demons as it were.
Personally I liked the dramatic aspects and acting, which is why I didn't like the horror aspect of it. Because it's supposed to be a parallel to battling internal demons, the actual demon in the film is not developed at all. No backstory, nothing to get you involved. You don't know whats at stake, why you should fear the demon (is it going to kill them, possess them, slightly annoy them?). It's creaking doors and a black, floaty ghost, but the visuals on their own aren't scary, you've seen them before.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014) - 4/10 (6.2)

Pointless, harmless, unengaging. Sloppy 2-dimensional writing. Bleh.

The Shining (1980) - 9/10 (8.5)

Hadn't actually seen "The Shining" in many years, so watched it again with my current brain.
Really superb film, so precise, so atmospheric and Cold. It doesn't try to give you any emotional support, neither in cinematography, nor music (there's no "family theme" musical queue here, the most respite you can hope for is that the music will completely stop droning for a while). The blood elevator shot happens in the first 10 minutes, which I had completely forgot. It doesn't get much happier after that.

A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014) - 4/10 (6.2)

Someone wrote a Family Guy episode where Brian the dog goes back in time to the old West, and is forced to endure that era with a modern sensibility and knowledge of those times. Then they stretched that script out to a nearly 2 hour movie, removed the time travelling aspect but kept the modern sensibilities in the main character.
Really lazy feeling movie. Not as horrible as I was expecting, but even then didn't illicit many laughs. They just repeat Family Guy style humor, but it does not work in a live action setting. The clash in style is just too big at times. Throw in a standard, really clunky and unmotivated love story, and a completely pointless, disconnected bad guy who is there simply because the story needs to have a bad guy, and you have a mess with no sense of real focus or sense of purpose.

...that looks like a parody poster.

The cast, most likely. Assuming everyone had a three film contract, extending it to four gave everyone room to cash in. Don't blame them.

Also, when did Draco Malfoy get cast in Twilight?
