Finally watched "Interstellar" last night. I didn't realize it was made by Chris Nolan the same guy who did "Inception". I was just as confused as I was the first time I watched Inception. Interstellar was a great movie but the ending confused me quite a bit. Think I've got it now, but I'm going to watch it again tonight I think. The second time I watched Inception I liked it a lot better since I picked up quite a bit more information.
I loved Inception, hope to watch Interstellar on cable. The score to Inception was epic. Did you like Interstellar?

Do you realize that the composer only used two notes for the music in Inception? Seriously, I watched the 'extra's' on the bluray with the composer and that's what he said. Sure, he re-arranged the notes, but it's still just two notes. :icon_eek:

It's unbelievable, but yeah, it seems to be so.

I've recently watched Flightplan (2005).
It begins with a glow of some mystery, this is what i consider a gothic alike picture. It would be true if i said, that the beginning makes you nervous. I was not hooked at all for the first 30 mins. The plot movement is not stable: too fast at the beginning, too slow in the middle and too fast near the end. I guessed the solution at 45 minute and it was not very interesting to watch outcome.

I watched Taking Lives (2004) last night.
Recommended for watching if you're inspired by Jolie, she's good here. She plays a FBI agent, her character had been sent to Canada in order to take part in serial murder investigation. The plot is tangled, it wrapped around little, but important love story. I was thrilled by outcome. It hooked me from the beginning, i woke up only when credits had been appeared on my TV-screen.

Good Kill (2014) Ethan Hawke

A fascinating movie with many layers. Ethan Hawke plays an air force pilot (Major Egan) that has been taken out of his plane and put in front of a screen flying drones. He is flying these drones from a base in Las Vegas. On the plus side for him, he gets to go home to his family every night and the most dangerous thing he does is drive home on the freeway. But the job is having a physiological impact on him because as he says in the film, he doesn't have any skin in the game anymore (he's not in danger). It doesn't seem as ethical to him to be bombing targets in front of a screen as it does when he's flying. Then matters get more complicated as the CIA gets involved and starts giving him questionable targets. With the drone he can see everyone he is hitting and he can see the collateral damage much clearer in front of the screen.

We hear of drone strikes all the time but most of us don't really have much of an idea how it works. This movie does a good job of showing us how the program works. Although the movie raises quite a few ethical questions, it shows many uses for these drones both good and bad. The movie is more about the psychological impact on the pilots. The movie really hit me from a different angle than I was expecting.

VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA (1961). The original movie, not the tv show. Seems a meteor shower messed-up the Van Allen radiation belt, and the Earth is starting to cook. Soon we'll all be dead. It's up to Walter Pidgeon and Peter Lorre to figure this mess out, from inside a state-o-the-art atomic submarine, with a crew that includes Joan Fontaine, a scrumptious pre-Genie Barbara Eden, and Frankie Avalon (?)--all of whom chain smoke throughout the entire flick. I guess if they launch a nuclear bomb from the depths of the ocean it'll solve everything (?), so that's where they go, despite the UN forbidding them to do so. A couple of saboteurs try jinxing the whole set-up, one of whom being the aforementioned Ms. Fontaine, who dies by falling into the submarine's shark tank; why they had a narrow walk-way crossing this open shark tank (or why they even HAD a shark tank) I never figured-out. Do our heroes succeed, or do we all die a fiery death? Sorry folks, no spoilers here (eeeeps!).

(Oh, I forgot to mention the giant Squid attack.)

Checked out Ricki and the Flash (2015) from the library. Thought it was a fun, sweet movie. Some serious parts, but it was heartwarming. Meryl Streep sang in the film and played the guitar (she learned for the movie). Also starred her daughter in real life, Mamie Gummer - it was cool to watch them together. Kevin Kline did a great job as well. Bet Rick Springfield never in a million years thought he would play opposite Meryl Streep in a film (he was actually good!)! It was only rated a 6 on IMDb, but I liked it much more than that. :)

Bridge of Spies.

Good movie. Spielberg does his usual very good job of taking a real-life event and telling it in very good dramatic style.

Notable: The surroundings. There may all kinds of CG involved, but the 1950s Brooklyn and Berlin put me there..

Nitpick: The lighting. I realized he's trying to give the movie an aged feel, but I thought, "Did the sun never shine in 1957? Did no one ever have bright lights on?"

We enjoyed it a lot.

Watched THE GOONIES with the punk last night, hadn't seen it since the eighties, realized how freakin ANNOYING the flick is. My god, those kids never shut up! I wanted to strangle little Sean Astin several times, and Chunk, too--yeesh, whining, screaming, rambling, pleading, yelling....ugh, found myself rooting for Ann Ramsey and Joey Pants--just shoot the noisy brats!

They called Corey Feldman 'Mouth', but he was the only one that wasn't making noise the whole time.
