Does anyone here use MoviePass? If so, what do you think?
They are offering a year at $7.95 per month right now. So, I'm curious about experiences using this service.

We have 4 of them. Set up was very easy on all four accounts for us. They sent us 4 cards, they looks like debit cards. Each card is linked to a different email. We created an email for the 2 year old. I think you can do more than one account on one email but it seemed to be a bit confusing so we decided a one to one would be easier. Once we registered each account to the corresponding email address all four accounts were activated very quickly. We downloaded the Movie Pass app onto our phones, no issues there at all. The app is easy to navigate. It works off GPS and finds theaters close to you. You pick the theater, pick the movie you want to see. Once you select the movie you have thirty minutes to redeem your purchase, so they suggest you purchase the tickets either when you get to the movie or on your way there. Movie Pass sends the price of the movie admission to your movie pass card and you basically use it like a debit card at the ticket booth. Here's a cool feature we found out about. 3D movies are usually more expensive but the Movie Pass purchase will put the price of the regular ticket on your card and you just have to pay the difference at the box office. There's no "error" or anything like that if you pick a 3D movie or an I-MAX movie that has a different admission price than the regular showing. For four people, it's been very cost effective and easy to use, so we're happy with it so far. We've used it four times in the last month and haven't had any issues at all. It's a really good deal if you pay the 1-year $100.00 flat fee. If you go to the movies a lot like we like to, it'll definitely save you some money. There's a limit on how many movies you can use it for, but it's a ridiculous amount so there's no worry about hitting your limit or anything. I think it's something like 365 movies in a year, so one movie a day basically which I guess you could do if you had a lot of time on your hands. So far, we're very happy with the passes. Now, if they just made one for the concession stand purchases......lol
Hope that helps. Have a good one.
Forgot, we've used the passes with two different companies as far as theaters so far. We have Malco and Cobb-Vantress around here and we've been to both places twice and didn't have any issues on any of purchases. So the passes aren't limited to a certain movie vendor or anything. The clerks for both theater companies seemed knowledgeable about the MoviePass process and the clerk at Malco is actually the one who told us we could purchase tickets for 3D or IMAX movies with MoviePass and just pay the difference.

Wow - you are very prepared - good for you!We have a generator. We watched the DVD
We lose power pretty much every time there's a storm. Lots of trees out here so one of them or even a branch on the line and we're in the dark. Not to mention the corner that people take too fast and hit the power pole (4 times so far).
McCabe & Mrs Miller (1971) Warren Beatty, Julie Christie
I'm a huge Robert Altman fan and I've seen this one a few times. I bought the Criterion Collection blu-ray version of this and it is spectacular. This is the best looking version I've ever seen. I don't mean that it's spectacularly sharp as much as it looks like I what I think Robert Altman would have wanted it to look like. The film has this old-time quality to it that was achieved by flashing the negative (I learned this in the bonus interviews). It was a dangerous process to do in the field because the film could have been permanently damaged if not done correctly. As Altman explained, he could have done this safely in the lab but chose to do it in the field because he was always under the threat of getting fired and if he got fired, the studio would not be able to manipulate the look of his film.
Like many Altman movies, the basic story is not unique or special but the greatness of the film is in the way the story is told. I think that this Roger Ebert review is right on the money.

American Sniper (2014)
Excellent movie directed by Clint Eastwood of US Navy SEAL Chris Kyle. The ending brought me to tears.

Watched "The Ritual" on Netflix this weekend. Based on a book I read a few years ago by Adam Nevill, recommended by someone here on the SKMB. I thought they did a pretty good job of keeping the movie creepy instead of campy. There were some good evisceration scenes and the whole backdrop of the Swedish forest was spooky. Pretty good movie overall.

Andy recommended this one, as he had already seen it. I sat down to watch it, somewhat reluctantly, but ended up really rooting for this guy. Yes - that was a tragic ending
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart and the unforgettable Lee Marvin.

Pretty terrible but had some funny moments.

I thought the two kid brothers were the funniest characters in the movie, especially the younger one..lol
Starred Up (2013) - Jack O'Connell, Ben Mendelsohn
This is a British prison flick. Jack O'Connell is a young guy that is transferred from juvenile prison to adult prison (that's what starred up means) and lands in the same prison as his father. It's a gripping and brutal movie.
