I was watching "Wrinkles" from Prime Instant Video. Wow, that was a depressing movie. Very enjoyable, but jeez that was sad.
If you enjoyed Wrinkles then I suggest you take a look at When the Wind Blows.
Info : When the Wind Blows
I also enjoyed Insurgent - - quite well done for a YA movie and certainly far better than the tedious Hunger Games series. I hope they don't split up the third one into two movies, but I'm also looking forward to it. Shailene Woodley is solid in the lead, but I thought Miles Teller put on a pretty unconvincing performance in his post-Whiplash-expanded supporting role. A solid B+.
Yeah, it was difficult to sit through but great nonetheless. A very accurate depiction of the misery and suffering societal elites are willing to put others through when they elevate themselves and their endeavors above and beyond everyone else. A very blunt and frank assessment of most wars and most global poverty. The extreme violence is an essential vehicle to get this idea across.

Saw last Saturday "Inherent Vice" with Joaquin Phoenix in the theater and for the love of God (any God will do) I really don't have the slightest idea about what the story was trying to explain.
Yup, I really tried to like it. Just didn't happen. The narrators voice put me off a bit but something larger seemed to be missing.
Pacific Rim (2013)- I really enjoyed this the second time I saw it, exciting, kick ass, and technically impressive.. The following image although good, does not really do justice to the movie. Pacific Rim 2 is tenitively scheduled for April 2017.

Saw the third Hunger Games film last night with the daughter. It was okay. I've not read the books, but I think I can guess how the series will end. Tonight she wants to watch Hansel and Gretel which hunters. Not sure it looks that good, but we'll see.
I watched it last night too. Just boring. And I liked the first two films and the books. H&G was pretty bad, too.
It's not, but it's kind of fun in a dumb, throwaway, I-can't-believe-we-just-watched-that way
The Imitation Game - I thought it was really great. Worthy of the Oscar nomination.
Run All Night - We thought this was decent enough. A bit more violent than, but in line with, Liam Neeson's must-save-a-family-member run of movies.
Into the Woods - Darker than typical Disney fare, but overall, it wasn't very good.

Judging by the tone of the artsy-leaning conversation in this thread, low comedies are unlikely to be high on the list for many people here. However, for any connaisseurs of the crude who happen to wander in here, I would like to offer my highest recommendation for Get Hard, the new Will Ferrell/Kevin Hart movie that opened this past weekend.
Get Hard is the funniest movie I've seen in months.
For those on the fence about watching this film, this review via Forbes captured some of my positive experience. Here are some excerpts:

No problem with me and crude. I love Ace Ventura Pet Detective, Mystery Men, and Dumb and Dumber. My issue is that other than his performance in Megamind, where he had to conform to a character's personality, I've found frequently I can only stand limited exposure to Will Ferrell. I did not see Elf which might also be an exception, but his seemingly preferred comedy persona such as in Anchorman and Wedding Crashers is like comedy radiation. Only limited exposure can be tolerated.
Fortunately he had a minor role in Wedding Crashers. I'll keep an open mind though about this movie when a viewing opportunity comes along.

If I recall accurately, parallel universe time travel stories lose some of their impact for me. It unties the story teller's hands to do whatever they want, but has less meaning.
Last minute we decided to see "The Gunman" with Sean Penn. What.A.Stinker
Even stoned it was boring me, and way too much of Penn with his shirt off. Gratuitous I would call it.
Don't see it, not even on DVD.

With 12% on RT based on 125 reviews (4.2/10 average), all the majors giving it a thumbs down, even the normally much more positive audience review at 38% ... well, yeah.
We're going to go see It Follows this weekend, supposed to be fantastic (assuming you're not averse to horror films).
Please report back on your impressions, that movie looks interesting.

What did I say, I forgot. Why don't you refresh my mind?
I *do* remember not liking the way Looper was handled as compared to other time travel stories and it had something to do with parallel universes.Unbroken (2014)- True story of a Olympic Athlete and WWII Japanese POW. An excellent well-done story, but too long, to much misery for my tastes, to tedious, the kind of movie I only want to watch once. The feeling of being there airborne was excellent and the CGI aviation shots are incredibly realistic. No seats and harnesses for for the guys in the back of the B25. Just hang onto some straps...
