Predestination - I enjoyed this one. There were a couple of issues I noticed with the time-traveling, but overall, it's well done.
Maps to the Stars - Based on the trailer, I thought this was going to be a lot better than it actually was. But it was actually pretty boring. Julianne Moore is great in it, but that's about it, unfortunately.

North By Northwest (1959)- my favorite Hitchock movie! 
Trivia: The Mt. Rushmore house, was a matt painting with some full size sections built in Hollywood. When the Park Service discovered there would be a fight and several deaths on the Monument, they banned them from filming certain scenes on location, so besides the long shots parking lot and some exterior shots by the facilities, the rest was on a set. Both me and my wife who visited Mt. Rushmore recognized the exterior of the park building and walkways. (link)
They did an excellent job simulating the actors on the face of Mt. Rushmore!

Angriest Man in Brooklyn, last film of Robin Williams. Emotional roller coaster with some genuine laugh out loud moments. Good lensing of various gritty and tony spots in the neighborhood.
Watching The Green Mile (1999) on AMC right now before the new episodes of Game of Thrones (HBO) and Mad Men (AMC) come on later tonight.
Just watched Song of the Sea with the family. Beautifully animated wonderful movie. Equivalent or better than a Miyazaki film.
We just saw Birdman the other night as well. It was good, I must admit. The one-shot filming technique (or the illusion of) was impressive.
Also watched Serena. It starts off decent, but it becomes weird pretty quickly, and not in a good way.
Hombre (1967)- Outstanding Western morality through the eyes of a white man raised by Indians and his interaction with other stage coach travelers during a hold up. Paul Newman and Richard Boone at his most menacing. "I've got a question for you, how are you going to get back down that hill?"
Waterhole #3 (1967)- Outstanding late 60's Western comedy with James Colburn, Carroll O'Connor, and Bruce Dern... If you like 60s Western Comedies. I caught just part of this yesterday and may try to find a streaming source for it.
And to top those, said with a Paint your Wagon (1969)- a Western comedy musical, although you have to focus on the actors and not their singing abilities (Lee Marvin, Clint Eastwood- Clint can carry a tune, Lee is hopeless and he sings 3 songs, Jean Seberg was dubbed over), which is sad for a musical, not a bad story though..
The best moving song is "They Call The Wind Maria" sung by, get this, a real singer (Harve Presnell)!!

Some of Steven King's best writing is non-horror, thinking of this and Shawshank Redemption.
If Ex Machina is still playing the 2nd weekend in May, I'm going to go. Things have been rough here so...
but lately catching up on some old school Martial Arts movies. I need some hopeful and fun movies and these fit the bill nicely.
I'm finding I enjoy these even more now than I did when a local station ran them every weekend decades ago. It's kind of the way I felt when I discovered spaghetti westerns. I've always enjoyed Martial arts movies but never knew anyone except the really big names.

Why do you think some patrons hated Birdman?
I didn't hate Birdman, nor did I enjoy it.
Best I can say is that I admired it for it's technique.
Don't forget Stand By Me.
I don't remember a lot about this movie.
Thanks for Birdman info guys. I just don't know if I'll watch it, maybe!
If you watch the entire film you'll see how the war and all the tours he did basically destroyed his family and his life. I never took that movie for propaganda.
