[Famous Mortimer]

I also used it twice, terrible grammar on my part.

Pausing for a cuppa in the middle of "Wedlock", a classic bit of Rutger Hauer action. He does a good job of appearing frail and nerdy-ish in it.

I'm working on a freelance project and it involves the top 20 on Rotten Tomatoes this year. It's kind of a fascinating list because of how much it's dominated by foreign and documentary films. Poland, Chile, Sweden, and... half Korean/half American (whatever Snowpiercer was) all make the list. I trimmed out films with less than 100 reviews.

Gloria (2014) 99%
Boyhood (2014) 99%
The Babadook (2014) 98%
Life Itself (2014) 98%
Citizenfour (2014) 97%
We Are the Best! (2014) 97%
Love Is Strange (2014) 96%
Blue Ruin (2014) 96%
Ida (2014) 96%
Whiplash (2014) 96%
The LEGO Movie (2014) 96%
Snowpiercer (2014) 95%
Nightcrawler (2014) 95%
Pride (2014) 94%
Frank (2014) 93%
Wild (2014) 93%
Birdman (2014) 93%
How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014) 92%
The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) 92%
X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) 92%

Surprised to see x-men over guardians with all the love guardians got.

Glad to see blue ruin on there. Great movie.

We watched Pride tonight based on this RT review, it was pretty good and you will enjoy it. But if you are like me and have trouble with a British accent you are going to miss a ton. I really wish it was subtitled. I'll bet half of what was said I just couldn't understand.

Well, Reese Witherspoon took her clothes off in "Wild", so she probably clinched the Oscar.

Pretty good movie. Made me want to hike the Pacific Coast Trail. Too bad I'm a middle-aged fatty.

Babadook is pretty dope. Creepy.

we are on our way to Ashland where my family is escaping Alabama for. My eldest graduated from SOU there. His girlfriend is the hippie with the dog in the scenes done in Ashland for this movie.

Yeah, it was good to learn that Oregon was already hippie central back in 1995. Kudos to you for escaping Alabama.

Gotta say, I enjoyed the heck out of "The Interview". Anybody who liked "Pineapple Express" should like this movie, pretty similar humor and style. And Seth Rogen got himself a gorgeous girlfriend again (Diana Bang).

[The Third Man]

Babadook is pretty rad. Creepy.

Heck yeah. I love that that movie's horror stems from what's ultimately just a slightly amped-up yet realistic take on what it must be like to be a widowed mother.

I watched a movie called Coherence a few nights ago and I can't stop thinking about it, trying to figure it out. It is based on the Schrödinger's cat thought experiment, sort of. I could probably watch it 20 times (twice so far).

And kids being little ass holes.

My ridiculous binge of NBC's Hannibal prompted me to re-watch Silence of the Lambs for the first time since Ace of Base roamed the earth. The rampant misogyny in that film is kind of shocking- I assume for effect to play Clarice up as a feminist hero of sorts. Ironically, Lecter- one of the greatest monsters in movie history- is the only one that gives her proper respect throughout.
