Yep.

Something very similar happens in Lucy. Or at least it looks similar.

I also finally watched Under the Skin, which was amazing.

Saw Foxcatcher and enjoyed it very much. When I see sports movies, I get really irritated when there is no attempt to mimic the sport. They really did a good job here, even the way Dave the coach walked with his arms kind out and hunched over, they showed him walking away a couple of times. I don't know what is about that but it kind of captured to me accurately the culture of wrestlers.

Very good movie though, good job with the wrestling stuff (wasn't perfect but it was good enough).

We also watched Love Is Strange, which I would give a rating of "ok". It got very good ratings on rotten tomatoes by the critics, but lower by the general audience. To me this was one of those movies where the subject matter was going to make it impossible for the artsy-fartsy people not to love it. It was kind of boring I thought, well acted and all but the story line just was blah. I will say they made the absolute most out of that story line.

I'm making my way through the Oscar movies. Out of American Sniper, Birdman, and The Imitation Game, it's not even close for me. The Imitation Game was outstanding. American Sniper was good, but it seemed like they put it together without editing it. It was choppy at times, and the scene with the baby was embarrassing. The individual performances in Birdman weren't enough to overcome a strange story. Keaton, Norton, Watts, and Stone were great, though.

Whiplash is my favorite movie of the year so far. Not counting Planet Gangbang 2 of course.

Planet Gangbang 2

I didn't know she was in to that.

I'll be honest I googled Best porn movies 2015 and that was the first one that came up.

Sorry planet.

Speaking of the Oscars, TCM's annual "31 Days of Oscar" starts Feb. 1.

Force Majeure. I give it a pretty dang good. Very nice to look at, took on a interesting subject and, for the most part, the actors pulled off some complex emotions.
