The Theory of Everything is an amazing movie if you think of it as a Zucker brothers satire of every movie ever described as "a triumph of the human spirit".

That is exactly what I was expecting from the trailer.

Finally saw American Sniper tonight and this is my favorite movie of the year. Who the hell said this was boring?

BTW - NEVER EVER EVER EVER again will I go to an IMAX movie. We almost left during the previews, the sound was so freaking loud I couldn't take it. I went to the bathroom and stuffed toilet paper into my ears as ear plugs the entire movie. The only thing louder I can remember is an auto race and watching the Blue Angels at an air show. That's just ridiculous.

The Social Network is on regular TV right now and I got sucked in. Forgot how much I liked this movie.

I thought Gone Girl was terrible. Ben afflack sucked as usual. The wife I guess was trying to play an intelligent cold emotionless [expletive] and as a result I thought felt kind do of lifeless. There were a lot of twists and turns but none completely unreasonable. Finally the ending was just garbage.

I thought it was better than the book. Author was involved in the movie. The high points of the book were hit upon in the movie- such as the couple's relationship was based on a prolonged role-playing. Affleck was well cast for the role IMO. Whatshername was almost unrecognizable as Boney. Rosamund Pike -that creepy voice was perfect. She would have been a good actress for work with Hitchcock.

Not a fan of the ending either. The scene with Doogie Howser getting offed was too graphic for my taste. Overall, a thumbs up.

Just saw it tonight. I thought the ending was the best one possible. If he exposes her and she goes down like a super villain that's kind of forgettable, and her killing him really makes no sense. He's arguably in a worse situation at the end than he was at the beginning. I like that you really have no idea what the wife was like before since the only glimpses we had of their past turned out to be half-true diary entries.

I watched Birdman tonight and loved it.

I read the wikipedia description of Birdman and don't feel I need to see it. I do like Raymond Carver stories.

the cinematographer from Gravity did it. It felt like being on a roller coaster.

Maybe I should see it.

In wikipedia articles about movies, they tell the story in the section called "plot." They should tell the story in the section called "story" and in the plot section they should tell if the plot is a resurrection, quest, monster, rags to riches, etc.
