Watched a very trippy Japanese movie off of TCM called "The Face of Another", about a guy who gets his face blasted off in an accident, then gets a latex mask face, which kind of drives him insane. Excellent.

Also had a topless scene, which surprised me, as the film was made in 1966.

Sounds superficially akin to Seconds, which came out the same year.

Never seen Seconds, but as I've been trawling the net today for reviews of "The Face of Another", that film is mentioned in connection with this one in several places.

New trailer for "In the Heart of the Sea", starring Interchangeable Marvel Superhero #8. The AV Club is not impressed. I read the Philbrick book, and I really hope this movie is good.

I saw Black Mass last night. It has some issues, but they're not what you think. Namely, Depp was as good as he's been in a long time in that movie (white walker contacts in his eyes and clumsy Boston accent notwithstanding). My problem is with how they wrote Joel Edgerton's character.

It's still a pretty solid movie, especially if you dig the organized crime genre, with a few scenes in particular as highlights.

Finally saw Guardians of the Galaxy and Jupiter Ascending.

Guardians was funny and pretty much what I expected from a comic book movie. Entertaining.

The beginning of Jupiter Ascending was awful but it got better as it went on. Definitely a flawed movie but worth more than zero stars.

Love and Mercy was really really good and also slightly depressing. All the performances are great.

Paul Giamatti plays such a good hatable villain in everything he does.

Highly recommend, though MrSaigon might not enjoy it since Atticus Ross did the score haha.

I need to read more into Brian Wilson's story because i never realized that he wasn't just depressed and laying in bed for 2 years.
