On TV: The Hunger Games - only because I needed background noise for writing / making dinner and it happened to be on. I have the film in my collection, so TV version was just a "something on TV" thing.
In Theater: The Avengers: Age of Ultron. - Woot!
In which I attempt to be a writer.Everyone's going about saying Avengers: Age of Ultron...and so did I.
Jessabelle. One of those spur-of-the-moment redbox choices brought on by a cool-looking poster
◊. There's a fair amount of cliches here, mainly revolving around a Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl and Hollywood Voodoo. However, Sarah Snook has a really good performance as the lead character, and the twist is sort of interesting because it makes the antagonist something of an Anti-Villain, which is pretty rare in horror. The main character, Jessie, was adopted by her father to cover up the fact that his wife gave birth out of wedlock and he killed the child: The ghost that's been haunting Jessie is that child, and all she wants is the chance at life she never had... Though she is willing to kill someone innocent to get it.

You can add me to the list of people who saw Avengers Age Of Ultron.
Be With You. This was referenced in Mawaru-Penguindrum, so I decided to watch it. Start crying five minutes in. Made the mistake of reading the trope page twenty minutes in. Cried even harder rest of the film.
I watched The Station Agent starring Peter Dinklage. It was the first thing I've seen him in outside of Game of Thrones. I was surprised to find out he's an American from New Jersey. To me his voice always sounds like he has a British accent even in a movie set in New Jersey.
"If everybody is thinking alike, somebody isn't thinking"- George S. PattonI just watched Age of Ultron. I went in with rather low expectations, and the film entirely failed to meet them. The villain was completely non-threatening, there was very little in the way of a storyline, the dialogue was somewhere between bad and atrocious, and the action scenes varied from barely passable to sleep-inducing. The best part was the part where it was over. I think I'm done with the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Bigotry will NEVER be welcome on TV Tropes.The Sixth Sense for the first time.
It was really good, but I really wish I hadn't known the twist beforehand.
what do you mean I didn't win, I ate more wet t-shirts than anyone elseHouse Bound, which I am now obliged to make a work page for. 2014 kiwi horror / comedy. Very very good. It made real use of the comedy / horror alternation to make each part better. The mystery was spun nicely, with a couple of well placed red herrings.
5 stars. Go netflix or something.
You must agree, my plan is sheer elegance in its simplicity! My TumblrThe Matrix, on IFC. I'll never forget that movie as long as I live, as my first viewing of it marks the start of my love for hammy villains. And my first visit to TV Tropes.
A lie a day keeps the truth at bay.Hot Pursuit. It was a lot of fun to watch, and just the pick-me-up I needed after work yesterday. :)
Come on! Let's bless them all until we get fershnickered!Louis C.K. - "Hilarious". This was pretty funny. I might start watching stand up specials before bed more often because 1) I happen to have a bunch of them on my netflix already, and 2) unlike with watching movies, you can get distracted by facebook notifications on your phone and still follow what's going on.
Most of the 1999 version of "The Mummy". Still holds up to this day. Even though the version shown was the "cut to ribbons by censorship early evening ITV 2" thingy.
Return Of The Dragon one of the only films where Bruce plays a comedy character, and fights Chuck Norris.
Treats death with more respect then many films do, it's a big deal here. As was it during Chinese Connection.

Tonight I watched Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. I definitely liked this one. It was as excellent as the TV show it came from. :)
And Batman's old girlfriend was hot.
Mad Max - the original one, having seen Fury Road and only knowing things about the others through Pop-Cultural Osmosis. There's the Early-Installment Weirdness of the setting being 20 Minutes into the Future and therefor being not so much post-apocalyptic as mid-apocalyptic, but that kind of made it feel more unique than it might have otherwise. And it definitely looks and feels low-budget, but that kind of adds to the whole grimy, society-on-the-verge-of-collapse thing.
The Wicker Man and The Last Unicorn, one after the other. in tribute to Christopher Lee of course.

My mom and I watched Spirited Away tonight. It's still as good as I remember, and she liked it too. She was the one who introduced me to the works of Hayao Miyazaki in the first place. :)
Come on! Let's bless them all until we get fershnickered!
