The Two Faces of January
Viggo Mortensen, Oscar Isaac, Kirsten Dunst. Good movie. Unpredictable. Feels like The Talented Mr. Ripley. Turns out, this movie was based on a novel by Patricia Highsmith, the author of The Talented Mr. Ripley.

Me & Earl & the Dying Girl.
Caught a screening of this at the SF Film Fest last night - incredibly hilarious and moving. The last 10-15 minutes is absolutely luminous. Out June 12 per the Director.

Avengers: pretty much like the others. Lots of action, funny, nasty villain, well built men.

A Most Violent Year
Good movie. Not over-the-top shoot 'em up blood-galore gangster movie. I didn't like the casting of Jessica Chastain who is normally good. Oscar Isaac is everywhere these days -- Inside Llewyn Davis, The Two Faces of January, A Most Violent Year, and also Star Wars VII.

A History of Violence
Good film. Viggo Mortensen, Maria Bello. My second time watching it. The first time was in 2006. Not as good as the first time, unlike Eastern Promises (another Viggo Mortensen film), which was better the second time.

Just saw "Unbroken" Angelina Jolie directed about a American POW in Japan. He was Olympic runner. Very powerful, what a human can endure and still keep going. I thought Angelina did a fabulous job.

Mad Max: Fury Road is outstanding, and in some ways surpasses The Road Warrior - and this is coming from a Mad Max fanboy from way back in the day.

Ok-- Rewatched "Blade Runner" with Harrison Ford and Ripley Scott directed. Still relevant and still awesome. Do not watch director's cut as it has no narration by Harrison Ford which I think is needed. Philip Dick author, "Do androids dream of electric sheep" renamed Blade Runner also wrote Minority Report, Paycheck, Adjustment Bureau, Total Recall, etc.

The narration completely hamstrings the movie.

The Imitation Game
It's an OK film but I think I've had my fill of the Enigma. First, there was the Kate Winslet film Enigma and then recently, a British TV show called The Bletchley Circle, although the latter wasn't about breaking the Nazi Enigma machine.

Mr. Turner
What a bizarre film. I liked it even thought it doesn't follow any conventional story structure. At times, I said to my wife, "So what is this film going to be about? I mean it has to be about something." A lot of strange characters and strangely behaving characters. Odd dialogue. Incredible cinematography. I think they purposely composed each shot as if it was a master painting on canvas. It's not for everyone. I think I've seen so many films and TV shows that only something as unconventional as this seems to please me -- because it's so different.

Pitch Perfect 2
Not as funny as the 1st one, but still pretty funny.
