I enjoyed it even though it had a typical hollywood ending. It will probably earn an oscar or two.

I watched Whiplash t'other night. It was really enjoyable as Orema said. Not earth shattering but a decent movie. Another recommend for it from me.

I had missed this preview earlier, it looks like something I will like. Sadly, I can't get it on Netflix yet so it's in the 'saved' queue. Hmm.

Garavito: The World’s Worst Serial Killer

20th centuries most prolific serial killer is largely unknown throughout the world, though he brutally murdered at least 140 children, posing as a priest or teacher he lured poor young boys away from their families, raped them and murdered them. Committing his crimes in various regions of Columbia South America in the 1990's he managed to elude authorities for nine long years.

VERY SAD and sickening

This made me think of the movie Perfume (though Perfume is not based on a true story and neither is it documentary). I started watching Perfume but had to stop. I've watched some films on serial killers (Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Silence of the Lambs, some mess on Jeffrey Dahmer, and of course Psycho), but I just can't do it anymore. Especially when the victims are children. Thank goodness they caught his ass.

Thanks for the heads-up on this. Will avoid it

I should have followed my gut. My normal line is 20 minutes and I had already gone over. It was like a bad investment you just watch keep sinking.

Maybe I just needed a reminder.

I've got to learn how to sling things around to different devices, especially since I'm considering the projector option. Thanks for the resource!

I know there has been lots of buzz about this flick, but IMHO huge waste of time!

First, the movie never ends up anywhere. Second, maybe I should of taken a cue by the title Boyhood! There is also a daughter in the movie, but not as much focus is shown on her life as the sons. Third, outside of showing how these young kids age, I'm not sure what Linklater was trying to do!

Took the family to see The Imitation Game and 3 outa 4 of us cried before the end. What a powerful and well produced story. I know my daughter just wanted to see her crush Benedict, and I was skeptical, but he knocked it outa the park. Great performances all round.

Appropriate Behavior

Hirin is struggling to become an ideal Persian daughter, politically correct bisexual and hip young Brooklynite but fails miserably in her attempt at all identities. Being without a cliché to hold onto can be a lonely experience.

Read a good review about the movie, previews looked good too, but well just didn't do much for me at least. Check it out and see what you think
