Pretty excited about this.

I can't remember the last time I saw one of those that was any good.

Most love stories these days are the worst kinds of what are usually referred to as "chick flicks".

I thought "Her" was so non formulaic in its execution, that it amazed me. Very intelligent and just the right amount of futuristic.
Did you see "Enough Said"? Excellent middle-age romance...James Gandolfini's last or next-to in a very atypical role for him...Highly recommended.

For Sopranos fans, Gandolfini & Turturro.

'His final film performance was in The Drop, a crime drama in which he co-starred with Tom Hardy and Noomi Rapace. Released September 12, 2014, the film was met with positive reviews for Gandolfini's performance.[22]'

loved Gandolfini.....was great in Ianucci's 'in the loop' feature spinoff from 'in the thick of it'

Caught "Turbo Kid" last night, strange and superb film. Strong similarities in tone with that recent jam "Kung Fury," but sweeter, gorier, and more ambitious. I saw a lot of hype about how good it looked for a low budget film, but my fuck, it didn't look remotely low-budget at all. The seams between high-quality cheap cameras and high-quality cheap CGI are really approaching invisibility, this is probably a great time to be in film.

You know, aside from the fact nobody makes any money.

Going to check out a bevy of horror films tonight but I don't think any of them are Of A Certain Quality, going in.

It is a lot easier to fool people than show them how they have been fooled.

I just wish it had ended in the basement, before all the eulogies which made me think "Is he dead then?"

& I kind of prefer it when outstanding films get overlooked. 8)

Just so that it garners more attention for the issues it deals with...
