Saw Rob the Mob last night, a flick based on a true tale of two knuckleheads who decided to rob mafia social clubs in the early 1990s. Pretty entertaining, and some of the usual suspects from other mob-related shows appear.

Kingsman: The Secret Service - this was a huge surprise. I expected to hate this based on the trailer, but the reviews were very positive so I thought why not. Probably the best fight sequences I've ever seen in an action movie. Silly, but really entertaining.

I found 2 on netflix last night
Nebraska Bruce Dern was nominated for an academy award in this beautiful movie. The black and white filing adds a simplicity and the storyline gains momentum and characters develop. Really quite touching and ends perfectly. The mother is well acted too
In Another World - a little light but still has some clever lines. The character (though not too complex) are quite believable and it just needed one more person to oversee it. - but still worth watching

Watched Selma tonight.
As a movie it was a bit too slow after a great set up at the beginning, it just meandered. No real standout performances. However, it really pissed me off that we still struggle with this kind of bigotry 50 years later. It's freaking shameful.
Great song at the end, Glory. Worked for me last night on the Oscar telecast and even moreso tonight after the film.
Now I have to find Still Alice to watch Moores performance.
Should be great if my friends are to be trusted..........If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

Watched Whiplash last night and man, what an intense and satisfying movie. It moved ahead of Boyhood at #2 for best movies I saw from last year (Birdman's still #1).
Got to see a bunch of movies on my flights to and from Europe last week also:
Wish I Was Here - there was some of Zach Braff's charm, but the story was pretty trite and it was just kinda boring
Neighbors - solid comedy with a few laughs but nothing special
The Equalizer - solid action movie with some cool scenes but nothing special
The Hundred-Foot Journey - this one I did enjoy a bit; an Indian family sets up a restaurant in France across from a hoity toity place run by Helen Mirren which annoys her at first (those loud and garish foreigners!) although it turns out one of the Indian dudes is an awesome cook. A little sappy but still entertaining.
A Most Wanted Man - spy "thriller" (wasn't all that thrilling) starring Philip Seymour Hoffman based on a John Le Carre novel (same guy who did Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy which I turned off halfway through out of boredom). The acting's pretty good and there are some interesting ideas, but the payoff wasn't very satisfying.
Fury - definitely the best of the bunch, loved the action and the evolution of the young soldier being led by Brad Pitt; great war movie

A Most Wanted Man - not a great movie, but a great lead performance ... and I found the central message quite interesting. But as a movie, it had so many little flaws.
Fury - I thought was great until the end ... which was a bit stupid, and not in keeping with the rest of the movie. The ending kinda spoiled it for me.

Predestination was pretty damned good.
