Rudderless.

Recommended by the local morning radio jock.  Excellent.

I suggest watching it blind, but if you don't trust me, here's a review that isn't too spoilery.

Lucy.

Science was a bit shaky (okay, completely full of anything resembling actual science, plus a bunch of false old-wives tales), but it was enjoyable in a typically Luc Besson way.

Plus Scarlett is nice to look at.

I can't bring myself to watch it.  The fact they got Morgan Freeman to state the 10% of your brain bullshit just pisses me off too much.

Great film, one of my favourites of last year, don't care about the science being wrong, it's science fiction not a documentary.

It would have been one thing to hear that while actually watching the movie, maybe a good cringe and move on. But the fact they used that line in both the long and culled version of the commercials up to and during it's run irked the crap out of me too.

Deadpool.

Not a big fan of comicbook superhero movies but this was very well done. 

The last movie I watched was Interstellar.  Really enjoyed it and thought it was  very well done.

I didn't see it in the theatre.  Watched it at home a few weeks ago.

Free State of Jones

Anomalisa. Just weird enough for me.

Independence Day: Regurgitation.

You know how people thought that Star Wars copied the original too much?
I didn't think so and that you had to point out the similarities to really notice them.

ID:R had too many repeats of the first.

Did The Fly hack a virus on his MacBook to fuck up the Aliens again?

If not, I'm ok with it.

We've come a long way since then. This time they let /b/ take over.

Just watched it, didn't suck as much as I expected. Watchable.

No but in some ways that might have been better.
It's more like a new plot but let's stick in the send a radio message to everyone around the World scene, it doesn't fit this movie but what the heck let's include it any wa.  And let's have Alex Reiger chewed out for diving too slow but this time it will be a car load of kids doing it.

I think a big part of my problem was that based on the trailers I thought they would do a great job and make a movie better than the original.
The movie could have been great if they had made more effort on the script and tried less to have "tributes" to the original.  Or at least had them fit the movie better.

And President Whitmore knew they were coming back ala Picard knew the Borg were back because he had been Locutus.

I will probably watch it again sometime, if for no other reason that to check to see if the one scene was quoting lyrics from Dr. Hook's If Not You.

Just watched American Beauty for the first time, I seem to have kept avoiding it for some reason. Really great film, surprised me actually.

there is a movie on Netflix called phoenix that is really good.  sort of a Hitchcockian historical noire.

Oh yeah, it's completely lacking in real science.  If you can suspend your disbelief on that bit, it was fun.

That was the whole premise though - there's no cringing and moving on.  You just have to accept that they're totally wrong.  Kind of like watching a kids movie with cavemen riding on dinosaurs .

Rudderless was excellent, I watched it a few years ago soon after starting guitar seriously; some performances in that movie are fantastic.

Another vote for Deadpool - that is a movie I will buy, a rarity nowadays, it had so many great character scenes filled with expletive irreverence. Counter-culture for itself.

In the last two weeks I've watched:

Batman v. Superman - fully expected this to suck, terribly, and aside from a few scenes mostly involving Lois Lane, it was pretty good. One of the better DC efforts for sure. It needed an editor maybe.

The Boss - not worth a theatre ticket - Melissa McCarthy can be hilarious especially ad lib, but this had only two scenes where I laughed out loud, it might be worth it on Netflix.

The Martian - really liked the science in this movie up til the last 10 minutes, preferred the book, but the movie sufficiently captured the love letter to engineering, pioneering survival, and creative problem-solving.  For such a long movie it could have had more character development.

Her - surprisingly poignant take on AI, and emergent properties from design. The Moon Song, though done very well should have had a guitar not a uke. 

There's a growing list of movies that I'm appreciating Scarlett Johannsen's acting prowess too. And in Her, you only get her voice.

Among Kevin spaceys best I think.

It was ok

Under the skin is awesome
