Edge of Tomorrow - 9/10 - I loved this movie. Loved the premise, the action, the sci-fi, the Tom Cruise. but I'm nerdy like that. Particularly liked the aliens. I recommend for sure.
watched Blended & American Hustle this week
Blended was bleh. Worse than "Just go with It", wife liked it though.
I enjoyed American Hustle, although it was a bit weird.
Whole month of October free movies at Redbox on Thursdays. gonna be a good month for movies

Don't mistake opinion for fact.
Just watched Gone Girl yesterday... better than I expected. Pretty twisted and leaves you with that strange "wtf was that?" feeling, but original and entertaining.
Wife & I might go catch this in the theaters one of next two weekends.
We both read the book, it was really good.
She loved the end.
I liked the end, but thought it could've been better.
I had heard that the movie might change the end... since there was some (like me) that thought the end was lacking.
(sounds like end was a bit lacking - I'm wondering if they stayed with the original book ending)
Couple new ones for me as well:
Transformers extinction or whatever, 3/10, pretty gawdawful
Chef - 8/10 surprisingly good movie, and has a real feel for what that industry is probably like

Yup... that sounds like the book.
Women seem OK with that ending.
Men (me) do not.
The book is written by a woman, so remember that it's just from the "other" perspective.
(I mean... could you really see yourself doing same thing?... nuh-unh... speaking as if I know the ending, via book)
Finally got around to watching Silver Linings Playbook. Very good movie- greatly enjoyed it.
3.5 stars
9/10
And I felt the same way about Catherine in Farewell to Arms. I understand the foreshadowing and the title and all that but it still pissed me off.

I would give transformers a 5/10 for an actual movie, but because it’s a transformers movie and it’s only made for action and special effects, it bumps it up to a 7.5/10 for me.
Chef was a great “easy to watch” movie. I saw it on my flight back from paris and it was a great movie to watch then. I fell asleep for a bit and didn’t miss much of the plot line actually. But it did show how it must be for a chef to battle the restaurant manager for creative freedom, and what it does to one’s creativity.

Didn't Chris Nolan also make Memento? That's such a fantastic movie!
GO WINGS!
You've never seen the Dark Night?
I am definitely not a superhero movie guy and I think that comic books are pretty lame overall, but the Dark Knight was an amazing movie. Heath Ledger was fantastic as was the directing. It has a very different feel than the other Batman movies. It's in my top 5 movie list of all time. Expect to be bored and then watch it.
