I recently watch whiplash on netflix and its IMHO a masterpiece! Teller and Simmons are both doing an amazing job!
I'll double down on this one, absolutely love the movie and rewatch the ending scene 2 3 times a week,
The Hundred Foot Journey
No special effects, fight scenes, or car chases - occasionally funny, beautifully acted by alll. It is an intelligent movie which doesn't stoop to bizarre plot surprises. It is worth watching just to see Helen Mirren in action or just for the marvelous, evocative sound track.

The Big Short.
The majority of folks are a bunch of blind greedy idiots and only a small few can see the shit storm coming and makes a killing. Even after the fact the small few still don't get any respect and continued to be ignored and laughed at while the idiots still running the shit show continue to do the same shit in different form.
After watching this flick you just want to give up on humanity. LOL.

Great movie. Reminded me a bit of "All the President's Men". Stars Mark Ruffalo, Liev Schreiber, Michael Keaton, Rachel McAdams and a cast of others in a true story about how a Boston newspaper exposed the local catholic church bishop's cover-up of local priests molesting and raping children. It begins with the investigation of one priest, then they discover that there were many more. Powerful stuff. It's because of stuff like that i've rejected the catholic church and organized religion. Must-see movie! :thumb:

The Martian
I really enjoyed this movie with Matt Damon, Jessica Chastain, Kate Mara, Jeff Daniels and some other very good actors. Ridley Scott once again directs an excellent space film. The movie has a very imaginative plot, down to even smaller detailers like matching almost every iconic pop song from the 1970s to a specific scene in the movie (to which each song provides corresponding background for that scene). This movie is the biggest plug for the NASA space program of any I have ever seen.
Not sure about all the science demonstrated in the movie, but the movie genre is science fiction, not science fact. Still, I wonder how long anyone can survive eating just potatoes and nothing else.
Some of those iconic 1970s songs featured in the movie are:
Don't Leave Me This Way, Thelma Houston, 1977- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLzbKm56dLI
Rock The Boat- Hues Corporation, 1974 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfBwsG8ubFw
Waterloo, Abba, 1974 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sj_9CiNkkn4

Mad Max Fury Road
Chercherfemmes told me he thought this picture should have won the Academy Award but I wasn't so impressed with it. To me all the action in the film (which was substantial) had a video-gamish quality to it. I felt the movie was formulaic and the character of Immortan sounded exactly like Darth Vader. Other of the characters resembled characters from the Lord of the Rings movies. The movie provides familiar big budget razzle and dazzle side effects and solid acting and a good dosage of nonstop incredulous action scenes for those who need their action fix. But as a whole I was kind of disappointed in the film.

I agree about what was said of mad max fury road, it was not anything like the originals, maybe thunderdome wasnt great but it still surpassed this one and what was with the guy playing the guitar? That was a little much, i watched it twice just to see if it would be better the second time, it wasnt, it just showed me parts i missed the first time and was not any better.
As for a more recent film but not so recent was Maze Runner Scorch Trials, well to tell you the truth, i found this one better then the first one, i actually watched it 3 times already and found some nice bloopers in this one, i had to rewind a few times to see if my eyes were playing tricks on me, i like to look for bloopers, it just makes it more interesting, every movie has them, i think they leave them in just for fun.

I watched Point Break the remake last night, it was ok, i would give more credit to the original, Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze were better at the roles and i liked the story line better in the original... The action scenes were better in the remake cause they went all out with the motor bike jumping onto small rock cliffs 200 feet in the air and the snow boarding and all, but it lacked something in the story.

Sat through 4 and half hours of Hunger games mocking jay, part 1 and 2 last night with a brief 1 hour break in between, i started to watch part 2 first but got lost in the first 5 minutes, so i re-watched part 1 and then it made more sense. I liked all of the hunger games movies, but i have to say the first one was the best, for me at least. The first two were actually about hunger games and the last two more of a war situation. Is there a 5th movie in the works or is it over now?

They're based on a trilogy of novels so the main story is over but they made enough money that there are talks of doing spin-offs and such, it's super preliminary at this point though.
Deadpool. Beyond excellent, from the first frame of the movie (during the credits), to the last (post credits).
