    Saw Busty Cops 5 this morning on Cinemax. Not as good of a story as Busty Cops 4 though

    Have you seen Shaun of the Dead and The World's End? With Hot Fuzz they kind of form a trilogy even though they aren't the same characters. They all star Simon Pegg and Nick Frost and are directed by Edgar Wright. Pretty much all of the movies Simon Pegg is in are funny though.

    A girl like her on netflix.

    It's a must watch. About high school bullying. It's emotional, it's really tough to watch, but SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO worth it.

    I really liked it too, which surprised me because Michael Bay directed it. Pearl Harbor was hot garbage.

    Even more surprising to me was how Strasinski (dude from The Office..spelling???) was in it and actually worked in the part. It was beautifully filmed and sounded amazing as well, that helps. Tonight we watched The Visit by M Shamalamamadingdong and it was sort of predictable and seemed very low budget yet was somehow amazingly entertaining. It didn't hurt that I wanted the kids in it to die the entire time, especially the boy. It wasn't very scary but more hilarious in a Child's Play kind of way.

    I meant shoot their stuff all over the back of the theater seats. Those nerds will go insane for that mess.

    Yeah Jim was pretty great. And he was reunited with Roy from The Office as well! I enjoyed The Visit too. Just really entertaining.

    Neighbors 2 had a few funny moments, but it's definitely a "rental"

    My wife, who never knew what warcraft even was, was on the edge of her seat the entire time. She thoroughly enjoyed it.

    I thought it was surprisingly good(well, better than expected anyway). Think it definitely would be better in the theatre than at home. Acting wasnt great and cgi type stuff was in basically every scene, but i actually enjoyed it. Was an ok movie.

    Id probably give it a 6/10

    Conjuring 2 freaked me the fuck out, even more than the first movie.

    I think I'd give it 7.5/10. I thoroughly enjoyed it all the way through. I thought the Orcs were amazing, but the humans were just meh. The acting wasn't great but I really don't think it was that bad either. A lot of the poor reviews have mentioned bad acting, and I honestly think a small part of it is that they aren't speaking with British accents. People have become accustomed to British accents in fantasy and medieval movies so much that it just seems off when they have more American accents. Anyways, I think the movie probably could have been better if they gave it another 30 minutes. I'm hoping for a director's cut and I also hope it makes enough money to get a sequel.
