Well documentary actually.

Citizenfour.

Fantastic documentary about Edward Snowden which mainly captures the story as it unfolds right in front of the camera.

The Prototype wrote:I watched Fury yesterday with Brad Pitt and Shia LaBeouf, it was very interesting to see also pretty sad in the end I guess all war movies have their sadness attached. It's about a tank crews final days of World War II in Europe. Director David Ayer was influenced by the service of veterans in his family and by reading books, such as Belton Y. Cooper's Death Traps which was apparently about the American Armored warfare in WW2.

Ayer wanted to make the movie as more realistic than most of the World War II Dramas out there, I thought it was quite good actually.
I watch Fury last week and I thought is was very good.

How do people watch so many movies? :? I'm lucky to watch one a fortnight.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

What's the point of having a life when you have cinema?

If you have your own life you don't need to continually live someone else's vicariously.

These Final Hours

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/these_final_hours/

Australian Film set during the end of the world. A meteor has hit Earth and the resulting firestorm is wiping us all out. A Perth man is set to spend his last day on Earth at the party to end all parties, getting so $@&^# up he doesn't see the end coming.

A beautiful tale of redemption and reflection. Not your average disaster movie, but a moving, character based film. I don't want to give away any more than I already have. Watch this movie.

Had a look at Xmen, days of future past.

Not a bad flick, bit of back to the future meets terminator, but the thing that got my head spinning was the concept of astral time travel, projecting your consciousness into the past into yourself.

Sign me up for some of that.
