Finally watched Grand Budapest Hotel last night, that I recorded in March!
Really enjoyed it, nothing like I expected, quite odd but amusing/enjoyable at the same time.

Kumiko The Treasure Hunter. Had its moments but all in all fairly forgettable.

The Visitor (1979). I thoroughly enjoyed this completely mental movie. More a David special than my usual fare though.

"John Huston stars as an intergalactic warrior who joins a cosmic Christ figure in battle against a demonic 8-year-old girl, and her pet hawk, while the fate of the universe hangs in the balance. Multi-dimensional warfare, pre-adolescent profanity and brutal avian attacks combine to transport the viewer to a state unlike anything they've experienced... somewhere between Hell and the darkest reaches of outer space. "

Ha. Not sure that's quite a 'David special', but certainly sounds pretty wacky and entertaining. :)

Antman. Very (genuinely) funny.

Even funnier was overhearing a couple of women behind us expressing concern about the unexplained motive of the "baddy".

I mean, really, there's a guy who can get bigger and smaller at the drop of a hat, get ants to do his bidding and fly into battle on an ant called "Antony" and we're concerned about character development?

I should also mention that that our "local" cinema is Melbourne Central and they seem to be screening at least some of the Melbourne International Film Festival - we almost turned right at the top of the escalator but realised our error just before we were ushered into a screening of a soviet-era dramatization of Man's Struggle to Increase the Tractor Drive-shaft Production Quota.

Memo to self: don't make "Ant-idote" jokes.

Lol. In all seriousness, you should check out the music doco section in the program, if you haven't already. Usually a few things of interest there.
