I'm on a bit of a Hitler kick right now. Just watched Triumph of the Will for the first time, and now checking out Hitler: A Film from Germany, which is possibly one of the best things I've ever seen. Here's Susan Sontag's analysis of the film:

Re-visiting the original Star Wars trilogy before seeing the new one.
Deliberately haven't seen it in the first couple o weeks to avoid packed cinemas.

We've done A New Hope and bits and pieces of The Empire Strikes Back, so far.

King monkey, any one with kids but especially boys! They and you will love Tomorrowland! Especially if you've been to the Epcot (experimental prototype community of tomorrow!) centre in Florida! Bits of that in it all through the movie if you look!

Just a fun movie with a message, and an epic speech which rings so true (Meanwhile, your Earth was crumbling all around you. You've got simultaneous epidemics of obesity and starvation, explain that one) by the guy that plays "house", just an awesome rant!

Robots get dismantled but not much blood and gore! I'd say from 6 or 7 up would be fine!

This week I've watched;

Carol - acting is superb but I found the storyline a bit slow and dull.
Joy - Easy to watch, wasn't bad but didn't really land the big punch I was expecting.
Room - So, so good. Hard to watch at times due to the subject matter but Brie Larson and the kid are awesome.
Spotlight - Highly recommend. True story based on a Chicago newspapers investigation into the Catholic Church's cover up of bad priests.
Concussion - Highly recommend again. Another true story based on the effects of multiple concussions in the NFL.
Steve Jobs - Ugh. Just terrible. As much as I'm obsessed with Fassbender he wasn't enough to carry this.

The Earth Is a Sinful Song. Finnish film from the '70s with a high body count. Very Christmassy; lots of snow and reindeers - being stabbed and bled to death, that is. :cry:

I watched Hangover 2 again last night (I must have seen them all dozens of times) still makes me laugh.
