Out of Africa

Tells the story of Karen Blixen, a Danish baroness/plantation owner, who in the first half of the 20th-century incolonial Kenya has a passionate love affair with a free-spirited big-game hunter.

Locke.

Tom Hardy is in the title role as a man who is on a single man road trip to take responsibility for a baby resulting from a one night stand with a woman he had barely known, even though this choice threatens to destroy both his family and professional life. Very good drama.

I once made a list of all the Sherlock Holmes films I've watched in my obsession with the character. Out of about 200 films, I counted about 75. Of all of those, I would put The Great Mouse Detective in the Top 5. Anyone who's a fan of the BBC's Sherlock should check it out if they haven't already, since they're more than a little similar. I loved it the first time I saw it years ago and I loved it again revisiting it on Blu-ray earlier this evening.

"The Other Guys" (2010)
no comment

The other night, I watched From Russia With Love, a Bond movie from the Sean Connery series.

"Spiderman" (2002)
7/10
I think the second one is my favorite comic book film, but i haven't seen it in a few years.

Yesterday, I watched the movie Mama after my sister rented a copy from the neighborhood library. Overall, it wasn't that scary nor was it boring, it had the right amount of tension to keep it from being an absolute bore.

On the DVD, the original short was in Spanish and the short was just as scary as the movie.

Good Morning, Vietnam

The Possession Of Michael King.

Found footage horror film in which the title character is a grieving widower who is making a documentary to debunk notions of the supernatural and an afterlife, after he blames his wife's death on a psychic who had convinced her not to take a trip to Europe, leading to her death. But in trying to debunk black magic and demon possession, Michael King comes to realizes he has accidentally welcomed something unexplainable and terrible into his life that threatens his family, and his very life and sanity. Actually, not a bad movie.

RV (2006)

It's a pretty decent comedy starring Robin Williams. I hadn't seen it in a while.

Apollo 13

The Amazing Spiderman II.

I saw this already in the theater, but I still liked it on DVD.

Sharknado

A hurricane hits L.A. carrying sharks and throwing them everywhere.
