Never seen Eddie And The Cruisers before so I decided to watch it since it was on AMC.  Great soundtrack.

John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band. I can remember my mom listening to that soundtrack a thousand times while I was growing up. 

[Count Orlok]

Moonrise Kingdom. Very good little movie.

[cysomeawfulpitcher]

The Impossible

 

Naomi Watts is a great actress.

[hk47]

Finished watching Entourage.  Great show.  Ari Gold is one of the greatest characters ever.

[cysomeawfulpitcher]

Hyde Park On Hudson

 

Textbook example of a tame R rated movie.  Bill Murray is awesome as usual.

[Torridd]

Saw The Ides of March. Pretty good. Great cast and didn't realize Clooney also directed it.

[Brandon]

I really likes Ides of March. Great film.

[2112]

When to the theatre and saw Star Trek 2. The need to come up with new material for the new actors.

Looper   9/10

 

Could have done without them changing JGL's face, but whatev.

It's funny. I really disliked Looper.

[hk47]

It's funny. I really disliked Looper.

 

For what reasons?

[Torridd]

For what reasons?

1. Did not like Levitt in this. 2. For an action movie, there were too many slow parts. 3. It was pretty confusing re time travel and I've seen a lot of time travel movies.

[Sam Sanchez]

Confusing? I was surprised how straight forward they made it especially since there were rumors that Shane Carruth was involved with the movie, which ended up being false but I still expected it to be a little more complicated as a result.

 

It's definitely no Primer, or even a movie like Timecrimes

[katie]

I'm pretty sure they narrated exactly how time travel worked (in this movie) at the beginning of the movie.

[James]

Copper on BBC America. I had the first season sitiing on the DVR and finally had time to catch up in time for the beginning of the second season. Of course being set in the five point neighborhood of NYC during the Civil War intrigued me as a historian. Very good show that probably would be pretty popular if on HBO or something.

 

Magic City is okay, not great.  

[Ray McKigney]

Little known fact: Looper was based on this classic sci-fi adventure.

Rewatching 5th season of Breaking Bad. Best show on TV and I'm a Walking Dead fan.

Is that the one with Dr. Tim Whatley from Seinfeld?

[Brandon]

Like most, just finished the newest season of Mad Men on Sunday. The show as a whole ranks in the top 3/4 of this "Golden TV Era" we are in (Wire, Sopranos, Breaking Bad). Just brilliant.

 

Just finished Hell on Whells. Show's ok. Kind of falls in line with that second tier of shows like Sons of Anarchy where it's nothing mind blowing, but still good tv to watch.

 

Catching up with Magic City now. It's been so long since season 1 ended that I forgot some of the players. I personally really like it because of the era and theme, but realistically put it in that second tier of shows as well.

 

Once I catch of with Magic City I want to shoot for another new one I missed out on. I'm thinking Deadwood, Boss, or The Shield. At some point I'm going to catch up with Boardwalk Empire and also start Game of Thrones.

Two great choices. A notch below the Sopranos, but still great

[Torridd]

Is that the one with Dr. Tim Whatley from Seinfeld?

That's correct. That's Bryan Cranston. Totally different character.

[ScottT]

"Aerial America" on Smithsonian HD.  I need to get out of town, fly lowly and slowly, and land where there are no airports.  It is like Soarin' Over California at Disneyland... with information instead of music.

Despicable Me 2.  Went with my daughter yesterday, she loved it.  7/10.  Almost as good as the first one.

[Brandon]

Started watching Game of Thrones. Two episodes in, pretty interesting for a fantasy type flick. There are so many various characters, but they do a good job of not confusing the hell out of a new viewer. I can tell by the pace of the show that it is going to be worth the hype.

Saw it this afternoon. The minions were hilarious.

Oh, and I walked out desperately wanting some guacamole.
