As a stand alone film, it is not bad, but I don't think it comes close to the original

Boyhood. 10/10

Replaces the Descendants as the most beautiful film I have ever saw.

Not the best film ever. But really one of the greatest concepts. And over of the best made.

I loved how they had so much random stuff that never went anywhere like the bullies in the toilet.

Also Ethan Hawke stole every scene he was in.

The thing I loved about it was that it was so real. The bullies in the toilet thing was straight out of my childhood. One of my favorite Richard Linklater movies.

Maze Runner 8/10

Shockingly good movie about a young man who wakes up in a lush landscape surrounded on all sides by continuously shifting maze riddled with half robotic - half beast creatures and those who live there (all boys) have a set system of governing themselves which leads to some intrigue as he learns who he is through dreams showing him glimpses. Very unique storyline with so many twist and turns you'd swear it was an entire season of Dr. Who before the end, and even when you think you have the gist it does it again.

yeah - i watched that with my oldest daughter - she loves all that stuff. I quite liked it it too.

Interstellar - 8.5/10. Pretty good stuff, but maybe too long.

Fantastic Mr. Fox - 8.5/10

I have a love/hate relationship with Wes Anderson movies but I finally got around to watching this because my son and I had just finished the book and he was itching to watch the adaptation. This movie was really sharp and witty with a good story, but the thing I liked most is that it was the opposite of most "kids" movies I've seen recently. Instead of being a movie made for kids with some references adults could enjoy, this was a movie made for adults that kids will just happen to enjoy. I loved the dialogue (especially the banter by Mr Fox voiced by George Clooney and his son voiced by Jason Schwartzman) and the plot expanded the story of the book in a really fun way. The style and look was very Wes Anderson, but the performances and animation reminded of Wallace and Gromit which has always been a household favorite.

Though I find Wes Anderson to be pretentious at times with some of his movies, this one was very charming and hit all the right notes with me.

I love that movie. I'm surprised you haven't seen it yet. I agree with every point of your review.

Now I'm stoked to catch some good flicks!

I think it was mostly because of my feelings towards Anderson himself. I have to be in a very specific mood to watch one of his movies and this was more of a result of my son just having finished the book. I remember when it came out thinking I needed to see it then but it not being a priority, like most Wes Anderson movies. I usually end up watching them but not in their theatrical runs. The only movie of his I ever saw in the theater was Rushmore.

I understand. This one is much different from his "normal" stuff.

We watched Birdman last night. It was weird.

World War Z - 7/10. Good have been better, could have been worse. Interesting take on an extremely overdone genre.

Watched Fury last night. Pretty decent, even though I feel like I am over WW2 movies. 7/10
