The Raid: Redemption(2011): I loved this film. Watched the second one as well but it didn't have the same effect on me.
Passengers: its a chick flick. wife loved it, I was like meh boring..
Finding Dory: Didn't see Nemo, this one I liked.
Prime Suspect: British TV series which made Hellen Mirren famous. I enjoyed it a lot.
Attack on Titan: Live action movie version. Same as the anime, I liked it but as much as the anime.
Pyscho-Pass: I am on the first few episodes of season 1 but so far great!
Rogue One: Better than Force Awakens but that wasn't a high bar to pass.
Mars: National Geographics Tv miniseries, i enjoyed it. it can be boring for some as it is slow paced
Inferno: It was ok, I enjoyed it for once, I doubt I will watch again.
Arrival: wow i am hooked...I am so curious what's gonna happen at the end...keep watching, now the story will be revealed soon...oh no the movie ended? nothing happened? what did I really watch?
Town: not my cup of tea but I can see many enjoying it.
Miss pelegrin: Tim Burton, had to watch it. Not his best, not his worst.
i am seriously giving up on new films. The number of decent new movies are becoming smaller and smaller. Indie films are starting to become stupid as well. So far there are good foreign movies to watch. Hopefuly they wont get the holywood infection.

Have you heard bad things about the BD release or are you just against the movie in general? Me? I don't collect any movies in the modern era, too much good old stuff to still seek out.

I have the exact same feeling, substance. I am a HUGE sci-fi film but all those so-called most recent masterpieces ( Interstellar, The Arrival, The Martian ( that one was the worst with its corny happy ending and its stupid jokes, if I want to laugh I can watch a comedy ) ) simply did not appeal to me. Gravity was great though. I just thought that Jeremy Renner was a total miscast and that a different actor would have done a better job. He is simply nothing special. Who cares about Jeremy Renner from such movies as Mission Impossible or some other Blockbuster crap ? He most certainly isn't a new Robert de Niro or Al Pacino. And the ending was kind of weird. Plus I hated the fact that both Interstellar as well as the Martian had the same damn actors in them - Matt Damon and Jessica Chastain. Europa Report was a way better movie than The Martian, for example. Silence by the great Martin Scorsese was the only really good movie I have seen in a long long time. That is a true masterpiece. I have huge hopes that Netflix might provide us with some good stuff to watch in the future. I am now watching a new Netflix / Paramount produced series called 13 Reasons Why. Wow, that is the best series I have seen in a long time. The acting is just absolutely superb ( it is a series about a girl committing suicide ) and it has everything that I want in a movie / series. I can really really recommend it !!!

I do wish those responsible for the decision making back in the day more carefully chose which titles would most benefit from a DTS LD soundtrack. But I guess the commercial reality was just to get it on as many as you could.... BTW Casino had a DTS release too! I have the dts LD of Spawn btw. Someone sold it to me for 7 €. I just had to have it for 7 € given it's a dts title but I know it is bad. There are some very good movies that had a dts release such as Casino or Carlito's Way but the majority is straight garbage. This is one of them: http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt0120670/Firestorm ? Come on. I have never heard of this movie before. This movie is so bad that it was never released on DVD here in Germany. Who came up with the idea of releasing this filth with a dts soundtrack ?

Danny McBride's comedy shows over the last few years have been a highlight for me, I really like his kind of humour.

Started on it a few days earlier with a couple of friends, but one of them fell asleep and the other lost interest (browsing his phone) before the 2nd act. The movie were a bit slow for me too, but glad I've finally seen it. Oh man is it slow. I was so excited to get the Criterion DVD when it first came out. Got it home and it took 3 or 4 days to watch it, had to watch it in parts. Sort of enjoyed it, sort of the same as the book as well. But it was much better than the remake, that was a waste of time and added elements to it that just weren't in the book

To my surprise Julien hasn't heard of this movie. I figured some of you may not have either. I picked up the bluray disc for "the red turtle" last week. I was totally mesmerized by the imagery and the story which is open for interpretation. Ok what's significant about this film? Its a Studio Ghibli/Sony Pictures collaboration. The director is a Belgian guy (a first in Ghibli history). So its not entirely Studio Ghibli but more than kinda it is. Producers at Ghibli were impressed by this Belgian directors short animation films and offered to produce his full length debut animated film. below is the imdb link. http://m.imdb.com/title/tt3666024/
