Franco was a little over the top and I'm tired of Rogen playing the same character in every movie, but a solid B+. The guy who plays Kim Jong really nailed it.
I enjoyed it as well. Rogen's shtick is getting a bit exhausting, but the film was hella funny. And I agree, the guy who played Kim did an awesome job.

For those not familiar, these are writers with a great eye [npi] for story based on real events.

They previously collaborated on Man in the Moon, People v. Larry Flynt, and Ed Wood.

This is the story of the legal wrangling over the copyright on those wide-eyed portraits that were popular for a hot minute.

An Education.

Great little vignette on what life in 1960s Britain was like.

Would be great to date 16-year olds. :-)

I was most attracted to the teacher, though. Man she needed to loosen up.

Boyhood is good. Like, it's boring as fuck. But it's really cool seeing a kid grow up.

Guarantee you will relate to it in someway, even if it's only to appreciate that your life was not so fucked up.

I have a question. Every good review I have seen of it seems to harp on the gimmick. Every negative reviews I have seen says remove the gimmick and you have a terribly generic 3 hour movie. Thoughts?

All I can say is that it was a unique movie that kept my attention. The acting was honestly great...really liked Ethan Hawke in it.

It's a bit dry but well made. A slow burn.

Foreign movie called Ragnarok on Netflix was pretty good, although the title is a bit misleading. It didn't really have anything to do with Ragnarok.

It just can't be better than the book. I'm considering not seeing the movie for that reason alone, as weird as it sounds.

Watched an incredibly sad film last night, The Wind that Shakes the Barley. It has been vilified by many British critics for being pro-republican in its portrayal of the time surrounding a peace treaty between IRA leaders and the crown in 1921, but it really has so much more to offer. It is a sometimes off paced, but well made story about a young Irish doctor who leaves his medical career behind after witnessing cruelty by British officers to join his brothers IRA group and fight, until the treaty, when he is suddenly at odds with his own brother as the Irish split into opposing factions. I've been on a Cillian Murphy streak lately, and this was quite good. A big warning about the pacing though. I am pretty tolerant of slow and steady, but this jerks a bit from the fast pace to the deliberate and it hurts the film from time to time, but the really key story moments are paced well.

I sometimes like stories about individuals or small groups in complicated historical situations more than epic tellings of heroes, and this fit that bill quite well.
