My daughter is home after a year in S Korea teaching so we were headed to the movies to see Capt. America. Unfortunately the previous night was the last time for the 6:40 show so we ended up seeing X-Men. Didn't really matter, I just wanted to have a little father-daughter time.

The Bus

A little off-topic but how did she like it? A friend moved there to teach for a year. That was five years ago. He's still there.

Meet The Hitlers A Morgan Spurlock produced doc on Showtime.

That one New Jersey guy who named his kid Adolph Hitler and I think another Himmler was a trip.

She loved the experience. She loved the country. She loved the kids. Also got to travel to Japan and Thailand. Her one complaint was that she was working in a private school that had very long school days. Their school days go til 5 o'clock and she was usually there by 7 so the days were long for teaching. She has applied to start a masters program in Scotland in the fall. If that doesn't come together she'll go back to S Korea for another year.

I enjoyed it. It's not quite original and some pacing issues, but quite a few of the set-pieces were worth the price of admission for me. I would give it a rent if you aren't 100% sure (after watching the trailer).

(Dis)Honesty: The Truth About Lies - 4/5

A fascinating psycgological study about why humans lie.

The Finest Hours...didn't resonate with me at all. i kept comparing it to the far superior The Perfect Storm. Pine and Affleck seemed like they were posturing in some scenes. taking an extra moment, a look, subtle, but didn't work.

Entertaining, but mostly forgettable.

Wife gave up immediately. I found some humorous parts but didn't find it particularly good. Will not revisit it. I would give it a C just becauise of the talent involved.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - 3/5

Not as great as many claim it to be. Tries a bit too hard to be funny and cutesy. The corny 'Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head' sequence and the awful soundtrack don't help. Give me Once Upon a Time in the West or The Wild Bunch anytime.

How to be Single...no.

The Darkness

They always change a few things in these movies from the actual history but whatever the changes were, they didn't affect the entertainment value. That dude was a sick fuck. Nice doc in the extras on the hunt for the real whitey bulger.

Valhalla Rising (2009)

Fundamentals of Caring (Netflix): One of those comedy dramas where people make good out of numerous shitty situations. Has a recycled plot and follows an emotions checklist, but it's a really solid feel good movie for a rainy day. Recommended.

Drive (2011)

In spite of Bay's less than subtle style I give this one a solid B. I noticed more exposition here than in the theater but it was still a good war flick.

Vipper II

Finding Nemo

I hope to see Finding Dory this week.

Not sure why I rented this since I usually don't if they get less than a 6 on IMDB. Great actors giving good performances but the movie itself offered nothing new to the genre and was very slow moving.
