I went out and saw Big Eyes today.

Did my patriotic duty to give the middle finger to oppression and saw The Interview.
Finally decided to watch How To Train Your Dragon

Ok, these aren't 'movies' but I thought they are worth sharing. The local public library has several installments of the Jazz Icons series, DVDs that show entire live performances of a variety of Jazz giants as close to their primes as can be had. Most performances were filmed for European television. In the past few days (to the dismay of my SO), I've seen performances by Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Coleman Hawkins, and Art Blakely and the Jazz Messengers. Next up: Count Basie and Duke Ellington.
These DVDs are indispensable if you love this music. I can't recommend them highly enough. RE: The Last Movie You Watched

The Interview: this is a film I probably would've skipped if not for the controversy, by which I mean my friend got a copy and brought it over and I was intrigued enough to watch it. It starts off somewhat clever and funny. James Franco seems to relish these types of roles and throws himself completely into it, which makes the early going fun. Seth Rogen plays it fairly straight for the most part, ceding the limelight to Franco until the later scenes, when the movie just jumps the shark. I can't help but wonder what someone like Steve Carrell could have done with Rogen's part.
Not a great film, but not a waste of time either thanks to Franco's over-the-top yet oh-so-nuanced efforts in his role.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
