Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Well executed, although the bristling-with-weapons for killing <2million people raised my eyebrows.
Steve Rogers lost a lot of my respect there. Thor was more pissed off with Loki's murders than Rogers was with the Winter Soldier.

Dancer in the dark .
A quote from the movie :
Selma: You like the movies, don't you?
Bill Houston: I love the movies. I just love the musicals.
Selma: But isn't it annoying when they do the last song in the films?
Bill Houston: Why?
Selma: Because you just know when it goes really big... and the camera goes like out of the roof... and you just know it's going to end. I hate that. I would leave just after the next to last song... and the film would just go on forever.

"How to Train Your Dragon 2"
Dreamworks has figured out how to make sequels. Boy, have they! I did not believe the few people I've heard saying that this one is every bit as good as the first, if not better. I won't say better, yet. Not until I've waited a couple days and maybe seen it again. But, it just might be!

I went out to see Palo Alto the other day, by Gia Coppola. I didn't love it like I thought I would. Just too many naughty high school characters for my liking, I guess. But, that's the point, I suppose. I liked the soundtrack and the cinematography. It was worth it, but not life-changing.

The Usual Suspects: Yeah, it's an oldie, and it took me this long to getting around to watch it. After it was over I was thinking that if Brian Singer had been given the budget and early script for Inglorious Basterds, he'd have made one hell of a classic.
"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."

A million ways to die in the west
If you like "Family guy" you should also like this new Seth McFarlane's comedy. Good humor, but nothing spectacular. The only bad thing i can say is that the movie was a bit too long (almost 2 hours).
Other than that.. it's a solid comedy
Final rating 8/10

Saw 22 Jump Street.
It is a fantastic movie. Tatum and Hill are superb in this. The fight scene between the latter and the female villain is hilarious. You all have to see it.

Everyone should go see Dreamworks movies repeatedly, soon and at full price.

Man, I just got around to watching that a couple months back and loved it. Of course I already knew there was a twist because it's been around so long, and I guessed it but still found it pretty damn enjoyable.
