Is the Godzilla movie out yet?
As WW3 develops, no one is going to be dissing the "preppers." What have you done?

Twelve years to produce, this is different and might be interesting to see:

Sorry if it's already been posted about but watched the Paperboy yesterday. Disturbing movie that was hard to watch at times but really well done. Wouldn't recommend it for the faint of heart but the actors took some huge risks and were brilliant.

Full credit to "Guardians of the Galaxy" for living up the the hype. Not too long and not too short (just under 2 hours), great action sequences and dialogue. A hint of characters back stories - enough to know what motivates them - without going into full detail or flashback sequences. I get why some people are excited about the soundtrack too. I feel bad for Marvel though as they've set the bar pretty high with this one. Going to be hard to top. Still, they now have an entire Galaxy to expand out too.

My only hope is that they DO NOT bring back the character shown in the end credits!

Just watched Oblivion last night. I thought it was entertaining with twists and good action.
Tom Cruise is the action hero in it.

I didn't mind Edge Of Tomorrow, but I also realize its just Groundhog Day with aliens.

"A Most Wanted Man" with Philip Seymour Hoffman. You're going to have to pay close attention to keep up with the plot, but it is well done (Hoffman is good as to be expected), based on a true story (apparently) and ends in a disturbing fashion.

"The Grand Budapest Hotel" is worth checking out. Lots of star power in small roles.

If your a fan of sci fi or movie making in general, highly recommend checking out "Jodorowsky's Dune"

"3 Days to Kill". Good action with a splash of comedy thrown in. This is also from a guy who's not a big Kevin Costner fan. :-)
