Last night I watched "Thunder Soul" on Netflix. It is more of a documentary than a movie, but it was very well done. If you're interested in the Arts, and want to hear some great funk music, give it a go. Basic premise is a group of adults after 30 years, got back together to honor their old band teacher who taught them more than just music.
It's worth it! I loved it, I thought it was one of the best dramas I've seen in a while- but pay attention, pee before it starts, and afterward you'll be glad you saw it.
In other news- I really cannot say I loved, nor hated, the new Superman "Man of Steel." The plot was a re imagining of Superman II, with General Zod, but incorporated some new things (note: I did not ever read the comics), and just got too back-and-forth with the battles for me. Then again, I like Batman 10x more than Superman, Superman is just too impervious.

Just watched the original "Brian's Song" again. It has to be one of the finest sports movies ever produced. I've loved "The Bad News Bears", "The Express", "Remember the Titans", "We Are Marshall", "The Natural" and many others but the story of the bond between two players is something special and having the real players and real game footage in it was great.
-just saw The Counselor. I'm not sure the trailer was all that representative of the movie.

If you plan to watch bad grandpa just watch the trailer 3x. The trailer was basically the movie!
They assembled quite the cast, even for the bit parts they had big names, which had to have cost a pretty penny. Couple that with Ridley Scott directing and I think having high expectations was reasonable. In spite of that, it lacked production value, -almost like they got all those people together for a weekend in El Paso and decided to shoot a movie.
Saw the new Carrie. Really enjoyed it, probably more than the original.
New X Men trailer just came out. Looks epic.
