Finally saw some movies I've been meaning to watch. Enjoyed Sicario and Black Coal, Thin Ice (the story of the latter is frustratingly good, as in, it's real, and not storybook). The cinematography of the Black Coal, Thin Ice will be really appealing to film buffs. Also watched another foreign flick which I didn't like as much and had a dragging third act, but for dark humor and mild suspense, A Hard Day is a decent rec from Korea. Favorite movie I've seen recently is probably Ex Machina (yes, I'm playing catch up).
In theaters recently: Really really liked the new Star Wars, and I'm not a fan of the series as a whole, so that's saying something I guess.
@LosRockets I saw Sicario not too long ago, and really enjoyed it. The whole prisoner transfer scene really sticks out in my mind. It was just awesomely intense.
Saw Deadpool on Sunday night with the lady. I'm not a big superhero/comic book fan, but I've seen a couple of the X-Men a few of the related ones. Very funny and I'm sure there will be at least one sequel.
Mission Impossible 5: Rogue Nation.
I knew what I was getting in to before the movie started. Sometimes an action Jackson movie where one can turn their brains off is the way to go.
Sicario was the first movie I had been stoked to see in a long time. I also was equally stoked for deadpool. Despite high expectations for both, I was not disappointed. Bothe were excellent. I'm always a sucker for cartel stories, too. So Sicario would have had to have been pretty bad for me not to have enjoyed it. It's my second favorite cartel themed film to End of Watch.

I have Sicario downloaded on my iPad for my next trip where I'm not working the entire train/flight, very excited to see it. Deadpool I may need to see as well, since I'm a comic movie nerd and rather enjoy Ryan Reynolds characters across the board (but still damn him for taking Blake Lively off the market!). Not sure whether to try to get my girlfriend to see Deadpool or find time on my own to go... thoughts?
