Noah ... 6/10. Finally got around to seeing this during the Epix free preview weekend (heh). Exceedingly weird interpretation of Genesis, with reasonably good acting and cool visuals. Could've been a WHOLE LOT better with just a couple of relatively minor changes ...
(1) Lose the rock monsters. They were weird and unnecessary, and caused a lot more problems with the movie's reception than they were worth. I'm aware the Nephilim ("fallen angels") are Biblical ... but they weren't rock monsters, and didn't help Noah build or protect the Ark. And, having fallen angels (demons, in other words) assist Noah in his task was unnecessary and leaves a very bad taste. Their presence was more bothersome than useful, and put off a lot of believers that saw the movie as mocking the story rather than interpreting it.
(2) Tweak Noah's characterization a bit. I'm fine with the misanthrope angle -- makes sense given what he's seen -- but the near-baby-assassin thing was bizarre and unnecessary. I'm fine with a bit of God-driven 'insanity' ... makes some sense that a lot of people would see him as crazy. But, drifting into genuine murderous insanity, especially given its absence from the source material, is a step too far.
(3) Have 'the Creator' see to the healing of the young girl's infertility rather than Methusela ... to make clear that Noah's misanthropy was his misinterpretation rather than God's will. The way they depicted it, it can be interpreted that humanity's survival was due to Noah disobeying God. That's strange, and counter-Biblical.
Those three relatively minor changes would've completely changed believers' reception of this movie. They were viewed as insulting and disrespectful to the source material. I'm fine with adding 'interpretation', so long as the 'interpretation' isn't contrary to the limited source material that we have on Noah's Genesis story. There was just too much counter-Biblical 'interpretation' in this.
Edge of Tomorrow ... 9/10. Cool cross between Call of Duty, Groundhog Day, and the Matrix. I'm continually surprised at how often I like Tom Cruise's movies despite disliking Cruise.
The Wolf of Wall Street ... 9/10. Another good movie. Interesting story. Entertaining. Well acted. Admirable salesman with less than admirable self-control. Reminded me a bit of The Boiler Room, though from the perspective of the owner rather than a lackey.

The Bounty (1985) - 9/10
I've never seen another "Mutiny on the Bounty" film before. Hopkins was perfectly cast.

Scorch Trials - 9/10. Great follow up, even if they changed a bit from the book.
Jeepers Creepers - 3.5/5
One creepy ass horror movie, that I haven't seen in years, until last night on IFC. I really liked the cinematography and close-up camera angles in some of the scenes.

The Lady Vanishes - 8/10
Early Hitchcock (1938), a very entertaining movie with lots of his signature elements. However, there's one really weird scene... here's a youtube link with the time code:

Is this man a Terminator?

I've seen and loved The Lady Vanishes. I may even own it within a collection of mostly. crummy Hitchcock movies. That one stood out among the rest as being quality. Or I steamed it on Netflix if I don't own it.
I also am only familiar with Hopkins post SotL. He really has phoned it in on many roles since those two.... Great actor.

I watched Pacific Rim for the first time tonight -- ? / 10
Great effects. Great mech / monster action. Great Kaiju / Jaeger designs.
Clunky story.
Horrible main characters.
Atrociously fake Aussie / American accents.
Way too much inaudible yelling of dialogue.
Ron Perlman was underused.
No reason to feel anything for anyone in this movie.
I was going for the monsters.

The Empire Strikes Back - 10/10
My 6 year old daughter, who has only seen the original Star Wars (and was bored to tears by it) and the Rebels TV show, which she likes, asked to watch one of the movies totally out of the blue. This was a surprise to me, as I had given up after the lukewarm (no pun intended) reception the first movie received. We watched it together and she absolutely LOVED it! She is already begging to watch Jedi tonight.
While I was watching I couldn't help but get wrapped up in it all over again. I haven't watched Empire in years, and it hasn't lost any of it's impact. It is still, for me one of the greatest films ever made. Beautifully shot, edited, natural dialogue, and despite what others say, quite well acted.i never understood the complaint that the acting was bad, I could not imagine scenes like those between Ford and Fisher feeling anymore natural and effortless than they are in this film. What a remarkable film!
