Watched / Watching

So I have the next ~ 3 weeks off before I start my new job, so I figured it's time to watch some movies that I never got around to watching (mainly because my wife doesn't really want to watch them with me :P).

 

Just finished Ip Man, and I have to say, even though it's obviously embellishment - a movie about the legend of Ip Man, not a biopic - it was pretty damn good.

 

Some solid drama, decent acting, and really good choreography for the fight scenes.

 

I feel like a little bit of the dialog was lost in translation (I watched it with subs rater than dubs, which helped), which was sad. Some of the contextual and cultural stuff didn't quite translate well into English, maybe some idioms or the like.

 

All in all, I'd say a good 7/10, fun Kung Fu movie.

 

About to fire up Ip Man 2, or maybe The Raid: Redemption.

 

Gotta get some Kung Fu in my life today!

Started watching The Americans.  It's...actually really good. Blew my expectations out of the water.

Ghost in the Shell.

 

I never saw the original, but was not disappointed.

Found some low budget sci-fi movie on Netflix called Primer.

 

Holy Balls, it's the best movie I've seen in a very long time. It's the 28 Days Later of sci-fi, guys, seriously, go out there and effing watch it right now.

Finished the second season of 12 Monkeys... which has far exceeded all expectations set by the first season.
