The Official Movie Thread

I love movies about the medieval times, ancient Rome and Greece, and sci-fi, but I've pretty much watched everything there is :-\ I'm constantly going through lists of the best movies within these categories so it's hard to find something new.
 
I really enjoyed this simple documentary about four bands touring from Austin to Boston:

It's on Netflix. I'm a big fan of Ben Howard, but those Staves are majestic.
 
Finally saw Foxcatcher and Gone Girl... Foxcatcher was good but it seem to not develop the characters too well for me. Something missing. I did like ruffalo... Gone girl I though was ok but poor ending

Foxcatcher was basically how I imagined Jeff Loria runs the Marlins you know minus the murder.

Admittedly I'm not the world's biggest fan of comic book movies to begin with but between that and the new Superman trailer it looked like they were pitching me on 5+ hours or so of stuff where I wasn't supposed to have a lot of fun.

I don't know. Suicide Squad at least looks like it's going to have some lighthearted moments. Superman vs Batman just looks like a dark, dystopian nightmare.

I don't mind a dark, dystopian nightmare if it turns out anything like the Injustice series.

Yeah, Injustice or Death of Superman would be my picks for WB to forward with.  They are setting up the Doomsday in Dawn of Justice.  Not sure I like how they are setting it up though.
 
The Deadpool trailer trailer is out, and it's perfect. Contains adult language.

I'm still not sure if I actually like the whole Deadpool concept, but I have to admit they are pretty much bang on with doing everything right in presenting it so far.

Dawn of Justice seems to have some of the themes of Injustice nested in there (power and the balance of power, cost of peace), a mini arc of post-"A Death in the Family" for Batman, and more than a passing resemblance to Marvel's Civil War arc where two philosophies of heroism are held in tension. Whatever it is will have to set up an impending disaster great enough to for them to set aside their differences and unite as a Justice League (and all their disparate themes of vengeance/madness, godhood, alien isolation, regal responsibility, etc.).

The full trailer had better be Deadpool ripping apart the trailer over voiceover, a la Honest Trailers.

Edit: it isn't an Honest Trailer, but it has some bon mots.

The Source Family on Netflix was interesting. I'm on a real documentary kick lately.

It's pretty much all I use Netflix for recently. All the ESPN 30 for 30 are on American Netflix.
 
Just finished Jonestown: Paradise Lost on Netflix. I found it riveting. I have to agree with the reviews: they could or should have interviewed Stephan Jones even more. He's captivating.

Such a sad story.
 
I just watched Rambo: First Blood Part II for the first time in 15 years. I should not have watched it and just relied on my memories.
 
Best movies of 2015 so far according to CBC...

I could agree more with their top selection. And I wasn't even a fan of the original franchise.
