What She Watched, 2015

[lagilman]

13. John Wick (despite my distaste for "woman dies for manpain" and "kill the dog for manpain" and oversaturated sets, I was curious. Verdict: pretty much everything I hate in movies, with only a bit of good acting to save it.)
12. Avengers: Age of Ultron
11. Pacific Rim (yeah, I know, I didn't see many movies in the theater the past few years...)
10. Hunger Games (yes, finally. Shut up)
9. Divergent
8. Jack the Giant-Killer (glad I didn't spend money seeing this in the theater, but good to watch while sorting tax paperwork...)
7. Duma
6. Mirror, Mirror (after a while I just had it on for the pretty, I freely admit)
5. Over the Hedge (I'd never actually watched it through to the end, before)
4. Now You See Me
3. The Other Woman
2. Nanny McPhee
1. Grand Budapest Hotel

Yup. Pretty much the only reason I watched the entire thing as well.

If you get a chance, watch Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. I'd love to know what you think of it.

I know my parents loved it - I've just never been in the right frame of mine when it's come by. Hopefully soon.

I don't comment here often, but...

I am curious to know which you preferred, The Hunger Games or Divergent, and why?

[lagilman]

I didn't prefer either - neither blew my socks off, because I'm the wrong audience for post-apoc Big Epics that don't actually explain how the world got/stays there...

Hunger Games had a better use of characters, Divergent had a better grasp of interesting story lines.

Well, if it makes you feel better, you listed 13 movies that I've not seen. (And am likely to not see, since I really don't do movies much.)

I watch movies as they fall into my lap, mostly. The list is more for my own memory than anything else.
