Several that I wanted to see this year never came to my town, but in several cases they are already available on digital platforms. I bought and watched The Zero Theorem the other night, but there are still a couple of others I haven't seen yet:

Life After Beth - available
I Origins - not yet released

Upcoming films I'm interested in:
Birdman
Inherent Vice
Predestination

I watched Life After Beth last night. It's mildly entertaining but I can't really recommend it unless you feel you have to watch everything zombie.

Does anybody know if William Mapother is related to Tom Cruise?

Is Deadpool a copy of Clint's film?

With Adrianne Palicki too. Know how Hollywood has a really blockbuster flick, then another studio gets word, finds a copy-cat script and low-balls the cast and budget to get one out before the blockbuster? Recall Armageddon, which was cast before and released after Deep Impact, among manty other examples? john Wick looks like the blockbuster that Equalizer tried to pre-empt.

Rudderless, with great cast, including Jamie Chung.

Interstellar was on my list.

Agreed, it wasn't as good as Kick Ass, but parts of it were hilarious.
And I like the fact that you mentioned KA's cinematography, it was superior to Kingsman in every way.

Plus Chloe Grace Moretz' character was so much more than the young apprentice in Kingsman. So Kick Ass wins there too, hands down.

It kind of reminds me of how good the scenes were in the original Robocop. I equate Kick Ass to that movie, although Robocop had a different pace to it, I liked how the violence depicted was social commentary, but without detracting from the movie.

Of course, KA is much better, but still.......the violence in Kingsman was a couple of notches past 11, to the point of distraction (except for the bar fight scene, which was awesome - and a bit derivative of the Cloud Atlas scene in the Scottish bar).

So I find myself agreeing with you again.

Ok, so did the Earth just rotate on it's axis!
