Thank god I have plenty to recommend this week, because it’s like a week in January this week. Garbage week for new stuff, but I’ve been hitting Netflix and Comcast On-Demand pretty hard lately, so please read on.

Need for Speed
Finally this fucking movie is being released. No, I’m not excited
to see it I am excited for the fucking ads to end. This movie is
being advertised everywhere, I don’t remember a movie with a
marketing run this long and in your face. Thankfully it should all
come to a close in a couple weeks after it everyone realizes, oh
this video game movie is a piece of shit.
Veronica Mars
Jeez, what an awful movie week this is. If it weren’t warm out today, in the Boston area, I would think it was still January. I just read that this used to be TV show filled the void left by Buffy, so yah good luck with this one.
Tunes
311 - Stereolithic
I probably won’t like or listen to much or any of this album, I just liked that they released it on 3/11. Oh and Aloe Blacc dropped an album today, so yah the music world is booming.
Since I’ve Last Written
Dallas Buyers Club
Great movie. Matthew McConaughey was just fantastic. I didn’t know
much about it, I just went in thinking it’s a movie about gay dudes
and people with AIDS. I assumed MM was gay and then bang first
scene he is nailing two chicks at a rodeo and my head spun a bit.
Also a bit shocking that early is how much weight he actually lost.
You hear about all the weight he lost, but until you see it it
doesn’t really hit you, especially knowing that the camera makes
you look heavier. I highly recommend this film, it was nominated
for best picture for a reason, it didn’t just get a nod because of
it’s potentially touchy subject. That being said there is one scene
that drove me f’n nuts. MM walks into Jennifer Gardner’s office
hoping to get her to write him prescriptions, he opens the door and
it appears to shut with the pneumatic closer. Now this is a scene
where it cuts from over her shoulder looking at him and the door to
over his shoulder looking at her. So he walks in the door appears
to close and they cut to looking at her. Then when they cut back to
looking at him the door appears to be open about 12”, okay that’s
fine… then back to looking at her. When they go back to looking at
him the door is wide ass open until they cut to her and then back
to him where it is only open about 6” before he walks out. What
gives professional movie makers? How do you make a film nominated
for best picture at the Oscars and not catch this?
Rush
I want to call this a great racing movie, but it wasn’t really
that. The worst part about this movie was the racing. There were a
few fraudulent parts in the story, but the racing was all CGI’d.
Usually the story sucks away from the racing scenes but this movie
was the exact opposite. Everytime they were on track I sort of
grimaced. There were also some graphic scenes I could have done
without, but all in all it felt like a great movie to me, even
though the one thing I expected to see was good race
scenes.
In A World
This was a good movie even though it was a little over the top with
the chick guilt. In a sense this is a women’s rights type of movie
but it had some good substance. The cast was fantastic. Of note,
Rob Corddry wasn’t in it enough and Demetri Martin was good.
Demetri wasn’t particularly funny but actually good at acting in
this. It would appear that writer, director, and lead actress Lake
Bell is quite the talent.
Walking Dead
Okay assholes, we have all had enough of this spread out drag it
out nonsense. We get it everyone is going to meet up at this new
city or whatever it is and there may be some alliance issues, whoop
de freakin do. You aren’t Lost or Breaking Bad, enough dragging
this shit out, get to the point.
True Detective
One hell of a season of television. Just when we all thought nothing could ever fill that Breaking Bad void. That hammer throw sticking in Woody’s chest was stuck out to me but other than that just fantastic. I’m just glad neither of them actually died. Here’s to hoping for a season two with MM and Woody back at it.
