While the story is wrapped up rather neatly by the end it is still one of the most entertaining and inspiring movies to come along recently. It's a serious story that is told with plenty of humor. The trio of actresses at the center of the movie are all fantastic. Is there something Janelle Monae can't do?
While the story at times offers multiple threads worth exploring and doesn't do any of them much justice, the central story is powerful enough to overcome that. Dev Patel shines in the lead role and gives a great performance. Nicole Kidman deserves some props as well.
Another performance from DiCaprio that just isn't anything special. The makeup is distracting at best for the older versions of characters. There's a good story here, I just think Dustin Lance Black and Clint Eastwood compromised their way around it.
It's great to get new music from 2/3 of Fleetwood Mac's songwriters, but I wish it was better. The lyrics can be pure schmaltz at times and there are some overproduced tracks. Calling this anything like a duet album would be an error as some of the songs only feature Lindsey and his studio tricks to create backup vocals...and his tired studio tricks as well. There are some real standouts though!
Arrival is easily one of the best movies of last year and Amy Adams, as usual, is phenomenal. It's pretty fantastic in every way. Even with Forrest Whitaker doing an accent.
Lorde's second album is an easy contender for album of the summer. There's an energy throughout that I missed at times on the first album. It seems as though someone has become a bit more confident this time around. Give it a listen.

Great printer, easy setup/installation, simple to use and everything on my home wifi network will print to it. A lot better than the last printer I had. Worth a buy.

Bennet Miller is one of the best directors working and creates a sense of tension that lasts the entire running time despite the known conclusion. The performances from Ruffalo, Tatum, and especially Carell are terrific. Steve Carell is terrifying at times and just so brilliant. Worth the price alone to see him go so far from what you're used to seeing. Definitely a slow mover, but it's still one of the best of the year.

This isn't the best Sofia Coppola has done, but it is still enjoyable at times. Definitely more for a younger audience. Not all the acting is done well, but it works within the context of the story/movie.
