Inside Man

loved it, great bank robbery movie, lots of tense moments, and Clive Owen and Denzel Washington so two of my favorite actors in one movie

Saw the final hobbit yesterday, it was quite disappointing. But funny were Legolas´ over-the-top last fight and that greedy and gutless human (deputy mayor or sth like this). The latter role would´ve been even better when Peter Jackson played that guy himself...

Watched Exodus: Gods and Kings last week.
3/10

Two things:
1. I am an atheist but ain't exactly against religious people since my parents are religious
2. I had very little knowledge about the movie other than it is based on Moses.

The movie itself takes an interesting POV, it doesn't justify God's work onto the Egyptians like most other Christian movies try to.
Moses would even argue against God (who is depicted as a child, my parents disliked it but I thought it was pretty clever)

It also questions on faith a little ("which God?"; "which God would kill children", not exact quotes)

But
The movie ultimately fails because of pacing.
It spent roughly one hour just displaying how Egyptians suffer from God's divine punishments, such as the locusts.

It's incredibly sickening to watch through that whole part and I have sat through movies like A Serbian Film but none of them stirred up this feeling to me.
Unlike disaster films where strangers die and you won't feel much. In this movie, somehow you feel disgusted at how those people suffer.

At the end, no one in my family liked it, I stand by my recommendation that we should have went to watch interstellar instead.

Saw Wild with Reese Witherspoon. Fantastic movie, highly recommend it to anyone (as long as you don't mind nudity). Very well done and you can definitely tell it's from the same director as Dallas Buyers Club (another movie I loved). It seems like Wild is only being played in indie movie theaters at the moment, so you may have to search a bit for it but it's absolutely great. It's a true story about a women hiking the PCT (Pacific Crest Trail) which goes from Mexico to Canada through the USA. It's a true story and a best selling book. It goes a bit into her addict history and why she's hiking the trail. Her mom is played by the blonde girl from Jurassic Park who does well too. All together, it features beautiful scenery, great acting, great directory, great story and comes together to make the best movie I've seen in a while. 5/5

My opinion is that movie is kinda trashy.
Dude who wrote the script has never read a decent book in his life, guaranteed.
