I just Life Partners at a film festival and I loved it.  It's a female buddy dramedy - one is a lesbian and the other is straight.  Stars Leighton Meester (Gossip Girl), Gillian Jacobs (Community) and Adam Brody (The OC).  It gets a limited theatrical and VOD release next month.
"Choosing to be true to one's self — despite challenges that may come with the journey — is an integral part of realizing not just one's own potential, but of realizing the true nature of our collective human spirit. This spirit is what makes us who we are, and by following that spirit as it manifests outwardly, and inwardly, you are benefiting us all." -Andrew WK

Maze Runner and it gave me nightmares.

I saw Blended over the weekend, somewhat silly and un-pc, but enjoyable nevertheless. But you have to like Adam Sandler movies to enjoy it.

Crap. I totally forgot that I watched Real Heroes last night. My friend made it and I attended several readings of the scripts at various stages of revision. I got an early release of the DVD for supporting the Kickstarter. I thought it quite funny and very well-done, particularly considering he did it with so little money.


Sephirah

Noah, starring Russel Crowe.

It left me with the overriding impression of "WTF did I just watch?" It made even less sense than the story it's based on. I'm pretty sure the biblical version didn't involve a Gandalfesque magical figure who wanted to eat berries with some Farva beans and a nice Chianti, Lord of the Rings style battle sequences with giant rock golems, drugging all the animals with some unexplained soporific substance so they went to sleep the whole way through and wouldn't be a pain to deal with, a primitive home pregnancy testing kit, teen angsty love story... and Noah going totally bats**t insane.

I can see what they were trying to do but... yeah... it was very surreal.

The new Ninja Turtles movie.

And...I...I liked it. More than the late 80s/early 90s Turtle movies. And it was directed by Michael Bay. And the new theme song Shell Shock, omg. Have I snapped? Am I going insane?

BEGIN AGAIN!!! Swooooon. If any of you were fans of Once, this is the same deal. It's a love story not between two people but between people and music. Moreover, it's about handcrafted quality, about independence! Keira Knightley is divine in it and Mark Ruffalo is scruffydorable.

Have you seen "Shadow of the Vampire"? It's a fictional account of the making of "Nosferatu" in which Max Schreck is an actual vampire.
April 22, 2015, the day of my first face to face pass in gender neutral clothes and no makeup. It may be months to the next one, but I'm good with that!

Being transgender is just a phase. It hardly ever starts before conception and always ends promptly at death.

Jimi: All Is By My Side

I am a HUGE Jimi Hendrix fan and have performed many Hendrix songs over the years.  Seriously, if I had a time machine, the first thing I'd do is see Hendrix play. 

This movie was a real mixed bag for me.  Andre Benjamin basically nailed it portraying Hendrix.  He even learned to play guitar left-handed for this film.  Unfortunately the film was full of historical inaccuracies and due to it not being approved by his estate, the soundtrack featured none of his music.

Nightcrawler.

Jake Gyllenhaal pretty much nailed creepy sociopath.  Good movie.

Also just saw it last night. I agree. I think I'd give it 4 stars out of 5 which is very rare for me. Very few movies get more than 3 from me and VERY few get 5.

I'd give it 4 as well.  I live in LA and thought it was great that they used all the real TV news people and shot a lot of it in Studio City where I live.

Into The Storm.

I hadn't heard of this movie until I saw it but... wow. Honestly I eat things like this up. It's right up my street. And... well, it's incredible. Such a fantastic, awesome movie I'm going to watch it again. Very few movies leave me open-mouthed and utterly absorbed in them but this one did. I think the last one which incited so much jaw-dropping was Gravity.

Think Twister but with less cheese and more awesome.

Very, very highly recommended.
