It's been a while since I've posted here, so here are the last few movies I've seen...
The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)
Loved it. One of Wes Anderson's absolute best. The cast was amazing and the direction, as usual, was whimsical and wonderful. If you're a Wes Anderson fan, then it's absolutely a must-see for you.
4.5/5

The Raid: Redemption (2011)
I was absolutely blown away by this incredibly tight, well-directed, well-acted, and well-choreographed action flick. Gripping, tense, and some really incredible action sequences. I'm glad that I finally saw this; The director directed my favorite short out of both VHS movies, "Sanctuary;" it was really cool to see his first film. Really psyched to see the second movie (wish I had caught it in theaters!)
I highly recommend this one, guys. Seek it out.
5/5.

The Battery (2012)
I had a friend recommend this to me as being "one of the best recent horror movies that they have seen in a LONG time"... and... eh... I mean, it wasn't bad, it just didn't knock my socks off like I expected it to with that praise. I think that if you enjoy The Walking Dead, you'd enjoy this as it has more to do with the humdrum of surviving the zombie apocalypse. Honestly, though, I couldn't stand one of the characters (though Jeremy Gardner was fantastic and totally steals the show)... The soundtrack was also killer and I constantly have the song overplaying the trailer stuck in my head...
I think that a lot of people on here will dig it, so please seek it out if you haven't already... I was just a little bored by it and found it so/so. The good news is that it's not just your average run-of-the-mill zombie flick... At least they're trying to do something different...
3/5

Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father (2008)
Incredibly moving documentary. Bring your box of tissues. I don't want to say much more because I think the less you know, the greater impact it has.
4/5.
