Rush: 7.5/10

pretty good.

Prisoners: 7.5/10

At moments it was very Silence of the Lambs, but it wasn't up to the level of that film. It did have it's moments though, but maybe a plot twist too many.

Metallica, Through the Never - storyline . . . what storyline? It has ear-numbing Metallica songs, played at a volume loud enough to be heard at the concessions line. The concert is obviously staged, but looks 99% just like a real concert. For what it is (never going to win an award at Cannes), 8/10.

Rush - 9/10 - Great story. Glosses over a few facts (Lauda actually bought his way into Formula 2/3 initially, Lauda doesn't "retire" from racing after the '76 season), but you only notice if you are an F1 fanatic. Good enough mushy storyline to appeal to females, great action that appeals to males. But, the best thing is that Ron Howard and the writers do a great job of not making an obvious "villain" and "hero" out of the main characters. They are both flawed - I actually liked and identified with Lauda more than Hunt.

Now You See Me - 9.5/10 - Best movie I've watched all year. Totally unpredictable, fast paced, good writing, good story.

Good news about Rush. Going to have to see that one. But...Gravity takes priority. Finally, I might be getting my awesome scifi flick this year. If that actually counts as such.
