It's awesome. We recently bought the Essential Universal monsters box set on bluray. We'll be introducing them to the classics over the x-mas holiday.
I introduced my7 yr old granddaughter to JP a couple of weeks ago. She enjoyed it but don't think she understood the whole DNA thing nor what the programmer Dennis was doing to steal it. I was afraid she would be scared but turns out she was totally fine with it.

Her (2014) - 9/10

A very understated science fiction movie written and directed by Spike Jonze. Joaquin Phoenix plays a man who falls in love with the intelligent operating system of his computer, which leads him to reevaluate his relationships with people.

Christmas Movie Night with the wife...

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation & Die Hard. No need to rate them. They're the perfect holiday films!

Foxcatcher - 8/10

A true story about two bothers training for the '88 US Olympic Wrestling team. The movie provides a fascinating look into competitive wrestling. It's a slow burn but overall a compelling movie with a truly standout performance from Steve Carell. I wouldn't be surprised if he is nominated for a Golden Globe or Oscar.

I gave this one the same rating. Great movie.

The Theory Of Everything (2014) - A look at the relationship between the famous physicist Stephen Hawking and his wife.

I don't know much about Stephen Hawking's personal life so this being a sad romance surprised me. 8/10

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) - 6.5/10

I'm a HUGE fan of movies that feature little creatures or monsters ( Critters, Gremlins, etc.). So I figured this movie would be right up my alley, and it was, kind of. It lacked the comedy element that similar movies from the 80's had, and is more a straight forward horror movie. Also wish it had utilized practical effects/puppets, another thing that makes those older little creature features so great IMO. But overall pretty good.

The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) - 6/10

A very interesting story, but too over the top even for the situations described. Also, did it really need to be 3 hours?
