I saw The Imitation Game the other day. I mostly just thought it was boring.
Afterwards, I looked up Enigma and Turing etc. on Wikipedia, where the articles on them are really good and long and complicated and interesting.
In conclusion, I wish The Imitation Game had just been a documentary about the whole thing, and fuck all the made-up shit they did.

The Babadook

as someone else said here, falls apart towards the end a bit. couple of tweaks here and there and this could have been really good.

Spoiler

the first encounter of the thing as a cgi blob on the roof. and that bit in the car. ffs. would have been much better to have a creepy ass costume lurking in places

I ended up watching The hunt for red October, jesus what an awful pile of wank; pretty funny though.
The night before I saw The Seventh Seal, which I'd never seen before, great film!

This film really was a despicable piece of shit.

The Mask of Fu Manchu (1932)

Good old fashioned pulp thriller starring Boris Karloff as the titular bad guy. Lots of weird torture and sadomasochistic overtones.

This film really was a despicable piece of shit.

I actually felt nauseous watching it, the shakey camera work

Yeah it was muck. I hate found footage movies. Every second horror movie released these days is some kind of found footage possession movie. Which is why The Babadook was so refreshing - the level of craft involved.

Did you see Cold in July? Of a similar ilk. I preferred Cold in July. Loved that authentic B movie feel.

Black Sea

Jude Law is Scottish and on a submarine looking to salvage some Nazi gold. Naturally, all does not go according to plan.

This film is real good craic. Nice and atmospheric/claustrophobic, it's pretty well put together as long as you let yourself go with it.
Of course, the best thing is that Michael Smiley is in it, and as usual, he is FUCKING AMAZING and doesn't even try to hide his accent. Legend.

Predestination. Australian time travel movie with Ethan Hawke trying to stop a mad bomber, based on a Heinlein story All You Zombies. Within 10 minutes of it starting I knew exactly how it was going to play out but enjoyed it all the same.
