    I watched Netflix' Rim of the World which is a deliciously cheesy B movie. It's a 1980s style kid's camp movie mixed with a 1980s style sci-fi movie mixed with a 1980s coming of age movie. Three great tastes that taste great together. It's definitely not particularly good, but it's stylish and fun. If you like other McG movies, I recommend watching it.

    I watched I Am Mother on Netflix. In a dystopian future, a robot raises and cares for a young woman. I thought it was a good movie, and would recommend it if you watched Ex Machina and enjoyed it....

    I thought it was a good movie, and would recommend it if you watched Ex Machina and enjoyed it. It is of the same caliber; at no point is it a stand-out "must see" movie, but it is quietly interesting, well directed, well acted, and has a compelling story.

    I watched Leave No Trace from Debra Granik (that also did Winter's Bone), it's about a broken veteran that try to live out of society with his daughter. It's based on a book and some reals stories. It's in the social realism vein, trying to depict these type of people accurately, while still being aesthetically pleasant and avoiding pathos. The actors are really good (the young kiwi girl playing the daughter is amazing for her first movie), the pace is slow, the story subdued, but I wasn't bored.

    I'm quite desperate with US movies (too many super heroes & bad SF) but that's a movie that gave me back a bit of hope.
