Birdman

Rating: 9.5

Such an intelligent script and ambitious undertaking!  Beautiful script, acting, cinematography.  Masterpiece.

Interstellar

Rating: 7

Premise is good. Relativity of time stuff, good.  Dialogue, cliched.  Acting, meh.  It got me thinking, though, and I like that.

Nightcrawler

Rating: 9.5

I think it ties with Birdman as my favorite movie of the year (so far.)  It does the job of skewering the media that was semi-successfully attempted in Gone Girl.  Jake G's performance is one of the creepiest characters I've seen on screen. Cinematography is to die for.

Gone Girl

Rating: 6

I feel the same about the book and the movie: trashy, silly fun.

Boyhood

Rating: 9

Pretty mind-blowing to watch a child grow up and his family age on film. I've never seen anything like it. Captivating.

Kill The Messenger

Rating: 6

I wish it was a little more original.

Fascinating story, well done doc.
