    The week they announced the new cast, I immediately checked out Attack the Block and Inside Llewyn Davis.

    Both are okay films for what they set out to do. But the standout performances by Boyega in Block and Oscar Isaac in Davis make it worth your while to check the flicks out.

    Attack the Block is like The Goonies if they were English street punks who have a run-in with some aliens that proceed to terrorize their project housing complex. The accents tripped me up a bit, all the kids talk fast in some sorta UK regional accent. Boyega is the alpha male. Very charismatic and tough as nails. A young Russell Crowe/Tom Hardy vibe. The visual effects on the aliens are also memorable.

    Inside Llewyn Davis is a very strange period piece. After watching it, I really had no idea what the Coens were saying. The message seemed to be, life sucks... esp. if you're an washed up folk singer who's kind of a jerk. Again though, totally worth it for Oscar Isaac. He's sooooo good in this. Also, bonus and super fun Episode VII moment: there's a jam session in the film with Isaac and Adam Driver and (if I recall correctly Justin Timberlake)... yeah, go watch it.

    I have been meaning to watch the recent Robin Hood movie with Russell Crowe as I've read the movie is sorta blast but Isaac plays a pretty good villain. He's also in Drive btw but everyone has seen that.

    Now someone get Viral to make a slave Leia badge already! Lolz

    Why do I get the feeling they're going to do a really good job of making a character we'll all like, only to kill him/her off in the third act...

    All I know is JJ ruined my beloved Alias starting in Season 3. Irina had a daughter with Sloane? BARF. I once wrote a letter to the editor in our local paper that was published about JJ and how his tv series' start out strong but then become so complicated with nonsense and certain plotlines are never addressed. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed that with one of the most celebrated stories in cinema, he has to stay within certain parameters. Let's just say I hope he didn't have free reign with that script. Totally creative guy, but his ideas can be all over the place with no satisfying resolution. Again, that's television - very different from the film sphere.

    I would, to a point, have to agree... but he redeemed himself with LOST, I think learning from his mistakes

    I agree. Alias was his big first one.

    It's produced by Edger Wright if that means anything to you guys...

    It's a very charming sci-fi film with a lot of heart. A fun underdog alien invasion movie.
