^ I really enjoyed Arrival, but yeah, had forgotten about it since :D
(But that's the way with almost all movies I watch...)
I think the main problem is / was expectations -- it wasn't what many expected from that 'type' of film

Same here, Arrival was forgettable - not having read anything about it beforehand I was expecting a remake of The Arrival.

The Best Offer
Recently caught this on Netflix.
Enjoyable mystery about an eccentric art expert and auctioneer (played by veteran actor Jeffrey Rush) who is asked by a clinically agoraphobic and enigmatic heiress (Dutch actress Sylvia Hoeks) to arrange for the sale of a large part of her inherited collection of art and antiques. Hard to talk about it without giving the plot away. Suffice to say it was one of the better mystery movies to come out in some time. I figured it out (or more correctly hypothesized three possible endings which included the correct one) before it was over. But that didn't take anything away from the enjoyment, or the rather artistic cinematography in the picture. Recommended. :Thmbsup: :Thmbsup:

I finally saw Shin Godzilla
I really enjoyed it. It broke the mold for Toho G flicks. The ending seemed to beg for a sequel. It will be fun if they follow it up. Twelve years is too long between "episodes" though. Toho has to learn it must toe the line by keeping us supplied with Tokyo stomping special effects. :)
