I saw War Dogs last week. I got my money's worth.
Sausage party was ridiculous. I laughed till I cried at the end. We burned 2 free tickets going to see it. While I had a good time it was one i would rather have waited till it came out on video.

Kubo and the 2 strings is a most excellent movie, amazing stop motion animation film that is better in experience than anything currently out...it is a film about dealing with death and passing on, not your typical CG kids film that simplifies/plays down things to kids (like PIXAR and its ilk.) And that Regina Spektor cover of "While my guitar gently weeps" ending song...
"While My Guitar Gently Weeps"
One of the best films I've seen in a long time...
As mentioned I saw Hell or High Water. Good flick, and it is somewhat similar in style to No Country for Old Men. It might be a bit slow for some. Good acting, good characters, good story, has action and humerous parts (certainly not a comedy though). It seems to miss the Excellent mark by a tiny bit (needed a bit more of a few things).
I would say, I suspect a good description of some of the movie is that it is very "Texas" (which is were it takes place of course), which is not a bad thing. You will know what I mean when you see it and where most of the humerous parts come from.

Yeah, the ending song was incredible and very appropriate. I need to remember to track it down and grab it from iTunes when I'm on wifi (only seem to remember when I'm not at home...). I don't think I've seen any of Laika's previous movies but may have to track one or two of them down (most people have said the Coraline is the best of them besides Kubo).
Saw Kubo last night. We're big fans of stop motion and Laika studios. It was an amazing piece of art but I felt like the story wasn't as good as Coraline, or maybe even the Box Trolls. Still worth seeing because the visuals are amazing.
We saw Suicide Squad last weekend. I liked it. It was fun. Stuff blew up, the visuals were strong, the Joker went down a whole different alley of crazy. It was not what you'd call great cinema though. Good for a Saturday matinee.

That's because Coraline started life as a Neil Gaiman book.
