Movies of March

300: Rise of an Empire (2014) - Cool visuals, lots of blood, great guy movie when enjoyed with copious amounts of alcohol. If not, it kinda sucks.
Robocop (2014) - Terrible.
La Grande Belleza (2013) - Amazing film, highly recommend this. A new Italian classic, and true to its Italian nature it takes the time to show beautiful shots, scenes and tell a simple story.
12 years a slave (2013) - Fun for the whole family!
Bottle Rocket (1996) - Very cool to see Wes Anderson exploring his style, this movie shows him still being careful. But it lives and breathes Wes Anderson.
The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) - Second time I watched this, still amazing. Great visuals, original characters. Just awesome.
Thor: The Dark World (2013) - I was looking for a bad movie to watch under the pleasure of a few cold ones, Thor: The Dark World delivered.
Ride Along (2014) - Terrible, but they know it. And because they make fun of themselves, it's also terribly entertaining. 
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004) - Definitely one of the weirder movies I've seen, but lots of fun. This was the last Wes Anderson film I still had to see.
Veronica Mars (2014) - Entertaining, the story behind this movie is more interesting than the movie itself tho. The majority of the funding was achieved through a 'kickstarter' project with fans of the TV-show demanding a film.
American Hustle (2014) - Pretty cool, it was all orchestrated very well, and thoroughly entertaining. But for me I doubt I'll ever consider this movie very noteworthy.

Some bad movies, some great. If you're gonna watch only one of these films, I'd grab a coin and let fate decide between The Grand Budapest Hotel and La Grande Belleza.
