I thought X-Men was a Marvel comic, Fox film production?
It is indeed Marvel but it's generally as bad these days as the worst DC movies.
I haven't enjoyed an X-Men movie since first class

How this was so well reviewed is beyond me.
Love this. Can't remember if it's 21 or 22 with the end roller counting up through the sequels. So funny21 Jump Street - 10/10. They really caught lightning in a bottle with this one. The characters are believable, there is a fair bit of heart / some feels and oodles of utterly bizarre, seemingly completely ab libbed dialogue. There are soooo many funny lines. I don’t know why I feel the need to list my favourites but:
It’s 22 with that ending. Love it when Seth Rogan shows upLove this. Can't remember if it's 21 or 22 with the end roller counting up through the sequels. So funny
I feel like it's one that, in common with many coen brothers films, really benefits from subsequent viewings. The more I watch it, the more I like it!The Big Lebowski - I’d never seen this before. Dumb character gets caught up in absurd caper and bumbles his way through with his absurd bumbling friends. Absolute nonsense, very funny and something about it made me think there was something ‘very clever’ going on that was just beyond my grasp. Or maybe it was all just a nonsense. More than anything, it DID make me feel good. Just the way this man was seemingly content with his simple existence. Just living and not worrying. How interesting...
Good film

The Head Hunter.
Not everyone likes indie movies. They're an acquired taste, and many of them (if not most) them are pretty awful. But the gems are out there if you look for them.
I'm an indie movie fan, and I'm here to tell you that if you see only one indie movie this year, it should be The Head Hunter.
The best part about this movie is the fact that it was made on a budget of just $30,000, but enjoys the look and feel of a film produced in Hollywood for 1,000 times that amount.
Obviously they had to cut corners somewhere. Here's how they did it:
* a cast of 3
* only one speaking part
* running time of just 72 minutes
* filmed entirely on location in Portugal
The Head Hunter is extremely ambitious for a micro-budget indie movie, but it fulfills those ambitions with tremendous gravitas. Critically, it holds fast to the golden rule of cinematic exposition: show, don't tell. The short running time allows for very little context (we're thrown into the deep end right from the start) but The Head Hunter drip feeds enough background information to fill in the blanks.
The climax is stunning, and took my breath away.
I rate The Head Hunter at 29.97 on the Haglee Scale, which works out as an incredible 9/10 on IMDB.

Absolutely brilliant!
Saw this last night and sure, as you say, it's a low budget indie film but what they do with that budget is phenomenal. Definitely recommend you put this on your 'one to watch' list.
