Your main complaint is shared by quite a few BSG fans Para. As for me personally, I liked BSG just as much at the end of the series as I did in the beginning. What can I say? Everyone has a different cup of tea.  I don't think Para Bellum would have liked Caprica.  Yeah I'd say that's a safe bet.

Raging Bull, finally. Then sat back and watched a few of Jake LaMottas fights on the tube. I thought Pesci was nearly better than De Niro myself

A movie called "Her". An interesting scfi drama. About a lonely guy who's girlfriend is a computer operating system capable of learning called OS1. Worth a view at a very possible look at the future

Reng� kantai shirei ch�kan: Yamamoto Isoroku
Japanese movie (2011) about Admiral Yamamoto. Some decent CGI including some aerial fighting but all in all a rather slow, dialogue-heavy movie. The character of Yamamoto appears very much idealized, a thoughtful man always fighting for peace under difficult circumstances. As with most Japanese WW2 movies I miss a bit a more critical approach to the subject.
I'd rate it 6/10. 7/10 for history buffs.

I really like the actor who portrayed Yamamoto in "Tora Tora Tora". Actually that entire Japanese cast was very good.

Yep, that cast was excellent.
I think that Koji Yakusho did a good job in the Yamamoto movie, but the script could've been much better.

Dallas Buyers Club (2013)http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0790636/Decent movie but not worthy of a Best Picture Oscar Nomination. By the time it ended, it felt disjointed. I give it 3.75/5

12 Years a Slave (2013)http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2024544A very emotionally difficult movie to watch yet it still doesn't minimize the importance of its historical value and the scope of its dramatic impact. If this film sweeps the Academy this year, it will be very well deserved. 4.75/5
