We started to watch something called The Remaining yesterday, our friend rented it thinking it was a straight-up horror flick. Ten minutes in we realized it was evangelical christianist propaganda. Who knew Sony has a label "Affirm Films" that churns this shit out?
Ditched that and went to the other flick he rented, The Dallas Buyers' Club. That was pretty good. Jared Leto, particularly, was pretty convincing. I read after that both he and Matthew McConaughey lost tons of weight for their roles, the latter to the point where his eyesight started to fail. I know there was some grumbling about the fact that they didn't have Leto's character, who was trangender, played by a trans actor, but as it was, it was still pretty good.
