When a small town comes under siege by zombies, who can it call? Only misunderstood local boy Norman, who is able to speak with the dead. In addition to the zombies, he'll have to take on ghosts, witches and, worst, of all, grown-ups, …
Really cute movie!! Going to see The Apparition tomorrow. Yayy!!!!

Saw Mr. Nobody on You Tube last night and this morning, in bed on the laptop with headphones.
Am watching Beginners right now, a Netflix choice. Ewan McGregor plays the son of an elderly man (Christopher Plummer), who comes out at the age of 75, when his wife dies.
It's very beautiful, all amber and pale blue, and I adore McGregor and Plummer, but the quietness of it is making me impatient. That might be because I'm finally moving out of a frozen state and I can't stand stasis in any form.
The dreamy piano score is nice, though. I have plenty of patience for that.

I went on a date with myself (yay, no sharing popcorn :D) yesterday and saw the documentary, Imposter. It was fascinating. It's about a family whose child goes missing at the age of 13. Then four years later, a guy in his early twenties, pretends to be the family's missing child and manages to con his way into their home and hearts. It's a creepy movie with lots of twists and turns and it's all real!
Here's a link to the movie website below:
http://imposterfilm.com/synopsis/
Sadly it shows how a desperate family can be deluded into believing a dangerous stranger is their missing son.
Today I watched "Children of the Corn" (based on Stephen King's short story) on DVD. It had lost all the enjoyable fright it generated in me when I was much younger. Oh, well, still a good time :)

BB and I had a date night. We went to see "Hope Springs," the movie starring Merryl Streep (love her!) and Tommy Lee Jones. This was a "BB choice." BB likes romantic comedies, specifically what are referred to in this culture as "chick flicks." I do not! Give me a horror, a dark or highly stupid comedy, a documentary, or an indie/alternative type movie! Anyway, BB was so appreciative that I accompanied hym. Don't tell, but... it really wasn't too bad! It's about an older married couple who have lost that spark and go away for a week of intensive couple's therapy.

Going to see 2016: Obama's America, tomorrow...would have gone today but Arc had to work OT...
Last night was date night.... after getting lost in the DC burbs (more than once), we made it while previews were still running...
Film was great, pretty accurate historically (although many of the other prominent moon-shining families were left out) and the soundtrack is amazing. It is always interesting to see films that are reflective of part of our personal/family histories... much of mine is rooted firmly in the various wars and struggles of the Appalachian Mountains.
Highly recommend... Lawless

Journey 2
Michael Caine, The Rock.
Ok it is a kids movie but it was very entertaining. Loved the mini elephants, giant bees, the reawakening of the Nautilus.
The Manhattan Project
John Lithgow.
Old, old movie about a kid who steals some plutonium to make his own nuclear bomb for the science fair. When I was young, I thought this kind of story line was so cool. Now, of course, I think this damn kid is costing taxpayers a fortune trying to track him down and disarm that bomb. :seeingstars: Interestingly, one of the kids is a teenage Cynthia Nixon. Took me a while to connect the annoying voice to the face tho.

As a Canadian I have heard of Fred Phelps, but never truly understood how extreme he was.
I am watching 'Fall from Grace' and am absolutely disgusted. In Canada we have free speech, but we are not allowed to spew hate without repercussion. We cannot hide behind a "first amendment right".
It is sad to see that amount of hate being spewed at anyone.
The documentary is interesting, and scary at the same time.

The Devil Inside...with Fernanda Andrade and Simon Quarterman
Cabin in the Woods...I liked it because it was different not your usual horror flick and it tied a lot of classics together in my opinion
watching The Devil's Rejects now on IFC...if you like Rob Zombie I recommend this one if you do NOT like graphic violence it may not be for you
Oh and to show I have a varied taste watched the Color Purple and Driving Miss Daisy this past weekend again...

Tower Heist... Ben Still & Eddie Murphy {{Had quite a few laughs, enjoyed how the Plot progressed.The very end could've been better, but cant look a gift horse in the mouth, I guess}}
Get the Gringo... Mel Gibson {{The title was a big turn-off, glad I gave it a chance...a bit of everything w/o overplaying it..Comedy, Action, a lil bit of corny drama...Gibson's character reminded me a little of Riggs from the Lethal Weapon movies, but on the wrong side of the fence...pretty good, better on blu-ray}}
btw, Jude Law was hella better than RDJr, after all he *is* british....to my understanding, Watson generally is the more credible detective, rather than a sidekick to be mocked....

We went friday night, but ten minutes into the movie the fire alarms went off. We were told to go home and come back the next day and they would either refund our money or let us see the movie. We saw the movie.
We were going to do a "double feature" but the Vanderbuilt police had the theater armed and secured all around, so we couldn't sneak across the concessions to the other side of the theater. Sigh. Life after Batman.

Adepero Oduye, as Anelle...{awesome acting in the film "Pariah", multi-award nominated too, well deserved}
A rather oddly pleasant surprise actually, good acting again...
If you've seen "Eat Drink Man Woman"...and "Tortilla Soup"
You'll see the plot doesn't deviate much other than the cultures and location...
It's somewhat the same between this remake of the Original....

Argo, and I really enjoyed it.
Two favourite lines from the movie.
"No, Canadians don't pronounce the T, it's Torono."
and
"Argo fuck yourself."
The movie reminded me again why we should never believe anything in the media. I thought it was well acted and very enjoyable.
I have to say that you Americans are on a more patriotic kick then usual. Every movie for the last two years has been how great the Americans are and how amazing your military is, but the coming line up is All American All the Time. Even more Yankee Doodle Dandy then usual. Not a slam, just an observation.

It is an adaption of a Clive Barker short story about a photographer that becomes obsessed with a serial killer. It was actually pretty good and not as gory as some I watch..hey this one had a plot.

Thanks for the heads up, but I HAVE to watch it because of Alien.
I've seen every Alien movie and not seeing this will create a gigantic void which I am afraid I will forever be lost.

"Francis"
A true account based on the life of the 1930's actress Francis Farmer, who actually was forced to have a labotomy against her will. The once vivacious, full-spirited, woman was never the same again. Jessica Lang plays Francis..and she did an incredible job.

No laughing now: Magic Mike. Directed by Steven A. Soderbergh.
I though Soderbergh would have given the film more depth but no, he did not.
Unless you want to see bunch of half-naked, bio-male strippers, I would skip this one.
I will say that Matthew McConaughey is starting to look a little too old in the face for a movie with no gravitas.
However, his body remains sublime.

I absolutely adored this movie:
http://blog.disneystore.com/.a/6a013481198b41970c016767c400f7970b-500wi
This one, not so much:
http://content6.flixster.com/movie/11/16/75/11167520_det.jpg
I'm fairly certain that this was written originally as a 102 minute commercial, before they added some catchy phrases and a plethora of lines that were way to easy to take out of context (I usually love this, but not during this movie).
There were so many prominent displays of brand names in this movie, that I was just as disgusted by it as I am by watching cable television programs on cable (I usually wait for 3 seasons of a show to come out before bothering to look for it on Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon).
I stopped counting after the first 20 minutes, but during that 20 minutes there were close ups of Costco, Budweiser, Hennessy, Ford, Chevrolet, and a very clear mention of Relaxtheback.com.
I was also pretty disgusted by the blatant sexism, and bigotry masquerading as comedy in this film.
Very disappointing.

Most favorites recently -
Snow Flower and the secret fan, Stars on earth, The song of sparrows, Children of heaven, Beating drum, My name is Khan.
I like movies that are visually stimulating. Therefore, I watch a lot international films. I am a big big big fan of narrative movies - such as the collection made by the writer of Weeping Camel and the Yellow Cave Dog.
And... of course when I am feeling less charismatic and more devilish...

2 hours of my life that I will NEVER get back.... :(
2016 Obama's America: love him, hate him, you don't know him.
Based on the work of Dinesh D'Souza, 2016: Obama's America is the highest-grossing conservatively-slanted documentary of all time. It lays out what D'Souza believes Obama would do in a second term as President of the United States. He bases his conclusions on Obama's father's anti-colonialism and on Obama's purported psychological desire to fulfill his father's dream of diminishing the power of Western imperial states. The film is arresting in its presentation and sobering in its conclusions.
Odd movie. Might be good if you like conspiracy type documentaries. Feels quite racist as well.
Firelight
Cuba Gooding, Jr.
The incarcerated girls and young women come from troubled - often violent -backgrounds. "They come in so broken...These are girls who've been abused and objectified their whole lives." The film illustrates how many of the young women achieve salvation through joining an elite band of volunteers tasked with battling forest fires, building hiking trails in remote areas and assisting during natural disasters.
Very touching.

Cloud Atlas
"Synopsis:
From acclaimed filmmakers Lana Wachowski, Tom Tykwer, and Andy Wachowski, the powerful and inspiring epic drama “Cloud Atlas” explores how the actions and consequences of individual lives impact one another throughout the past, the present and the future.
Action, mystery and romance weave dramatically through the story as one soul is shaped from a killer into a hero, and a single act of kindness ripples across centuries to inspire a revolution in the distant future."
I enjoyed Cloud Atlas and a month later, I am still thinking about it. I think it is a brilliant film.
Seeking a friend for the end of the world.
Steve Carell, Keira Knightly, Martin Sheen
Comedy that explores the crazy things people do when humanitys last days are near.
Weird, interesting, sweet, exceptional soundtrack.
DJango unchained
Lots of violence and really disturbing images
I have yet to get out of my head.
If you like hearing the n word 100+ times mixed in with humor
at really odd times you might like it.
If it doesnt bother you to hear white people laughing at the n word
with ease it might be your kind of movie.
Definately not geared for a thinking audience.
I want my money back.

I agree! "Skyfall" was fab-u-lous! I especially liked the fact (not giving anything away here) that the character of the villain was well developed to the point of almost some sympathy.
"Life of Pi" was torture to sit through. Only the promise of more milkduds got me to sit still.
"Wreck it Ralph" had some adult laughs and not torture to sit through (as some kiddie flicks are). Kids loved it.

I saw Les Miserables in the cinema the other night and was not impressed.
It was a very well made (and expensive looking) film, and it is likely to pick up Oscar nominations for art direction and related cinematography and design pieces. but I felt it lost all the magic of the theatrical production and all of the substance of the book.
I was sorely disappointed.
And while I thought both Jackman and Hathaway should be commended for their efforts, because they clearly tried really hard, they did not do the libretto justice; and Crowe was truly awful, murdered "Stars". The actor who sang Marius' role went very Kermit the Frog in his falsetto which was cringe worthy (to me). The two younger women who sang Cosett and Eponine were both very talented though. And the ensemble cast seemed stacked with Broadway cast members, they were the highlight for me.
By the end my bum was numb, I had to wee desperately, I was irritated and i couldn't wait for it to be over.

Ruby Sparks
A once famous young novelist with writers block and a lackluster love life, creates and brings to life a woman who inspires his writing and his life.
Simple, magical concept but this does an excellent job exploring relationships, especially in accepting and appreciating people for who they are rather than trying to change them into who and what we want them to be.
Was kind of cute and sweet and painful.
yesterday I saw Les Miserables and Django

Last night I saw the new "Texas Chainsaw" movie in 3-D.
I liked it because they didn't re-tell the same old, and tired story...it was more of a continuation of the original film from the 1970's.
Les Misérables.
I loved it, I've seen it on and off broadway probably 5 times now. I have been signing the entire musical since I was 17. It's my all time favorite musical.
I hear what everyone is saying, and was disappointed with Crowe's singing. However I felt like they all did a good job considering they aren't professional singers, and they did it all live. Even Crowe worked well with what he had, even if he did destroy Stars and it broke my heart a little
Loved Eponine, who has always been my favorite. She nailed the part.
Before that I saw the Hobbit on Xmas.
One of my favorite books, I was underwhelmed by the movie. Don't know if its cause of all the extra bits they put in there, or how they moved stuff around, or it's just a case of I've seen dwarfs and hobbits already - you don't impress me now. Either way I was not real happy with the movie as a whole.

i was less than impressed as well
the whole i'm just a hobbit wha wha wha followed by a fantastical action scene and repeated over and over for 3hrs was exhausting and the story didn't go anywhere - to be continued....
golem was a highlight but that might be on account of my brain picturing him with honey boo boo's face

I've started a new ritual for myself, Friday Movie Night. I start to get excited, on Thursday. On Friday, as soon as I get to work, I pick a movie, get the ticket on Fandango and bolt out of the office at 5.
For the last three weeks I've seen Life of Pi (liked the book better, but also enjoyed the movie), Lincoln (Tony Kushner's screenplay, the elevated 19th-century dialogue, is TOTALLY natural, incredibly engaging; Daniel Day Lewis if fucking riveting, incredibly diminutive and forceful at the same time while Sally Fields is absolutely chilling and believable as Mary Todd), and Django (as I wrote on the gun thread, I think the NRA will love it, because it will excite people to acquire a stash of guns out of either racism or because they think it makes them a sexy bad ass).
Of the three I definitely appreciated Lincoln the most.

I agree but to me it needed more 3D action.

I saw 'Life of Pi' last weekend, it is a beautifully made film and I'm glad I saw it in the cinema. I didn't mind the 3D either (I don't usually enjoy 3D in live action films, because they make me queasy).
I loved the book, and as is the norm, the film didnt convey the depth of the book; but despite that it is a beautiful film that stands on its own.
This long weekend we're going to see 'Silver Lining Playbook'.
And I am going to try to get to see either 'The Impossible' (which I'm somewhat dreading but completely compelled to see) or 'Anna Karenina'.

'Silver Lining Playbook' was a GREAT film!
Worth the hype and definitely earned its Oscar nominations!
Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper are awesome! Robert DeNiro and Jacki Weaver are wonderful.
And the writing is excellent. It deals with really hard issues with honesty (sometimes uncomfortably so) and humour and love.
I really loved this film. It is my favorite of all the films that received several nominations (that I've seen).

Off to see the 'The Impossible' with my Best Femme and her wife this afternoon.
It's going to be difficult to watch. I knew a family that was in Thailand on holiday during the tsunami; Jane and one of her daughters were never found. :(
I watched Taken 2 last night. It was a good movie, not as good as the first, but still a good movie.

I recently stumbled on a movie on cable called, Nowhere Boy, about John Lennon when he was a young lad up to when he formed The Beatles. It was really good, sad too. Great movie.
Flight was just released on DVD. Anyone seen it? Any good?
thanks ....

Collateral
Not a Tom Cruise fan, but it had lots of others in it as well. Jamie Foxx.
Didn't catch the beginning, one of those channel flipping moments...but it held my attention and the story was all over so Cali, places I knew :)

we managed to get away to the theater couple of weeks ago, this first movie was awsome...
Les Miserable
:hamactor:
the second, well lets just say, I am glad we snuck in there for free because I would have been very upset to have paid for 96 minutes of crap that I could have watched on FOX for free....
Movie 43 - ick.

On DVD - The House at The End of The Street (2012) - and it was better than I expected it to be

'Beasts of the Southern Wilds'
It is a beautiful, sad, hopeful and imaginative film; and that little girl is one helluva an actress.
The Oscar's Best Actress nominee pool is pretty damn AMAZING this year.

I watched "Melancholia" today and got very emotionally involved with it. It's an intense film. A little hard to explain to those who haven't seen it. I had to follow that with an old favorite, "Beetlejuice" just to lighten the mood. lol!

Dark Skies.
Red Dawn
I'm not fond of remakes but this one was pretty good. Good action, mediocre acting, hideous dialogue. In this film, it is the North Koreans who invade Washington state.
Still prefer the 1984 version when the Soviets took on Patrick Swayze, C. Thomas Howell, Lea Thompson, Charlie Sheen Jennifer Grey, Harry Dean Stanton, and Powers Boothe.

The Sessions
Paralyzed and confined to an iron lung since childhood, poet-journalist Mark O'Brien has overcome adversity time and time again. But now, at age 38, he faces his toughest challenge yet: losing his virginity. With the help of a beautiful therapist, a sympathetic priest, and his own unbridled sense of optimism and humor, Mark embarks on an extraordinary personal journey to discover the wondrous pleasures that make life worth living.
William H. Macy, John Hawkes, Moon Bloodgood, Helen Hunt
------------------
Helen Hunt as the sex therapist really augmented this movie. Or, maybe her nakedness augmented this movie. Still deciding.

I watched Trespass...
A movie with Nick Cage and Nicole Kidman that I never even heard was made...for good reason...it wasn't great...
the last GOOD movie I watched was The River Why... it's on netflix also :)
Django Unchained...
That was an Awesome Film, I think one of the better ones of Tarantino ever{Reservoir Dogs & Kill Bill 1+2being the others}
It had my attention from the beginning{although, as usual, Quentin's choice of soundtrack reeks}, the blood splattering is signature, the Humor's awesome..
And, like me, Tarantino must've really hated the game of Candyland at some point...
Jamie Foxx rawked the role{the blue suit was very amusing, it doesn't last long, sadly}, Samuel Jackson was perfect as the senior house slave, attitude and all.

Stumbled across this low budget horror with Lance Henriksen. I'll give anything with "Bishop" a chance ( plus, I loved Pumpkinhead).
I was pleasantly surprised.
Well shot, with a few rough edges ( I hate when I see Boom mic's in the frame!) But over all, well worth a viewing if you're a horror aficionado :)
Argo
Was kind of disappointed. Reminded me a lot of a reverse Wag the Dog.
