Saw the movie Boyhood. Sorry I wasted 2 hours of my day. :(

YES, so glad it just wasn't me who felt that way!

(2 hours and 45 minutes to be exact if you're counting, and believe me after about an hour you will)

OH! I loved it!

It was very long, but I watched it at home, and took a couple of mid-movie breaks to cook dinner and make a phone call, so it didn't feel interminable to me at all.

I really appreciated the simple beauty of it.

I also saw the 'Imitation Game' recently. I liked it because I'm really happy Alan Turing's story is being told, but it felt more like a 2-part Masterpiece Theatre production, rather than a feature film. And while I'm grateful Turing's story is being told and he is being recognized for his genius and his incredible accomplishments - I was disappointed that they glossed over/barely touched upon the tragic end of his life, the government administered chemical castration, the loss of his career, the loss of his motor functions, the scorn of society - all because he was gay.

This tells the story of a strong friendship between a young boy with Morquio's syndrome and an older boy who is always bullied because of his size.

Cake with Jennifer Aniston.

I know that there was a big push to nominate her for an academy award but I think that the right decision to not nominate her, was made in this case, IMHO.

Fake scars on her face: check.
Grief: check
Chronic pain: check.

All of these issues are serious and profoundly difficult to deal with in RL, however, none were believable, to me, in this movie.

When The Game Stands Tall

In 2003, high-school football coach Bob Ladouceur (Jim Caviezel) and his De La Salle Spartans have just completed an incredible 151 consecutive victories and 12-straight state championships. While the team's seniors receive offers from colleges all over the country, the advancing juniors look forward to making their mark. However, beloved "Coach Lad" has a brush with calamity, while the Spartans face their most-challenging, most-unpredictable season yet.

Watched a documentary entitled, "50 Italian Men". The film documents the efforts of some Italian diplomats and military members to save the lives of Jewish persons who had sought their protection in Italian occupied areas during WWII. It always moves me deeply to see the personal risks some people will take simply because it is "the right thing to do".

The Duke of Burgundy

Per Rotten Tomatoes:

Day after day, Cynthia (Sidse Babett Knudsen) and Evelyn (Chiara D'Anna) act out a simple yet provocative ritual that ends with Evelyn's punishment and pleasure. As Cynthia yearns for a more conventional relationship, Evelyn's obsession with erotica quickly becomes an addiction.

Per my GF and I:

It felt very long, heavily stylized, too many art-house type camera shots, brief erotic moments and was confusing at times.

The critics gave it 95%, viewers gave it 77% and we gave it about a 50%.

It is On Demand.

A Most Violent Year

Set during the winter of 1981 -- one of the most crime-ridden of New York City's history -- A MOST VIOLENT YEAR is a drama following the lives of an immigrant and his family as they attempt to capitalize on the American Dream, while the rampant violence, decay, and corruption of the day drag them in and threaten to destroy all they have built.

Overview thanks to Rotten Tomatoes: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/a_most_violent_year/

Starring Oscar Isaac as Abel Morales, Jessica Chastain as Anna Morales, David Oyelowo as Lawrence and Albert Brooks.

It was a really thoughtful, well-written and excellently acted movie. We both thought it was really good. We had never seen Oscar Isaac before and he was very good as the lead.

I'm paused in the middle of Wolf of Wall Street. I swear I've been watching this movie for a week. It COULD be that I am fucked up on cold medicine, but we will see when I go back to it. It was amusing for like the first three days, but now just seems pointless LOL.

Just needed somewhere to confess that I suppose.

Ok, a couple things.

1) I feel a little better now that I realize this was, in actuality, a very long movie. I wasn't expecting three hours LOL.

2) I also for some odd reason didn't realize it was a Scorcese film. Don't know how I wasn't paying to that fact, but he's not my favorite usually.

Thusly--my reaction of: This was cool for a little while but it's too long and I've had enough all makes sense to me. Thank you for giving me a thread to work that all out. I was able to get back into it after a break, but this movie wasn't anything special to me.

Hi Fancy. Julie and I went to see Birdman for our Valentine's date and both of us left the theater thinking "that was interesting." Cinematography was great. I really felt like I was right there in this dank Broadway dressing room pondering the similarities of my life and that of the character. I think Michael Keaton did a good acting job. Not his usual comic schtick. I could see where the movie does get some buzz but I really do not see it bringing home an Oscar except for maybe Michael Keaton getting the Best Actor award. I would say go see it before the Oscar Awards next Sunday night.

We went and saw 50 Shades of Grey. We had some good laughs, enjoyed the more intimate scenes. Without having read the books though, you would be a bit lost as they sort of rushed the story a bit I feel like. Lots of back story missing that make it come together better than it does in the movies.

Kill the Messenger

Based on the True story of Journalist Gary Webb. The film takes place in the mid 1990s, when Webb uncovered the CIA's past role in importing huge amounts of cocaine into the U.S. that was aggressively sold in ghettos across the country to raise money for the Nicaraguan Contras rebel army. Despite enormous pressure not to, Webb chose to pursue the story and went public with his evidence, publishing the series "Dark Alliance". As a result he experienced a vicious smear campaign fueled by the CIA. At that point Webb found himself defending his integrity, his family, and his life.

Starring Jeremy Renner.

Boyhood
Why? Film made no sense. Completely fragmented, non-linear pieces of film sliced together to make what avant garde art types think is film-making. Drek.

St. Vincent
Well executed, well-acted portrayal of life, love and loss. Time worthy.

Birdman
Mind numbing drum banging; chaotic, like bad jazz. It eludes me why this film is so awarded. I'm happy for Michael Keaton that his career is boosted. Again, avant-garde, which is not a bad thing, except here it might be.

I especially liked the blend of science fiction and science fact. It is rare to run into a good science fiction movie and this was certainly that. The General Theory of Relativity and Dylan Thomas got more air play in this movie than any other I have ever seen.
I would have enjoyed it even at the regular price theater

<<<Snip>>>

Really incredible to know the depth and reach of the NSA's reach into our computers, Internet, telephone calls, credit cards, etc., etc.

Whether there is zero reason for them to collect data on you or not: they are doing it!

Citizenfour just won this the Academy Award for best documentary film and we saw it on HBO last night.

"In January 2013, Laura Poitras received an encrypted e-mail from a stranger who called himself Citizen Four. In it, he offered her inside information about illegal wiretapping practices of the NSA and other intelligence agencies. Poitras had already been working for several years on a film about monitoring programs in the US, the result of the September 11 attacks. In June 2013, accompanied by investigative journalist Glenn Greenwald and The Guardian intelligence reporter Ewen MacAskill, she went to Hong Kong with her camera for the first meeting with the stranger, who identified himself as Edward Snowden. Several other meetings followed. The recordings gained from the meetings form the basis of the film".

Took my young man out to see MacFarland USA this weekend, and he liked it very much. I thought It seemed a little too prescriptive of Disney at moments, but overall was a decent message of stamina, hope, and triumph. One of the things I thought most interesting was learning that my son didn't know where his food came from and about the people and their conditions who worked in that area(migrant labor). We actually had a more meaningful conversation about that topic than the running; and that's a good thing in my opinion.

I saw a double feature today.

I was going to see Kingsman: The Secret Service but I made a last minute switch and decided at go time to see this movie:

O96og_f-Omk

It was a lovely surprise and there are a TON of actors and actresses (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2555736/fullcredits/) that I enjoy in it. I hadn't heard much about it, so I didn't know that Richard Gere was in it. That was a nice surprise for sure. I liked being in a half filled auditorium with more mature patrons. It was a nice change.

Initially, I didn't plan on a double feature but as soon as I got out of one, the other was starting so it worked out perfectly.

I really enjoyed Samuel L. Jackson being looney as a toon in this flick. His assistant......wow. The action did not disappoint and there was some cheeky humor in it too.

Rosewater

In June 2009, BBC journalist Maziar Bahari, an Iranian-born Canadian citizen, returned to his native country to interview Mir-Hossein Moussavi, the prime challenger to incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. When Moussavi's supporters protested Ahmadinejad's declaration of victory, Bahari smuggled footage of the riots to the BBC. He was soon arrested by the Revolutionary Guard and -- led by a man known only as "Rosewater" -- was interrogated and tortured for 118 days.

Release date: November 14, 2014 (USA)
Director: Jon Stewart
Story by: Aimee Molloy, Maziar Bahari

IMBd

Truly sobering and hard to watch at times. It is difficult to believe that Bahari was so naive that he would think that he could film the riots.

His father had been imprisoned by the Shah for being a communist in the 1950's and his deceased sister was also imprisoned in Iran for 6-years, in the 1980's. She was also accused of being a communist.

The Iranians wanted him to confess that he was a spy for the CIA.

It is not uplifting but as his hallucination of his father tells him at one point:

What is more dangerous than the truth?

And So It Goes
As far as I'm concerned, Dianne Keaton always delivers. Okay, it's a fluff film but with solid acting from two veterans. Plus, Keaton sings, and sings well. I liked it. Time worthy.

Big Men
Documentary. Interesting how much access this filmmaker got to CEOs of Kosmos and to officials in Africa, which leads me to think that it's a bit of a PR piece, which is fine, because ultimately it does a good job of educating people about oil, corruption, greed [domestic & foreign] in African resources and countries. It's time worthy.

Really terrific documentary about LA County USC Medical Center's ED.

Name: Code Black.

It refers to those (very frequent) times when the ED is so overcrowded that it is critical mass. They turn no one away for lack of money (or undocumented status) and are basically the place of last resort for those with nowhere else to go for healthcare.

The dedication of the ED physicians (and nurses) and their frustration with the state of US healthcare system was palpable.

Very much worth watching.

imbd review:

A notorious trauma bay in an inner-city E.R. earns its keep as the 'hurt locker of medicine' as new, idealistic and adrenaline-seeking doctors train in an environment akin to a war zone. When the hospital moves to a swank new building, the rush fades and bureaucracy gridlocks the state-of-the-art facility, and the doctors are faced with the unexpected realities of life and death in a safety-net health-care system on the brink of overload.

Finding Neverland

This charming account of a period in the life of author J.M. Barrie (Johnny Depp) reveals the real relationships and events that served as the basis for the author's most iconic work, "Peter Pan." After Barrie develops a platonic relationship with the widowed Sylvia (Kate Winslet) and her four sons, he is inspired to write a play about a group of children who don't want to grow up. The work proves a hit and winds up bringing Barrie and the children together in a way he had never expected.

Perfume - The Story of a Murderer

With his incredible talent for discerning scents, Jean-Baptiste Grenouille (Ben Whishaw) is one of 18th-century France's finest perfumers. He becomes obsessed with capturing an elusive aroma: the scent of young womanhood. His search takes a deadly turn, and when the bodies of 12 young females are found, panic breaks out, with families rushing to lock up their daughters.

Kristin served for over 20 years as a member of the elite special forces Navy SEALs on SEAL Team 1 as well as the United States Special Warfare Development Group – what many in the public refer to as SEAL Team 6. She retired in 2011 with the rank of Senior Chief and continued high-level clearance work for the United States government and the Pentagon.

Kristin hid her true identity throughout and after her service knowing she would lose it all if anyone were to know her secret. In 2013, a year and a half after retirement, Kristin came out publicly first on LinkedIn and on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360.

I did something different today. Our local cinema plays a silver screen classic every Monday at 1pm. They charge $2 per person and admission includes a tiny drink and popcorn. It's really cute.

I went today for the first time and even though one guy left his cell phone on but couldn't hear it going off in the middle of the movie and another guy woke himself up with his own snoring and yet another person coughed up half a lung during the movie, I actually enjoyed it. Clearly it's a tightknit group as they knew all of one another's names and mentioned when one guy was late. Turns out he was in Boston traffic 2 hours before the movie and nearly ran his car into the ground to get there. I talked with a couple while we were in line for the goodies and they seemed really nice. I won't get the opportunity to go every week but I think I'll be able to swing once or twice a month. The movie was good (despite the racism and sexism that came with 1949) and the experience was fun. I love horse movies and especially ones based on real horses. :)

It is absolutely phenomenal. Angelina Jolie did an excellent job of directing. Jack O'Connell did an amazing job as portraying Louie Zamperini. Miyavi did an outstanding job making me hate Watanabe, the main antagonist, with a fiery passion I didn't know I was capable of today. The fact that it's based on a true story just proves what we can do when we put our minds to it.

I'm feeling decidedly unaccomplished but proud as Hell of him. He experienced so much in his lifetime and survived many times over events that would have taken the will and life of others. Loved this movie.

If you are looking for a movie that's got award winning acting, this isn't it.

It is cute and it does have an amazing reenactment of a once in a lifetime racing scene. Definitely worth the buck and change I paid to see it.

I saw two more movies this weekend. First up was The Voices. Going into it, I knew that it would likely nudge a few sore spots with me and it did a little, but not as much as I thought given the subject matter. It was not what I would call a 'good' movie but it was twisted and a bit dark and sometimes you need that.

I do like Ryan Reynolds, though, and really look forward to this movie next year.

This past weekend I watched Dallas Buyer's Club - excellent movie. Matthew did a great job in working his character. Just affirms what most of us already know in regards to insurance companies and pharmas. Glove and hand.

Then I watched The Fault in our Stars - I was so afraid this was going to be a "chick" flick. (not that there is anything wrong with them) :| Which I guess to a certain extent it was. However, the premise of the movie was so touching - and the actors so good - that it never felt like that that glossy-cotton candy type movie. I am glad I decided to watch it. The soundtrack to it was wonderful as well.

98% critics rating on Rotten Tomato's when I checked last night.

I should also say that I just love action movies.

The girlfriend does not, so she wasn't crazy about it but we take turns seeing flicks the other wants to see.

I haven't been able to see your link (shows up as a white box for me) but I knew what you linked so it's no biggie. My computer's a little weird I guess.

I had some free tix so I went to see this and Age of Adaline today. Both were excellent in their respective genres.

Anya, you are right....Mad Max is steampunk driven, given the nature of the storyline. There were some truly and fantastically incredible visuals! It gives you perspective to know that the vehicle chase scenes in the movie took more than half of the total time put into the film. Several months and it showed. Thrilling action flick!

I do have to say one thing though....if I were in the war party and I had to listen to that guy play the guitar for the hours and hours they must have been driving, I would have shot someone in the face.

This was quality in all aspects. The story was well put together, the acting was good and it was interesting and even though it involved something not entirely realistic, everything else was as I expected if such an event did occur.

Winnie Mandela : "South Africa's Winnie Mandela, one of the most galvanizing public figures in modern history, comes to life in this absorbing biopic." with Jennifer Hudson and Terrence Howard

This moving was indeed interesting to watch. However, I am not convinced it depicts the depths of the true story. I knew some of this story prior to watching it and continued on with additional research about the Mandela families fight. There is much more to the story than this (as in any movie)...I am not sure how I feel about her yet. While I researched her story I found myself on an emotional roller coaster of admiration, disappointment, disgust in a never ending ride of all spectrums of each emotion. War can cause a man or women to do things that they would have never thought to do...sometimes they loose themselves all together.

Saw Tomorrowland at the drive-in last night. I liked it, but I like almost all things Disney. It reminded me somewhat of the Young Adult/Hunger Games-type genre, and somewhat of the live action Disney movies of the 70s. George Clooney was very good in it. It was visually very exciting, in that immersion-in-wonder kind of Disney way. The story was pretty exciting in some parts, too, but it was too long and could probably have easily lost 15 minutes and been a better movie.

Well, before I took off for the wild I saw Still Alice - umm yes, a tear jerker for real. Julianne Moore was wonderful, as always.

I also saw John Wick with Keanu Reeves.

Legendary assassin John Wick (Keanu Reeves) retired from his violent career after marrying the love of his life. Her sudden death leaves John in deep mourning. When sadistic mobster Iosef Tarasov (Alfie Allen) and his thugs steal John's prized car and kill the puppy that was a last gift from his wife, John unleashes the remorseless killing machine within and seeks vengeance. Meanwhile, Iosef's father (Michael Nyqvist) -- John's former colleague -- puts a huge bounty on John's head.

Now I am not normally a Keanu Reeves fan, a friend of mine suggested this. I actually really liked it. Very good.

I would recommend both of these movies.

I saw Tomorrowland today. The movie itself was very good. The acting was well done and the visual cornucopia was spectacular.

BUT

In the first few minutes, I was thrown off by some mistakes made with young Frank's bag. One scene, the bag is wet. The next scene, the bag is dry. One scene, the bag is 3-4 feet away. The next scene, the bag was directly at his feet and he just picked it up. Those blatant mistakes distracted me from the movie for a little bit but I got into it shortly thereafter.

BUT

There was a surprise that tickled me to no end. THIS (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4861965/) young man is in the movie. Anyone notice why I might be happy with that?

steampunk vibe

Mad Max!

I've been told the turn of phrase for settings like those of Mad Max is "dieselpunk." I think it fits well enough, even if you could call it more gasolinepunk or petrolpunk or whatev.

Anyway, I just saw it today (with my first cousin once removed), and it was bloody glorious. I don't really even watch movies, let alone action movies, but it was an excellent piece of cinematography: a film that works because it's a film and because the entire work was designed from the ground up for a visual medium, as opposed to all the movies out there that work better as books. No scene or visual is wasted: every single one tells you something about the world and the people in it, and well enough so that you can grasp what's going on even with very little dialogue, owing both to the quality of the scene-setting and the quality of the acting. You don't have to be told what's going on, because you can see it clearly, in a way so well-presented that it makes the unbelievable believable. It's an action movie, and yet it works as well as it does because it has a narrative and a world that feel real, and because the narrative isn't a flimsy justification for what's happening on-screen but rather is what's happening on-screen. It also fits a great deal into two hours as a result of being fast-paced and not lingering on anything more than it needs to, but is still put together with enough skill that it's easy to follow in spite of this. The only real challenge is enduring the sheer intensity, because it is a very visually rich and powerful work. There may be sensory overload.

Also, it manages to be very creepy and intense and tackle profoundly dark subject matter while somehow showing the restraint to not degenerate into a vulgar exploitation flick. It's definitely an R-rated movie, with violence and with segments that made me squirm a bit, and yet it avoided violence for the mere sake of titillation and limited itself to what actually served the narrative. This may be part of the complete lack of wasted time, where for being a two-hour movie it is nonetheless very concise and only shows what actually serves the experience. It's entirely possible that quite a bit ended up on the cutting-room floor.

Suffice it to say there's a lot that can be said about the movie without spoiling it, because what makes it great isn't simply the plot itself but how that plot is executed.

I am still left wondering one thing, though. The conventional wisdom is that action movies don't make their money off of women viewers. I find myself wondering if that holds true for Fury Road--or if it would hold true if more action movies were like it.

Lee Daniels' The Butler

After leaving the South as a young man and finding employment at an elite hotel in Washington, D.C., Cecil Gaines (Forest Whitaker) gets the opportunity of a lifetime when he is hired as a butler at the White House. Over the course of three decades, Cecil has a front-row seat to history and the inner workings of the Oval Office. However, his commitment to his "First Family" leads to tension at home, alienating his wife (Oprah Winfrey) and causing conflict with his anti-establishment son.

I have not seen such a poignant movie in quite some time. I tend to watch movies that make you think (from time to time) - especially about things that are relevant to our present and/or past. This one did exactly that. If you have not seen it, you should.

This was a good movie but it disturbed me at certain parts, especially how Chappie was treated as he was learning how to process his world. It mimicked the patterns of an abusive household with a child in it and when he was attacked and then attacked again, I actually had to get up and walk away from the TV for a minute. That was a surprise to me. Thankfully, things took a turn for the better.

One thing that I noticed is that in these movies there were 3 actors who typically play good guy roles (a detective, an FBI psychologist and Wolverine) and they played against the type here I did not like that.

Then..

We watched the ah-may-zing "Killer Mermaid". This movied is bad. Lol. I cant even explain how bad. But the weirdest thing, i actually hope they make a part 2. No idea why. Lrobably because I love mermaids.

I saw this yesterday.

It was pretty good. I like to stay until the end because sometimes they add scenes or do fun little things. They had a list called Production Babies. I'm assuming it's a list of babies that were born during the production, but anything's possible.

It was a looooong list.

Lots of sex with animators, apparently.

Lots of movies I WANT to see. Jurassic World for sure.

But I was begged by the cutest boy last night to go see 'Inside Outside' so I am (happily) going to see that right after work :D

The last movie that I saw in the theatre, was, "Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2".

On Netflix I watched, "Barnyard" with my roommate's two daughters and a friend.

I guess that would be Chef on netflix...

I felt rather meh about it. I waited for it to get gooder....it just never got there.

This morning I woke up early and started watching The Cobbler with Adam Sandler. Very disappointing in so many ways. I won't bother to finish it.

The Cobbler ending was better. The beginning sucked.

I saw this movie tonight:

I liked it. It was comfortable, like a cozy sweater on a rainy day.

We saw two movies this weekend. Now that we are not working on my house every weekend, we looked at each other, asked what we should do instead and said, in unison: "The movies!"

We saw the first one entitled Spy, with Melissa McCarthy. She was funny but the F word seemed to be every other word and they used the C word a couple of times and I really hate that derogatory word!

We got great seats and the movie starts and in comes a woman pushing a baby carriage! WTF? She also brought a boy around 5 or 6 and they stayed throughout the movie. I kept wanting to cover his ears and felt very uncomfortable!

Yes, the baby cried periodically throughout the movie.

The movie was funny in parts and I do like Melissa but the language was over the top <<<< getting old, grannie.

The second one we saw this weekend was very good. It was a science fiction but for all that I know, the technology may already be in practice.

It made you think and entertained at the same time. I always like that in a movie!
