But he's been known to fall asleep during really good movies, so I would take that with a grain of salt. :) We saw One Day today and I cried. It's fantastic and raw and lovely all at the same time. |
i just saw war horse.. wish i would have saved my money.
|
The Debt on DVD. I think it was one of the underrated films of 2011. And I may have a little crush on Jessica Chastain.
|
Midnight in Paris Kathy Bates, Adrien Brody, Carla Bruni, Rachel McAdams, Owen Wilson I am not a Woody Allen enthusiast but this movie was very entertaining. Only Allen could figure out how to weave a story of a modern man's search for direction in his life using the help of his heroes of the past including Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Stein, Cole Porter, Picasso, Dali, Ray, Bunuel, Toulouse-Lautrec, Gauguin, Degas. Kathy Bates played a perfect Gertrude Stein. And, he spun more than one memorable line. My favorite was calling the tea party republicans - "crypto-fascist airhead zombies". Definately will have to watch this one a few more times to appreciate all the imagery and symbolism it contains. |
If you like Jessica Chastain, you have to watch her in the movie, "Jolene". What a journey she takes you on.

I loved this movie beginning to end. Woody Allen makes every city look gorgeous and I wanted to book a trip to Paris after I watched this movie. Great little movie.

Billy Elliot. I love this movie, and watching on a Skype date was even better! lol :-D
*sniff sniff* |
"Butch Jamie" Awful movie, deeply disliked the protagonist, disliked the message it sent, badly acted, just ugh what a waste of time
|
Kill The Irishman, on Netflix....
damn good movie about my area in the 70s and the mafia |
The Borrowers (a remake of a kids story shown on tv on Christmas Day)
I loved it, our Stately Homo Stephen Fry was cast as 'the baddie'. Victoria Wood cast as granny. Christopher Eccleston as father Borrower. A fab cast. |
Recently seen in the Schmooze/Abi household Highly Enjoyed Having not read the books - I was somewhat bored :| Jo and the Kidlette loved it... Sci Fi enthusiast, I enjoyed the premise and the special effects, I believe Jo struggled to stay awake during this - poorly acted not one I'd see again and I tend to watch good sci fi several times. |

Oh, Billy Elliot for me... And no matter what she says .... I didn't cry !! I say my Skype connection was fuzzy !

Colombiana and Gnomeo & Juliet today.
Loved the former and had a good laugh at the latter. |
I've yet to watch Gnomeo and Juliet....hopefully I will at the weekend. :)
|
Took my neice to see the Muppet movie. It was cute.
|
Strangers In Good Company
This Canadian film is the delightful story about a group of remarkable women travelers who, when stranded, turn their escapade into a truly magical time of humor and adventure. Love it have watched it many many times |
The Fingersmith
Costume drama set at a good pace with plot twists and turns to keep you interested. Based on a novel by Sarah Waters. |
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.
Much better film than the first one. More polished. More gritty. Deeper... Edge of the seat stuff! |
Today -
Gnomeo and Juliet :| |
Something random off of Showtime with Demi Moore and David Duchovny titled "The Joneses" ... it was supposed to be a satire. I think they tried to be poignant and fell flat. I wouldn't recommend it. My thoughts at the end of the film... "I should've just re-watched Princess Bride." *laughs*
|
"The Secret Life of Bees". Intense & very good.
|
Finally saw Hugo on Monday. Very cute, loved the old (and fake old) film clips.
|
The House of D David Duchovny, Robin Williams, Tea Leone, Frank Langella An American artist living a bohemian existence in Paris is trying to make sense of his troubled adult life by reflecting upon his extraordinary childhood in Greenwich Village in 1973. When an unexpected tragedy radically alters his world, he must take a life-defining choice – one that will compel him as an adult to confront his unfinished past. Loved this movie. Excellent cast. Smart dialogue. Lots of humor. Good music. |
Hachi : A Dog's Tale
4th time, and it still brings a knot to my fuggin' throat ... Made me think of my own fur companions that have been loyal till their last breath. It's inspired by a true occurrence in Japan. Yes, it's a Richard Gere film, ignore that part. It was a lovely Film, but, I highly recommend kleenex (I may have had a knot, but at the time, the person next to me was a blubbering mess when the credits rolled..) |
The Love Letter Kate Capshaw, Ellen DeGeneres, Tom Selleck, Blythe Danner Ok, it is from 1999 but it is one of my must see once a year movies. Plus, I think Kate Capshaw and Blythe Danner are two very incredible women. Is a romantic comedy revolving around trying to find out who wrote a love letter and who was the intended receipient. The truth is a surprise and the journey to it, is very cute. Based on the novel by Cathleen Schine. |
Need some help here...
Some time ago, perhaps six or seven years, I watched a French film about a man and a woman who would meet up weekly at a hotel to indulge their sexual appetites. I know this sounds like pretty much most French foreign films. However, these two shared an interest in sexual behaviors that were alluded to be out of the norm, and of which is never known to the viewer.
They found one another through some sort of fetish newspaper or letter, would meet in a cafe for coffee, head to the hotel, and enter the hotel room. We are never privy to any activity inside the room. We are left at the hotel room door to wonder what it is they share. They fall in love with one another but never tell each other as each one is certain the other could not possibly feel the same. Eventually the love they feel for one another, and never confess, splits them apart. If anyone knows of this movie, and can tell me the title of the film, please let me know. I just can't remember and would like to watch it again. Thanks! |
New Year's Eve...Sucky gratuitous ripoff of Love Actually.
Mission Impossible 4...Relies on a lot of special effects to make up for a weak plot. The Man on the Train...Surprisingly good movie. How can you not like Donald Sutherland? In Time...Meh. The Innkeepers...Liked it, despite a lack of major stars. Our Idiot Brother...not bad. About to watch Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. |
