Jack Goes Boating

The acting was very good and the dialogue was painfully accurate. Great timing of delivery by the actors. I was squirming I was so uncomfortable.

Not much plot, though. Very much just situation and dynamic development. More of a play, really, than a movie. Incredibly intimate, very intense and weird. And something I recognized wayyyyy to close to home, like Superbad. All I can say is, that last scene, with dinner? I am sooooooooo glad my life is no longer that dramatic.

My daughter rented Riddick and nothing to brag about ....
only thing that was cute was the dog!

Oooo... I have that on my to watch list in netflix. Haven't got it it yet. How would you class it? Sexy thriller? Dark drama sci fi?

i watched an older lifetime movie titled An Unexpected Love. Not bad. Well acted and the filming is very good. i liked the interactions between the different characters. It told a story we can understand if not totally relate to. It is worth a viewing.

We went to see Gravity in 3-D Imax yesterday.... Its was amazing , I couldn't believe my eyes! I so recommend seeing this before it leave theaters you wont be disappointed. I can definitely see why this movie is nominated for best picture . Very very Cool

Anyone see Inside Llewellyn Davis? Btw if anyone is into music and backup go see 20 feet from stardom. I got soundtrack and would see it again just to see these amazing performers.

I once taught a summer class at NYU and had every quiet student in the socialnwork program they didn't talk but Darlene Love was performing next store and I could here a lot of it. Rocked out in my head every nite

The Wolverine (2013)
Director:
James Mangold
Writers:
Mark Bomback (screenplay), Scott Frank (screenplay).
This was so much better then the mess called X-men Origins: Wolverine.
Quote: Harada: We are grateful for your protection of Mariko. But there is one more sacrifice you must make for her family.


Logan: Go fuck yourself, pretty boy.


My husband's review. I did like it a lot more then the first Wolverine film.
That one sucked ass!

Ghosts of the Abyss Titanic: Ghosts of the Abyss (2003)

Directed by James Cameron with Bill Paxton, who is amazingly interesting in it. Sometimes when you mix actors with scientists, the actors just stand out glaringly but Paxton does great. This is a riveting documentary.

Perfect!!! Thanks

Labor Day

I kinda liked it. Improbable love story with a great ending. Time worthy on a snowy day.

Hours.....

The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete.

Simply life changing.
Raw.
and downright gritty.

Recommended.

Margarita it is a wonderful love story. It gets complicated by other issues and i cried like a baby at the end. i will watch this again and again.

"Gimmie Shelter"


Based on a true story....quite moving, powerful, inspirational.

Soul Survivor.

Dallas Buyers Club

For some reason this movie just didn't grab me! In fact the only thing I enjoyed about it was Jared Leto.

Reaching for the Moon
 

Reaching for the Moon~

This movie is about the life of poet Elizabeth Bishop and focuses a lot on her life with Maria Carlota Costallat de Macedo Soares. This is one of the best movies I've seen in awhile!

intense
 

Dallas Buyers Club

- the FDA does control "our" treatment options!

Hell on Wheels ( on Netflix) a second rate cross between Dancing With Wolves and Deadwood. It was shot in Alberta and that's really the only reason I'm watching it...to see if I recognise any of the scenery.
This thing got 4.5 stars which just goes to show you that you can't trust those Netflix ratings... and I've only got 16 more episodes to go.... oyyyyyy.

Went and saw Vampire High or academy... something like that.. very campy and I would be shocked if it didn't become a tv series ala Buffy/Charmed... keep expectations way low and enjoy the camp factor (hopefully it was intentional)

the little woman likes romance movies....so, I picked up "About Time" was pretty good..had a lesson to be learned, a great love story, and caused me to chuckle several times.

Waiting for the Moon
with
Linda Hunt, Linda Bassett, Jacques Boudet, Andrew McCarthy, Bernadette Lafont

This is based on the lives of Gertrude Stein and Alice B Toklas. It is a wonderful story of their beautiful relationship.

Counselor
 

Counselor.

Wow..this movie is a psychological thriller and it does the job. Its directed by
Ridley Scott. The cast includes Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Brad Pitt &
Javier Bardem.

The plot is described as "a lawyer becomes involved in a crooked deal and it goes horribly wrong." Or some description like that. It neglects to add that Cameron Diaz plays a magnificent psychopath, and this added to the fact that it involves the depravity of the drug cartels, and a strong existential theme throughout the movie.

Aside from the fact that the movie is so disturbing it knocked me off my mental facilities for a bit, which I enjoy, it also has been written superbly. The dialogue is penetrating, twitchy, philosophical.

I highly recommend this one.

I really liked this one, saw it in the theaters. Thought Cameron Diaz was brilliant... and the car scene! Hah!

I really enjoyed...
 

Ender's Game

and

Enough Said.

Amen!
 

Grace Unplugged

WNUF Halloween Special... an interesting, quirky sort of horror film presented as a VHS recording of a channel's halloween special in the 80s... lots of attention to detail paid to get that real 80s television feeling... not particularly scary tho with a creepy climax scene, but interesting for all the meticulous presention of 80s minutiae

just finishing seeing Dallas Buyer's Club. It was very good and the acting was outstanding, even if I don't particularly like Matthew McConnaughy

Afternoon Delight

Story of Rachel (actress Kathryn Hahn) a stay-at-home mom who becomes obsessed with changing the life of a sex worker named McKenna.

Rachel has lost touch with herself and with her husband (Josh Radner) and McKenna becomes her focus, instead of her own life.

She brings McKenna home to be the live-in nanny to her 5-year old son and the ripples extend to her marriage, her group of married friends and to herself.

McKenna's life has been no picnic and the actress Juno Temple, does such an outstanding job of showing her inherent sweetness and the losses that she, herself, has experienced. It also is very matter-of-fact about McKenna's jobs and is much less judgmental about her work than movies usually are.

Jane Lynch is her Therapist (greatly in need of therapy herself) and is wonderful.

Written and directed by Jill Soloway.

I truly enjoyed this movie.

I laughed and I cried. It touched me.

I can tell you the girlfriend did not relate to Rachel as I did (no tears) but we talked about it afterward and it opened a really good dialogue between us..

What more can you ask from a movie?

:movieguy:

I just saw Perks of being a Wallflower....

I liked it a lot. It appealed to my inner teen.... :)

Amazing but true
 

The Host was the last movie I just finished and it was not a horror movie but I actually enjoyed it for a romance family type movie with a touch of Sci-fi

The Monuments Men (Cate Blanchett, Bill Murray, George Clooney, John Goodman, Matt Damon, Hugh Bonneville) (3x) *****

February is a WWII month for me.

I am viewing

Winds of Wars
War and Remembrance (based on Herman Wouk's Pulitzer Prize-winning novels.)

I study WWII in books and film; it is important that I know as much as possible with regard to the European Theatre, the Pacific Theatre and the Holocaust. It is also important that I understand WWII from strategic and geographical vantage points on land and sea.
