The Abduction of Eden

Gritty...Very.Very.Gritty.

It's a shame, that this shit goes on not just in our Nation but everywhere.

Well acted movie. True story.

Prisoners (2013)


Director: Denis Villeneuve



Writer: Aaron Guzikowski


Fairly harrowing viewing, if a little over long in my opinion. Hugh Jackman once again has facial hair and gets angry (not like he hasn’t done that before) and Jake Gyllenhaal wears the same shirts as Elementary’s Sherlock Holmes! Paul Dano plays the creepy suspect (type casting anyone?) who leads the characters and the audience into moral ambiguity. There a few twists and turns to keep you interested as Detective Loki (Jake) tries to investigate the disappearance of two little girls.

Eliza Birch: Did you feel bad for that deer when you shot it?

A touching tale of a Adele finding her sexual self. She meets someone Emma. The liaison from Adele's point of view begins. For Emma this is no secret. There ballet together is exciting and extraordinary to view. The acting is very well done. The filming wonderful. It won the Palme d'Or (best picture) at Cannes Film Festival. There is good reason why. It was not nominated for Best foreign Language Film by the Academy Awards because of release date.

The story twisted me in many ways and i was hesitant in watching the last half hour because my heart wanted a certain ending. i watched and will not say if i was disappointed or not.
The movie is a top picture i have ever seen. It deserves all the accolades it receives and more.
It does deserve the NC-17 as well there is such passion well worth the three hours.
(there were a few areas where the film could have been shortened) Enjoy

Escape Plan (muscle action with Sly Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger). Totally enjoyed the story as improbable as it is. Good to see two action legends in a film together—they still have it.

Stars Wars (1977). I haven't seen this in more than 35 years. Interesting to watch it after all these years. Took me back to my youth.

I saw Monuments Men in the theater the other night. I really liked it a lot. A lot of great actors and it was really fun seeing people like Bill Murray and John Goodman because I can't remember the last time I saw them in a movie.

I don't like spoilers, but the basic premise is that a team of art experts are put together with the task of preserving important works of art that the Nazis stole during WWII. Apparently it's based on a true story and I'm interested in doing a little research on that because I had not previous known anything about this.

It was bittersweet and had its humor and also heartbreak. I was way more emotional than I expected to be. As an artist, it was sort of a surreal experience to watch something about this effort worldwide to preserve art--that great art really can hold that kind of importance to the human experience.

If you're an art fan, or a fan of WWII era movies I would recommend it.

We went to see Non-Stop today, starring Liam Neison and Julianne Moore.

It was slim pickings at the $5 movie theater.

Oh lord.

Movie was a mediocre action flick and worth about $4.50

Greer Garson

Jeremy Jones' Further (streaming for legit and for free above)

An actual documentary from one of the pioneers of snowboarding, not just a "ski porn". I officially need to quit my day job... /sigh.

I saw "The Fields" last night on Netflix. It was an interesting movie. Poor Tara Reid can't act her way out of a wet paper bag most movies but Cloris Leachman and the rest of the cast really sold it for me. Hard to describe the film. It bills itself as a horror movie but I would say more thriller. Overall good flick.

Watching the last two Twilight Sagas now since part 2 has finally hit cable

This past week I saw all these movies ... Trying to catch up. All were great!!!

I don't watch movies much but I picked up Nebraska over the weekend and watched it.

Blades of Glory... I have seen it a bazillion times... I love it... lol
