Okay OKAY!! I ENJOYED this action flick and some (nearly all) of the action flicks we have watched together. I'm a closeted action flick fan. Shoooosh! :blush:

ParaNorman
 

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!!!!

Eh
 

It's Denzel how can you go wrong?

The Hunger Games: good

The Dictator: bad

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:

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 :)

oOoOoOooh, the documentary you saw (Imposter) sounds like something I would like to see.... <<< I love popcorn too: well, popcorn balls>>> :)

We havent watched a movie in AGES....but Im really wanting to see Hunger Games...Im thinking my honey bear and I can have a movie night with the kiddos Tuesday or Wednesday...also wanting to see that new movie Lawless....im wondering if it will be at the drive ins...daddy and I need a date night anyhow.... ;)

Hope Springs

Meryl Streep is gifted and brilliant. Tommy Lee Jone acted within the same box he always does.

A Netflix title...
 

"The Aggressives"...a documentary about what defines an aggressive female within the lesbian community.

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.

You and me both, Duchess!

Hey there honey bunches. Going to see The Possession tomorrow. Hope that does it for me. :)

Ohhh, I so want to hear what you think!

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




and saw the preview for The Man With the Iron Fists... a Tarrantino film coming out in a couple months.. looks great!

Recently watched Brazil- An Inconvenient History, part of a History channel series, for school. A very interesting an enlightening film about slave trade and the founding of Brazil.
