"In Time"

Didn't expect a masterpiece with this film, but was still a a bit disappointed. Interesting premise, but poorly executed. Justin Timberlake is overrated as an actor. Amanda Seyfreid is interesting to look at and her character rocked that kick-ass bob. Other than that, I was left bored.

Next!

The Lincoln Lawyer with Matthew Mcconaughy..

Interesting to say the least, found it browsing on netflix...

I saw 'The Help' and 'Midnight in Paris' this weekend past on DVD.

'The Help' was wonderful and heart warming, I didn't feel I missed much not having read the book. The cast was truly fantastic, the oscars and oscar nods were well earned.

like HowSoonIsNow - I was a bit trepidatious about Woody Allen's latest film (because I've found his more recent films to be hit or miss)...but I'm so glad I saw it - 'Midnight in Paris' is incredibly charming and clever, especially if you're a fan of early 20th century art, literature & the cultural history of American expatriates in the roaring 20s.

I'm seeing Casablanca tonight on the big screen for the first time. I have seen it countless times on DVD, but never in a theater.

I have mixed feelings about this movie. The plot was your typical afteradisasterthegovernmentgetsstupid kind-of-plot and it held my attention..until the end which was very anti-climatic and you can tell they want/will do a sequel. Very good teen movie but it could have used a lot more..better dialogue, character development, suspense, etc. But overall on a scale of 1-10 i'd give it a solid 5.

I saw The Shore this weekend. The Shore won the Oscar for life-action short film at last month's awards. What makes it absolutely beautiful to watch is the cinematography and fantastic acting by Ciarán Hinds:

Yes, I was one of the ones who helped this movie surpass all of the "Twilight" openings. And, I enjoyed the movie.

But, the shaky camera motion is something I abhor in a movie. It makes me motion sick and I leave the theater (every time) with a massive, nauseated headache.

So, I decided to find out a bit about the reason it was shot this way...

Director Gary Ross talked about The Hunger Games in a recent interview with Vulture.

Vulture - "Let’s talk about the look of this movie. You employed a lot of shaky handheld, and there aren’t a lot of wide shots. How did you come up with that approach?"

Gary Ross - "Well, I mean, I tried to do what the book did."

Well alright then! THAT explains everything.

So, to anyone who plans to go see it-if you are like me, easily sickened by shaky camera action (think "The Blair Witch Project" or "Paranormal Activity" you may want to wait this one until the DVD comes out. If you are watching it at home, you can press pause and come back to it. Personally, I did not want to miss any of the movie so I stuck it out.

"My Idiot Brother"

We loved it!

Kill the Irishman.

Based on a true story of organized crime in Ohio. The filmmakers added in real footage about the Irishman from the 60s and 70s and the fight over territory betweem the Italians and the Irish. A great cast including Paul Sorvino, Val Kilmer and Christopher Walken.

I seen this movie when it first ran in the theater and then again on HBO a short time ago! I love any movie based on organized crime and when they add in real footage based on events that actually took place, even better!

And the fact it was based on real events was very disturbing. I think at some point in the film it mentioned 24 murders!

the hunger games! i went to the movie theater on wednesday for the first time in years to see it with a friend. i was pleasantly surprised, but i agree w/the critiques - it fails to capture the character development and depth of relationships in the books. i can't imagine watching the film without having read the books...it would have felt much flatter.

The last movie I saw with a friend of mine was The Vow starring Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams. Tatum and McAdams play a married couple who are in a car accident; she loses her short term memory and cannot remember a thing about their marriage. He tries everything he can think of to jog her memory and it doesn't work so they lose touch for awhile, but in the end they begin to rekindle the marriage that they had lost. Its a beautiful story about love, struggle and the promise to love the one your with no matter WHAT may happen in life
