Captain Philips was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It infuriated me because of the subject matter, true story that it is. I am a Tom Hanks fan, but I hated the takeover. It's interesting to see that the Maersk shipping line is also in All Is Lost with Robert Redford as a huge bulk carrier that passes him by while he's lost at sea ready to drown. He tries desperately to flag them down as a last ditch effort...but.....

Both actors should have been nominated and were passed over. All Is Lost is excellent in this harsh character study of a man surviving the sea alone; Redford has a physically-demanding role and he is the only actor in the film...tough to pull off. Great writing and direction when one character carries a story and holds you there, or when a story takes place in one room like Sidney Lumet's 12 Angry Men. Even better is when it's stage-shot...cameras in long, single takes without cuts. My favorite of this would be Hitch's Rope.

Have fun at the movies.

I've seen all the latest that I want to see. So, I sat back and watched And Justice For All last night...haven't seen it in years. Great movie!
