I watched The Internship on the weekend. With Vince vaughn and Owen Wilson
I really enjoyed it . I thought the Wedding Crashers was was fun also. I enjoy these two guys. Im not a huge fan of either one but i think they make good sidekicks.

I'm a foodie. A foodie-lifer, in fact. My whole life has revolved around food. My mother was French. My father, a restaurateur. So, I was really interested in this film.

Chef had great potential. There are some poignant scenes, for sure. It's hard to make a film about chefs, I think, without there being a subtext for enhanced storytelling. The subtext here is the genesis of food trucks and how social media made them what they are in culture. Then, eventually, back to bricks and mortar.

I don't know how much Twitter invested or paid for this film. But, I'm willing to bet a lot since it's as much about them as it is about food.

If you're interested in chefs, a good book about chefs, I think, anyway, is "Kitchen Confidential" - raw and honest.

Cheers and tables!

Its nostalgia weekend. Redid Mary Poppins and Sound of Music.

Also saw 2 new to me ones:

Thoroughly Modern Millie - I might have enjoyed the music, flappers, and dancing if the undercurrent of the film wasnt about a hotel for single women who were targeted, drugged, and sold into "white slavery".

Breakfast at Tiffany's - I liked this one, except the main characters name was Holly Golightly. It took a bit for the colonoscopy flashbacks to dissipate.

Up next is My Fair Lady.

Brave (5 stars out of 5)
I'm surprised, this is turning out to be one of my favorite Disney movies. Every time I watch it, I see new stuff and catch more jokes.

JDeere · 10-04-2014, 03:20 PM

The Boxtrolls

3 out of 5 stars

Gemme · 10-07-2014, 05:52 AM

I saw this on Sunday

I was not aware that it was a religious movie but they didn't throw it in the audience's face too much. It was tolerable and cute.

I saw this movie as well

I absolutely love Adam and Drew, so this was true fun for me. Formulaic, sure. But still funny and still thoroughly enjoyable.

cinnamongrrl · 10-07-2014, 06:13 AM

I watched The Fault in Our Stars

My work family rented it and I have oodles of down time...

Wasn't really surprising; I grasped the premise from the previews. Sometimes my brain craves things that are meant for younger audiences. This reminded me of Perks of Being a Wallflower which I loved...

Heaven is For Real

This one could have gone sideways and gotten preachy preachy but it didn't feel that way to me. They did a good job with it.

Trust Me

It was listed as a comedy. I would say dramody is a better listing. I picked it expecting funny bits but they were far and few. I liked the lead character and a couple supporting characters but I felt a bit hoodwinked that I didn't get the movie it was portrayed as in the listing. Overall, it was okay, but don't pick it if you want an actual comedy.

They Came Together

Do. Not. Watch. This. Movie. It's so bad, I wanted to cry because it has some really good actors in it.

I'm going to hit the theatre tomorrow and see The Judge. I'm so excited! Great story. Great actors. Did I mention that I'm excited to see this?

While I was in London, a group went to see Pride. I didn't think it was showing in the States, but saw some Facebook friends had seen it as well. Good movie!

Gone Girl

With his wife's disappearance having become the focus of an intense media circus, a man sees the spotlight turned on him when it's suspected that he may not be innocent.

Director: David Fincher
Writers: Gillian Flynn (screenplay), Gillian Flynn (novel)
Stars: Ben Affleck, Rosamund Pike, Neil Patrick Harris

Read the book and I thought it was terrific and I also thought the movie was very well done.

homoe · 10-12-2014, 06:26 PM

The film tells a story of love and deceit,in the world of high-end art auctions and antiques. The story revolves around Virgil Oldman (Geoffrey Rush), an elderly and esteemed, but somewhat eccentric, managing director of an auction house. Oldman is hired by a reclusive young heiress, Claire Ibbetson (Sylvia Hoeks), to auction off the large collection of art and antiques left to her by her parents. For some reason, Claire always refuses to be seen in person.

I figured out this movie in about 2 seconds but I'd suggest giving it a try. It does move slow just to be forewarned!

It was a little annoying at first but it got much better....
