I loved The Help. Great story and great acting throughout. Viola Davis is mesmerizing - so much conveyed by her face. I want to see her in more. I want to see Dolphin Tales and Ides of March. Thank you for the recommendation, Jagg.
A student kept telling me to see a film that came in 2004 called, Something the Lord Made with Alan Rickman and Mos Def. He thought I'd enjoy the story set in Baltimore and at my alma mater. He was right. Rickman is his usual awesome, and I would love to see Mos Def in much more. Def blew me away in this excellent story that's highly recommended.

Movie Theater
If we're talking movie theater, it was Planet of the Apes: Rise of the Apes.
The only thing that I hated was that I was watching it alone. I would have loved to have seen it with someone who had seen the original Planet of the Apes with Charleton Heston. There were parts that made me exclaim out loud! |

Took my son out to see "Captain America" last weekend. Something he wanted to see so we went and......I really enjoyed it. Very interesting. Not type of movie I normal would go see (war movie, and don't usually enjoy movies set in times before the 70's) He really thought it was great too.
Also saw for the 3rd time "Bridesmaid". This time with friends from work. Couple of them had not seen it yet, so I brought my copy over and we even brought over bridesmaids gowns and wedding dresses  Anyway, once again, totally cracked up laughing and friends thought freakin' hilarious too. Now to get my mom and maybe my sis to watch it

My most recent movie watch was "Hanna". Action packed thriller, worth seeing if you like the genre and you aren't particularly squeamish. Great acting, interesting storyline, suspenseful. Synopsis (source: www.imdb.com): "A 16-year-old who was raised by her father to be the perfect assassin is dispatched on a mission across Europe, tracked by a ruthless intelligence agent and her operatives."

Today I saw back-to-back :
Red (Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren, Richard Dreyfus, John Malkovich), an action-packed cloak & dagger "comedy"... Swing Kids (Robert Sean Leonard *Dr. Wilson from House M.D.*, Christian Bale, Noah Wyle), Docu-Drama about the underground movement of Swing Kids during Nazi Germany's reign, slightly a coming-of-age and realization account mixed with History of Nazi Germany and a dash of Swing Music and it's powerful influence on their dissenting youth, with consequence... {btw, I loved the original Planet of the Apes, I wish they'd give 'em all, or most anyways, when they decide to show 'em...I do wanna see the latest , I was told it felt more like Matthew Brodericks Project X than the originals, I'd like to form my own opinion though.}

The last movie I watched was The Ring, I'm not a huge movie fan. In fact I usually can't stand to watch them, don't have the patience to wait for the ending haha. But once in a while I get a strong urge to watch a movie and I haven't seen The Ring in forever so I though it would be nice to watch it. That and Underworld I always return to those when I'm in the mood for a movie.
The only time I really watch one is when I'm spending time with my best friend and she wants to watch one. It's a great excuse for best friend cuddles. Which she owes me next time I see her haha.

Just got back from seeing Ides. Not a great movie, but worth watching. Nothing new or particularly thoughtful about politics and campaigns. But still interesting to watch the characters struggle with their decisions and the consequences. Paul Giamatti was amazing. Ryan Gosling too. i had no idea he was such a strong actor. i love Philip Seymour Hoffman, and he was good. But it wasn't really a role he could shine in. My favorite similar role of his is in Charlie Wilson's War.
God, Clooney looks so much like his father as he ages. I recall watching his father as a news anchor in Cincinnati for many years. The film is set in Cincinnati, and it was interesting to see the bridge and parts of the city although i swear i saw Detroit at one point (??????). It also had a scene at the college my dad got his MA at. I used to go with him to classes sometimes. That was kewl. So I might have liked it more for those associations. One thing that bugged me was a scene supposedly shot at Dayton Community College. There is no such place. The community college in Dayton is called Sinclair. My dad taught there and so did I. i kinda wished they had named it. But they named Xavier, which gave me a big wahoo moment. There is one plot twist which is contrived and unnecessary, and, as i said, none of it is original. But it was well done and serious. Worthwhile. Quote:

I thought it was great. Really fantastic cinematography & sound design. The writing and acting were both quite good too. It reminded me of watching 'La Femme Nikita' for the first time.

To answer a Question asked, Yep I enjoyed both Red and Swing Kids
 ...Sparkle, french version I'm guessing...Point of No Return was ok, with bridget fonda, kind of "Americanized" but almost ..in my opinion, Plagiarized.... I loved La Femme Nikita... I'm trying to grab the movie "Hanna" through those 1$ rentals....Damn u College town !! I'm waiting for Zookeeper with Kevin James, and Fast 5....I also wanna see 50/50 for the Plot and how the Protagonist somewhat uses "Humor" as Medicine I rented X-Men; First Class again tonight for a bit of 'geek'-type snuggling....I figured if I saw Wolverine's "prequel" why not the Original bunch also.... It does explain a little on how and why each turned out the way they are, and of course it shows that essentially at 1 point or another they were all "Good" and friends, within the cliche of finding refuge/safety with their own Kind... Kevin Bacon's in this one, so that add's even more to that weird 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon list. If you're a die-hard X-men fan, you'll enjoy its 'history', wanting even more.

Last one I saw in a theater was "Contagion", it was predictable, but that's kind of the whole point.
I thoroughly enjoyed it .gif "Say What?")

Saw "Contagion" last night, thoroughly enjoyed it although it made me and others not want to touch anything or anyone...and saw "The Help" for the second time...absolutely hands down my fav so far. Had to see "Bridesmaids" a second time just for the helluva of it, and it still made me laugh. I so want Viola Davis to be nominated for Best Actress...she practically stole the show from Meryl Streep in "Doubt" imho...and that takes some acting chutzpah!!!
