Horrible Bosses
Buck. A very interesting documentary about the "horse whisperer". I'm not necessarily a horse guy...but damn this guy can handle the animals.

If you have netflix streaming tlv you can watch it there.
Thanks Joe, I'll give it a whirl.
We watched Hugo last night. Loved it and hated it all at the same time.
Water for Elephants
I liked it. To me it had the feel of a movie from the 50s or 60s -- in a good way. Reminded me of my childhood watching a movie on WGN-Channel 9 in Chicago as a kid.

Game Change-- Wow.
Art of the Steal. Fascinating.
Moneyball. Entertaining

Watched the first half of Hanna. That was more than enough.

Indeed. Rest assured, it never improved. You were wise to cut your losses.
Big Miracle with my son.
Last night -- Crazy. Stupid. Love.
Very funny.
Tonight -- Hugo
Quite a well told story. I'm not sure it's Best Picture material, but good nonetheless.

And Justice for All.
Boogie Woogie
A dreadful movie despite the solid cast, but I just love the excellent art in the entire movie.

Bridesmaids
Valhalla Rising - weird but cool.
The Artist
Honestly walked in wondering how much I'd enjoy it, and I did - thoroughly. Great movie.

Saving Face
Leave it to Beaver- There wasn't much else on and I loved the old TV show when I was a kid. The movie was horrible, but I enjoyed the cameos of Barbara Billingsley (the old June Cleaver) and Ken Osmond (the old Eddie Haskell).
The Big Year
Watched it on a plane the other day. I've seen worse.

The Descendants ... ouch
Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol
Lincoln Lawyer - not bad.
JFK
On the plane today:
Tower Heist

21 Jump Street: ** 1/2 A lot of fun.
Wanderlust: ** A rental when you're into a rom/com.

+1. I caught the last 2/3 of the movie. Seemed like a pretty good impersonation of Palin.

No way this is totally accurate. I just refuse to believe it. And I'm far, far from a Palin lover. Of course there was some tension behind the scenes (how could there have not been after the couric interview) but I refuse to believe it was at this level.
Although, the two advisers, names escaping me now, said it was accurate.

I heard the same about the Palin advisor saying it was close enough to give him/her goosepimples (or something to that effect). If so, things are worse in DC than I could ever have imagined. See signature line (which has been in place long before I saw the movie...)
Good Morning, Vietnam
Along with Dead Poet's Society, Good Will Hunting and Awakenings one of my favorite Robin Williams roles.

Moneyball - ok
Red - strangely entertaining

Frost/Nixon
Good, but a little thin. I think I would have liked the play more than the film.
Kings of Pastry
A pretty interesting documentary following 3 competitors in the Meilleurs Ouvriers de France
pastry chef competition. The description of the movie on Netflix sleeve cracked me up though, using cutthroat and angry chefs in it. I don't remember one angry chef and while the competition is grueling and few attain the honor of MOF, camaraderie and empathy are better descriptors of what is exhibited by contestants and judges.
