Someone just recommended this movie to me the other day. Maybe I should be sure to see this one

Everyone should see this movie on a decent screen in 3D.

Saw it last night. Must see in 3D, but IMAX is a bonus. Special effects were incredibly good.

I agree. Saw it in 3D at our Cinebistro. What a great venue like watching a movie in the comfort of your own home with a great screen and sound system. Just wish the food and wine prices were a little more reasonable or they would let you BYOB.

I'm afraid our opinion of these food service movie theatres is, bad place to see a movie, bad place to eat dinner.

Dementia 13

The Place Beyond the Pines

Decent, but a little too long.

We're The Millers.

Watched Iron Man 3 again last night. Even better the second time around. Hope Marvel signed Downey to a long contract.

The Master

Interesting film but overall not very satisfying.

The counselor. Don't waste your time and skip it.

But Penelope Cruz and Cameron make it easy on the eyes.

Anonymous

Not bad.

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

The Days of Wine and Roses - the original 1958 Playhouse 90 TV version with Cliff Robertson and Piper Laurie. I figured this would be a good cautionary tale.

Breathless ( 1960)

Regardless of how many times I watch this film, it always delivers.

Yes, I did. Given the subject matter, it could have developed into a bunch of sentimental garbage; but, I didn't think it did. Instead I thought it had an interesting take on religion, faith, and human connection/relationships. I think a key to the success of the movie was not delving into Poole's back story as an adult.

Well, I'll admit it. Went to see Bad Grandpa yesterday. Low brow? Yes. Offensive? At times. Funny? Laughed my arse off.

Children of Men

No

Kings of Pastry. Similar to Somm with pastry chefs instead of sommeliers.

Don't Look Now

Gravity, with Sandra Bullock and George Clooney.

A completely ridiculous and unscientific plot. One of the dumbest story lines.
I thought it was pretty lousy.

Enough Said, with James Gandolfino and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

A bit macabre to see the late Mr. Gandolfino. But, a nice movie. Not destined for anything but obscurity in moviedom, but it was pleasant.

"Pleasant?" Sounds like a good reason to skip that movie.

I've read that the character he plays in this movie is much closer to his real personality. I'd see it for just that reason.

The Switchboard Operator

The Five-Year Engagement -- not very good, but I find Emily Blunt very easy to look at.

Olympus Has Fallen -- OK for what it was.

+1. I especially liked her in Salmon Fishing in Yemen.

There is something about her that is very attractive to me. I do like her in both movies. I found the Five Year Engagement funny -- probably because some of the scenes remind of my current life's situations. Hoping mine ends in a similar ending.

This Is The End. I thought it was really funny.

The Couch ( Circa 1962)

Zero Dark Thirty -- excellent

The Wolverine . . . fell asleep. Not sure if it was because I was just too tired or if the movie was really that un-interesting. Unfortunately was in a hotel so $16 down the drain

I enjoyed this also, and I am not a Franco fan.

On planes recently with some pre-flight assistance:

This is the end: REALLY funny

Great Gatsby: There is only so much gin and tonic can do to help me with Leonardo's performance in this movie.

Non-Planes:

Bad Grandpa: Did not care for it at all.

Last Vegas: Cool, good acting, but a little depressing.

World War Z: Visually stimulating, thought Pitt did a good job, worth renting.

World War Z - seemed like an awfully long film that didn't resonate with me. Wasn't bad, just long and meandering.
Gravity - great special effects especially in 3 D which I dislike. Other than that I thought the story line was really thin. The best part of the film was when she crawled out of the lake like an evolutionary creature.
Apres Vous - odd FR comedy that wasn't funny. For that reason I thought it was quite "adult" and well done.

We usually put SPOILER ALERT before such things.

The reference was for people who had seen the film and I did not think it was a spoiler. Especially as it happened at the beginning of the film.

Iron Man 3 - not my pick but I watched it anyway. I must be in the wrong demographics for films based on comics.

Seduced and Abandoned - Alec Baldwin's documentary on raising money at Cannes for a film and the interviews with actors, film studio heads, directors and foreign distributors. Pretty depressing at the state of the business today. But it explains why Iron Men films get made.
