You did not enjoy Dickens historical novel?

Not in 8th grade. Sometimes teachers can turn you off to great things--however note that my least favorite English teacher, in freshman high school year, turned me on to my still favorite Shakespeare play, Julius Caesar.

Philomena - well done.

Didn't you watch this less than 4 months ago? Was it an encore viewing?

May have. I have movies on my laptop and iPad, and depending which one I travel with determines what movies I will watch.

I plan on adding many over the holidays. It has been over a year since I last juggled them.

Excellent movie.

We tried (and failed) to get through Nashville.

We tried and failed to see La Grande Bellezza today.

Sold out.

Cloud Atlas

The Hobbit

The Killers

Tangled with my boys on a snowy Sunday morning

I, like the critics seemed to enjoy the movie far more than the public.

Saw it in the theatre and even at 14 thought the scene were they had to get the antibodies off of Raquel Welch's body was a joke. But as a sci-fi geek I still liked it.

Had another funny Raquel moment about 7 years later. Saw the not-as-good-as-one-wished The Last of Sheila. It takes place on a yacht. After changing Raquel comes out in the bikini with her pneumatically inflated body, which we found funny. She is followed by the totally, naturally hot Dyan Cannon in a white bikini that I can still see in my mind 40 years (!) later.

Holy shit, did I not like this movie. It seemed like this early movies with Polanski's young girl friend, later wife, Emmanuelle Seigner, were made just to show her body off, as if to say, "Look what I got."

12 Years A Slaves.

Visually and emotionally stunning. Do not plan on sleeping for a while after watching this movie.
