movie review

I spent all morning watching Wolf of Wall Street.

Great movie. The "Wall St" of this decade

Too much use of the "friend" word, but I was numb to it after awhile.

The actual opening scene is dwarf tossing.........unlike everybody, including the golf buddies, said the opening scene was a girl suckig his....
You see what you want to see.

There were no opening flicks that looked good this weekend, so we saw "A Most Wanted Man". Not an action film really kind of a slow burning espionage thriller, but if you like Le Carre's spy stuff you'll enjoy it. Phillip Seymour Hoffman does a great job in one of his last roles.

Just watched 'Nebraska'. Good movie. Bruce Dern did a good job just being an old man. It was very hard to watch in black & white.

"An aging, booze-addled father makes the trip from Montana to Nebraska with his estranged son in order to claim a million-dollar Mega Sweepstakes Marketing prize."

Watched 'Odd Thomas'.

"In a California desert town, a short-order cook with clairvoyant abilities encounters a mysterious man with a link to dark, threatening forces."

It's based on a book by Dean Koontz....which is on my shelf but I haven't read it. The movie was OK. I was expecting a loser, but it was OK.

I saw that movie several months ago. Not a bad movie but definitely an odd one.

Watched 'Devil's Due'. It's filmed in that jerky style like Blair Witch Project. That makes it difficult to watch and it's pretty dark on top of that. It's classified as "horror", but if you can't see things, how is it going to scare or horrify you ?

"After a mysterious, lost night on their honeymoon, a newlywed couple finds themselves dealing with an earlier-than-planned pregnancy."
Don't waste time or money on this one.

End of Watch was really good

This one looks good, especially with Eastwood directing.

I actually watched The Mummy today....the 1959 version.

Peter Cushing was the archeologist and Christopher Lee was the mummy. Hard to believe that as a kid, these movies were scary to us. It's almost comical now.

You gotta love it. It was a Hammer film!

As Cool As I Am.....

A smart teenage girl comes of age in a small town with her self-centered parents who had her when they were teenagers.
The girl who played the smart daughter is good actress....Sarah Bolger. Enjoyed her performance.
It's not a great movie, but it was an entertaining 92 minutes.
Clair Danes played the mom.

Storyline
Sixteen-year-old Lucy is a tomboy. She gets on well with her father but is frequently separated from him for months on end when he goes to work in Canada. Her relationship with her mother is easy-going and she takes care of most things around the house. She tunes into her sexuality and her not so 'stable' family dynamics. She develops a relationship with her best friend Kenny and starts to realize that her parents' marriage is not as solid as she had previously imagined. She notices that her father's extended stays away from the family are not typical, and that her mother does not pine for her father as much as she herself does.

The Notebook is on tonight. I've never seen it, so I'll either watch it or tape it.

I watched my recording of Peter Pan this afternoon. It was OK. I was surprised to see Minnie Driver as the adult Wendy at the end. I didn't know she was in it.

Christopher Walken is like 71, so he was moving pretty good. At least I was able to fast forward through all the ads and any of the songs that I didn't recognize. I enjoyed it.

Just finished watching Clint Eastwood's movie....Jersey Boys. I was thoroughly entertained with the music of my youth. We also saw Frankie Valli when he went on his own and performed in Vegas.

"The story of four young men from the wrong side of the tracks in New Jersey who came together to form the iconic 1960s rock group The Four Seasons."
Really enjoyed it.

I went to see Unbroken over the holiday and thought it was a very good movie. Very moving.
