That's good news for Clooney because he had some stinkers recently. I really like him and have since his E.R. days. I even liked him in Facts of Life, but he was a relative unknown then.

I sure have enjoyed the Godfather movies and the Godfather Saga all this week. Today I watched Donnie Brasco for probably the 10th time....I never realized Paul Giamatti was in it too. Saw Goodfellas again too.
Weird to see Ray Liotta as a hot gangster as opposed to his role where Hannibal Lechter is frying his brains for agent Starling. Really runs the gamut!

Did the Redbox thing and rented "The Girl With the Dragon Tatoo". It was a strange movie.....pretty good, but strange.
For the first minute or two I kept turning up the sound because I thought they were speaking a foreign language.......turns out the accents were just thick. Took a few minutes to get used to them.
This is one girl you don't want to mess with !!!!

Rented "Carnage". Loved it. Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet, John C. Reilly and Christopher Waltz. A Roman Polanski film.
Two couples meet over a bullying incident that took place between their sons at school. It's a comedy/drama.
Terrific writing........It all takes place in one of the couple's homes, so the dialogue is key to keeping your interest. No guns or bombs in this one.

We saw this one in the theater. I thought it a very good movie as well. Very dark but good. I want to read the books.

I heard a comment and it made sense to me.
There's a movie out there about bullying but it's rated 'R' and therefore the target audience can't go see it, yet it would have a good lesson for them. It contains a language warning.........like the teens of today never heard a swear word....think Cee Lo.
Then there's "Hunger Games" where teens kill each other for food and it's a 'PG13' rating and OK for kids to see.
Something's wrong with this.

The whole movie rating system is a kinda shady, check out This Film is Not Yet Rated for an interesting look at it.

For a couple of weeks I've been checking Redbox for the movie "The Skin I live In". I was talking to a lady and she asked what movie I was waiting for and I told her. She said it was a very good movie. You'd think she would've told me about the subtitles !! I read the RedBox review and never noticed 'subtitles' mentioned.
I just spent 2 hours reading subtitles from a Spanish movie with Antonio Banderas. I'm not sure if it was good or not. When I saw it was subtitles, I was ready to eject it and fuggedaboutit!! I couldn't turn it off. I wanted to see where it was going.
Hubby actually stayed awake for it and said, "It really wasn't that bad." That's a raging endorsement!

Whenever we watch foreign films we always choose the subtitles instead of the english dubbing, I think you get much truer sense of the director's vision that way. With dubbing I think you almost always lose some things in translation. I want to see that movie btw.

Watched "Tower Heist" tonight. Lots of names in that one. Alan Alda, Ben Stiller, Casey Affleck, Eddie Murphy, Matthew Broderick, Tea Leoni and Judd Hirsch.
Lots of parts of it were sort of unbelievable, but it's a comedy, not a true story. It's worth the Redbox rental fee.

I have been looking forward to the re-release of Titanic in 3-D and was not disappointed. I forgot just how good of a movie it was and the 3-D made it just that much better. There were a few scenes where the 3-D actually put the character in the foreground out of focus for a few seconds but beyond that the 3-D enhanced the experience.
If you do go keep in mind it is 193 minutes long. In other words, make sure you go before you go.
Finding Nemo is being re-released in 3-D this fall.

I remember being amazed at that movie when it came out. Maybe we'll catch that 3d version.

Isn't it time to put racism aside and just enjoy the movies regardless of the color of the actors?

It was bad enough knowing this all took place in "Conehead Country" !!

I watched "The Three Stooges". No thinking required. No impact on the real world. Strong comedic overtones.
