It's Back: Exceelent Movies I've Seen Lately

[Funkley]

Finally saw Skyfall last night. I loved it. Went in expecting a lot and it still was a homerun.

Searching for Sugar Man - terrific documentary. 95% on RT and 8/10 on IMDB. Bizarre, uplifting and sad all at the same time. If you were to make this up, no-one would believe you. The galling thing is that Rodriguez played Belfast almost exactly one month ago and I knew nothing about it! GUTTED! I meant to watch this a couple of months ago too. Such a bad beat.

Dark Knight Rises ... Awful.

One of the worst movies I've ever seen.

Just saw Dark Knight Rises tonight, and while I won't say it was terrible, there were some major plot points that were just eye-rollingly ridiculous.

Family movie night double feature last night:

Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein
Abbott and Costello meet the Mummy

I hadn't send either of these and my 7 year old really enjoyed them.

I just love Abbott and Costello meets Frantkenstein! Just a great old movie.

Found a movie called Transsiberian in a bizarre random Internety way. Turns out to be a top notch suspense thrilller ... old fashioned in a way ... the kind of movie they don't make anymore. Stars Woody Harrelson, Emily Mortimer and Ben Kingsley. Worth a shot if you like suspense thrillers.

I've been wanting to see this ever since the "60 Minutes' tv show aired a story about him. The DVD will be out on January 22.

Here's the "60 minutes" clip on Rodriguez.

And his David Letterman clip.

"The Comfort of Strangers" is in the same vein if you havent seen that

We watched In Bruges last night. Acting was great. Filmed nicely. The set up took way too long. We almost bailed on it. While I am not disappointed that I stayed with it, I would not watch it again. Also kind of predictable. Seemed like the director tried way to hard to make it "art" for "arts" sake rather than a good movie. It ends up failing on both fronts turning what is good about the movie into just a very average movie with no reason to watch it again.

I had no expectations going in. Found it just flipping through the stations. When it was over I thought this could have been so much more. It was really the first half that brought the whole thing down.

Watched "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" last night. Very nice movie.

Hmm... that's what I thought about 7 Psychopaths (same director), but I loved In Bruges. I thought it was hysterical, and yet very tender at times.

I laughed out loud twice, and found a few other moments smile worthy. While I agree there were some tender moments, none of them happened in the first half hour to forty five minutes.

Watched "The Big Lebowski" again this afternoon. Great movie.
