Courtesy of Redbox, I'll be watching this tomorrow:
And tonight, because the girl needs it, I will watch this movie again: But not this version of it: If you like your trailers honest, then you might like this version: |
Well..... I just watched Frozen and have to say that I loved it!! I found myself gushing over Sven and little Olaf! I want them for my very own!! I'm still grinning. I might have to watch it again before I return it to redbox lol.
What can I say?? I'm a sap. |

:blink: Luckily, I've seen it before but I really wanted to see it again. I did see When the Game Stands Tall and it was actually better than I thought it would be, so I was happy about that. Looks like I'll be digging into my own personal stash of animated features tonight. Will it be Brave? How to Train Your Dragon 2? Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Monsters Inc.? Chicken Run? Cars? Madagascar? The possibilities are endless. |
I finally watched We Bought a Zoo....
I had started reading the book many moons ago, then left it at work and it disappeared... The book (a true story, if I remember correctly) actually takes place in England. This was adapted to take place in California....reallyyyy close :blink: Interesting factoid: I watched the credits and the author and his children play visitors at the zoo. I love little nuances like that :) |
Totally forgot; I started watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I'm on the second movie. The Two Towers.
I do really enjoy the movies. There is a lot of detail and I am trying to watch each one twice for that reason. Also, am I cray cray or does Harry Potter borrow more than a little from these stories (as far as some characters are concerned)?? |
We just saw Wild with Reese Witherspoon.
Amazing movie. So worth a watch. My GF said it hews pretty closely to the book. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2305051/ |
hunger games -mockingjay

20,000 Days on Earth (2014)
Directors: Iain Forsyth, Jane Pollard Writers: Nick Cave, Iain Forsyth This isn’t a document on his career more like an insight in his enigmatic character. I always find it interesting to see the construction of a piece of ‘art’ and i don’t know of many documentaries that have this as a narrative. When he started recording his new album, Push the Sky Away, he’d been alive 20,000 days and the film also shows aspects of his day…. It also showed a lot of Brighton. One for Nick Cave fans really, like the majority of documentaries about musicians or rock stars, if your not interested in the artist then the whole experience may be lost on you. Husband's review. I liked it a lot, but I adore Nick Cave. |
Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)
Director: James Gunn Writers: James Gunn, Nicole Perlman The comic isn’t really know to me but some of the characters are. The science fantasy and humour work well as the story isn’t very complex. I’m glad i waited until i rented though. If people liked this so much why didn’t they like John Carter? Husband's review. I so hated it!!!!!!!!!! I ended up painting my nails half way through it! What a bunch of utter shit! I liked John Carter a lot more! And that is saying something! |
Don Jon
A fabulous directorial debut from Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who also plays the eponymous Johnny. Set in NJ, Jon is obsessed with porn and girls, in that order. This story illustrates how Jon learns the difference from 'doing sex to...', a one-sided, porn influenced, image conscious version of sex to a fully engaged, in the moment, flood of feeling version of 'having sex with...'. There's more of course but you get the gist. Thoroughly enjoyed the tale and hope you do too if you decide to give it chance. Thanks for the recommend Leftwritefemme :thumbsup: Also watched... Flight Not yer average disaster movie. Infact not really a disaster movie at all. MsScottysponsee recommended it. It's a tale of heroism, addiction, denial, cowardice and avoidance of responsibility. A fab performance from Denzel. |
Hunger Games: Catching Fire (watched last night)
Oh dear lord! Am I the only one who really doesn't buy Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss? The films are mildly distracting where the books are engrossing, despite being appallingly written. [I'm currently reading the first one out loud for the enjoyment of another and am grateful for the easy vocab. and simple structure. I read the trilogy ages ago and am enjoying listening in to the story as well as reading it]. I really don't know what it is about the HG films that have meant I've not warmed to them. Not so sure if it's just Lawrence in the lead role that spoils it for me. It was the same with the Thomas Harris books vs the film versions. The films never lived up to expectations having read and thoroughly enjoyed the books long before. Anyone else have this issue with films of books they've enjoyed prior to seeing the films? |
Chinatown, a classic with Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway :movieguy:

My biggest beef is bad remakes. "The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3" comes to mind. |
Last movie at the cinema watch was Paddington
Last movie on tv, can't remember. |
Blind Faith (1998) with Courtney B Vance and Charles S Dutton
This is a excellent movie and definitely worth seeing if you can locate it:movieguy: (MAKE sure you double check as there are several movies with this same title) |
Daktari, while I'm not into the Hunger Games (books or movies) I certainly had issues with Thomas Wolfe's book Bonfire of the Vanities being turned into a movie. What were they thinking:seeingstars:
|
I finally got my Frozen fix. I had to buy the damn movie but I got it. And I got to hear "Let It Go" by 3 different singers.

This Is Where I Leave You
It was ok, liked the movie way more than the book:movieguy: |
