"Gimmie Shelter"

Based on a true story....quite moving, powerful, inspirational.

*Anya* · 02-10-2014, 05:07 PM

Soul Survivor.

Dallas Buyers Club

For some reason this movie just didn't grab me! In fact the only thing I enjoyed about it was Jared Leto.

homoe · 02-12-2014, 03:04 PM

Reaching for the Moon~

This movie is about the life of poet Elizabeth Bishop and focuses a lot on her life with Maria Carlota Costallat de Macedo Soares. This is one of the best movies I've seen in awhile!

Dallas Buyers Club

- the FDA does control "our" treatment options!

C0LLETTE · 02-12-2014, 04:17 PM

Hell on Wheels ( on Netflix) a second rate cross between Dancing With Wolves and Deadwood. It was shot in Alberta and that's really the only reason I'm watching it...to see if I recognise any of the scenery.
This thing got 4.5 stars which just goes to show you that you can't trust those Netflix ratings... and I've only got 16 more episodes to go.... oyyyyyy.

Jess · 02-12-2014, 04:24 PM

Went and saw Vampire High or academy... something like that.. very campy and I would be shocked if it didn't become a tv series ala Buffy/Charmed... keep expectations way low and enjoy the camp factor (hopefully it was intentional)

February is a WWII month for me.

I am viewing

Winds of Wars
War and Remembrance (based on Herman Wouk's Pulitzer Prize-winning novels.)

I study WWII in books and film; it is important that I know as much as possible with regard to the European Theatre, the Pacific Theatre and the Holocaust. It is also important that I understand WWII from strategic and geographical vantage points on land and sea.

Frozen Ground

It's based on a real story of a serial killer/rapist in Alaska that went on a killing spree of about 12 years. (Mostly prostitutes) Vanessa Hudgens played the part of Cindy, the girl that got away. I think she played the part so well and I read after that she met the real Cindy Paulson and that the part was really hard to play because they made the room that he kept the girls locked up in identicle to the real room. She said she couldn't help but feel really connected to the emotions the girls felt because she could see it so well what happened. John Cusack plays the killer and he said he felt horrible for her having to play that part and him having to play his part in doing those things to her so he asked Vanessa out for drinks with him and his friends after which I thought was cool. Nicholas Cage plays the main cop and he did awesome at his role too.

Elena Undone watches like a documentary. Small vignettes between bits of narration from a love guru mixed with personal comments from couples build a framework for a wonderful, loving, enlightening and arousing tale.

Actors: Necar Zadegan, Traci Dinwiddie
Directors: Nicole Conn

The acting is quality. It is not The Godfather or One Flew Over the coo coo nest. But very well done. The filming is marvelous. Again it is not Bergman's Fanny and Alexander. It is beautiful to look at none the less. Enjoy this one.

20 Feet from Stardom
My deepest respect and full acknowledgement of the soulful Darlene Love and her contribution to some of the greatest pop and soul music recorded through the years. May the Oscar go to you, great lady.

cinnamongrrl · 02-24-2014, 06:18 PM

I rented Safe House with Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds....
it was incredibly engaging....non stop action... I typically do other things while watching tv/movies...this kept me occupied the entire time

C0LLETTE · 02-24-2014, 07:21 PM

I miss the days of great French mystery/thrillers by Claude Chabrol, the fabulous Italian films with Monica Vitti , Sophia, Gina,and Claudia, the fantasies of Fellini, the grit of De Sica, the westerns of Sergio Leone, the spectacles of David Lean, the surprises of Hitchcock, and so so much more... I think younger generations really have been deprived of the "magic of the movies".. today's movies are so "small", so smugly self-absorbed, so miserably over-marketed and hyped that people are afraid to say they "stink"...I mean, really, wtf was so good about American Hustle?

*Anya* · 02-24-2014, 08:47 PM

"Prisoners” stars Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Viola Davis, Maria Bello, Terrence Howard, with Melissa Leo, and Paul Dano.

82% of critics and 87% audience liked it on Flixster ratings

Suspenseful movie! Very well-done.

Your child is missing. Every second counts. How far would you go? When his six year old daughter Anna goes missing along with her friend Joy, Keller Dover faces every parent's worst nightmare. The only lead is a dilapidated RV that had been spotted earlier on the street. Detective Loki is put in charge of the investigation and immediately arrests the driver of the RV, Alex Jones, however a lack of physical evidence forces them to release him. With the police pursuing different leads to no avail and his family life disintegrating, a desperate Keller decides to take matters into his own hands. But just how far will he go to save his daughter?

Cloudburst

"Stella and Dot, a lesbian couple, escape from their nursing home and head to Canada to get married. Along the way, they pick up a young male hitchhiker, a troubled soul who has much to learn about courage from the two ladies."

was a funny yet sad comedy...the characters were a bit over played but that's what made it funny.

StillettoDoll · 03-09-2014, 05:59 PM

This past week I saw all these movies ... Trying to catch up. All were great!!!
