A tear jerker for sure.

I REALLY want to see this - and I am a huge Julianne Moore fan. Have this on my list.

These will arrive tomorrow:

The Hobbit - The Battle of the Five Armies

Atonement - This sweeping English drama, based on the book by Ian McEwan, follows the lives of young lovers Cecilia Tallis (Keira Knightley) and Robbie Turner (James McAvoy). When the couple are torn apart by a lie constructed by Cecilia's jealous younger sister, Briony (Saoirse Ronan), all three of them must deal with the consequences. Robbie is the hardest hit, since Briony's deception results in his imprisonment, but hope for Cecilia and her beau increases when their paths cross during World War II.

I saw Spare Parts, about 4 high school kids that enter an underwater robotics competition against college kids. It's based on a real story. The movie itself was okay. The story is what is so inspirational. George Lopez is in it with Jamie Lee Curtis and Marisa Tomei.

Saw Tomorrowland at the drive-in last night. I liked it, but I like almost all things Disney. It reminded me somewhat of the Young Adult/Hunger Games-type genre, and somewhat of the live action Disney movies of the 70s. George Clooney was very good in it. It was visually very exciting, in that immersion-in-wonder kind of Disney way. The story was pretty exciting in some parts, too, but it was too long and could probably have easily lost 15 minutes and been a better movie.

Well, before I took off for the wild I saw Still Alice - umm yes, a tear jerker for real. Julianne Moore was wonderful, as always.

I also saw John Wick with Keanu Reeves.

Legendary assassin John Wick (Keanu Reeves) retired from his violent career after marrying the love of his life. Her sudden death leaves John in deep mourning. When sadistic mobster Iosef Tarasov (Alfie Allen) and his thugs steal John's prized car and kill the puppy that was a last gift from his wife, John unleashes the remorseless killing machine within and seeks vengeance. Meanwhile, Iosef's father (Michael Nyqvist) -- John's former colleague -- puts a huge bounty on John's head.

Now I am not normally a Keanu Reeves fan, a friend of mine suggested this. I actually really liked it. Very good.

I would recommend both of these movies.

I saw Tomorrowland today. The movie itself was very good. The acting was well done and the visual cornucopia was spectacular.

BUT

In the first few minutes, I was thrown off by some mistakes made with young Frank's bag. One scene, the bag is wet. The next scene, the bag is dry. One scene, the bag is 3-4 feet away. The next scene, the bag was directly at his feet and he just picked it up. Those blatant mistakes distracted me from the movie for a little bit but I got into it shortly thereafter.

BUT

There was a surprise that tickled me to no end. THIS young man is in the movie. Anyone notice why I might be happy with that?

A prize goes to the first to see it.
