Whiplash

Teacher uses brutal methods to bring out the best in his students.

I enjoyed it even though it had a typical hollywood ending. It will probably earn an oscar or two.

I found this listing in a Leonard Maltin movie book so thought I'd check it out.
Moved sorta slow, hard to figure out what was what, but boy the end sure threw you a curve ball! Check it out and see what you think

A romantic drama centered on two new lovers: Tyler, whose parents have split in the wake of his brother's suicide, and Ally, who lives each day to the fullest since witnessing her mother's murder

Wolf of Wall Street

For some reason I was looking forward to this. This was one of those I put on and it flunked the 30 minute test. I couldn't figure what was wrong so I looked at the reviews online to see if I was thinking of something else. Nope, great reviews all lined up. Cast, check, potentially interesting story, check, directed by Martin Scorsese, yep.

So, back I went since obviously I was just off to a bumpy start. Rich frat boy party scenes one after the other. 3 hours of it, it took two evenings for me to get through it. I wish they would have taken the story line (all 90 minutes of it), sprinkled in several shorter hooker fests (say, 30 minutes) and come out with a more interesting 2 hour film that would have been a decent portrait of the times and this man. It's the other full hour of what seemed to be purely gratuitous party/drug footage that irritated me.

I want my money back, and it was free.

Obviously my opinion is in the minority, so enjoy.

Unpopular opinion or not, I'm with you Kelt, I didn't like it. I think I lasted 15mins and knew it wasn't for me. Lots of the right ingredients but not to my taste.

I watched Whiplash t'other night. It was really enjoyable as Orema said. Not earth shattering but a decent movie. Another recommend for it from me.

I had missed this preview earlier, it looks like something I will like. Sadly, I can't get it on Netflix yet so it's in the 'saved' queue. Hmm.

Garavito: The World’s Worst Serial Killer

20th centuries most prolific serial killer is largely unknown throughout the world, though he brutally murdered at least 140 children, posing as a priest or teacher he lured poor young boys away from their families, raped them and murdered them. Committing his crimes in various regions of Columbia South America in the 1990's he managed to elude authorities for nine long years.

VERY SAD and sickening

Ditto here. I gave it 15 to 20 minutes and jumped ship. I'd rather watch a good movie 10 times than a bad one once. Obviously, we're in the minority. (shrug)

This made me think of the movie Perfume (though Perfume is not based on a true story and neither is it documentary). I started watching Perfume but had to stop. I've watched some films on serial killers (Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Silence of the Lambs, some mess on Jeffrey Dahmer, and of course Psycho), but I just can't do it anymore. Especially when the victims are children. Thank goodness they caught his ass.

Thanks for the heads-up on this. Will avoid it

I should have followed my gut. My normal line is 20 minutes and I had already gone over. It was like a bad investment you just watch keep sinking.

Maybe I just needed a reminder.

homoe · 01-14-2015, 05:05 PM

I know there has been lots of buzz about this flick, but IMHO huge waste of time!

First, the movie never ends up anywhere. Second, maybe I should of taken a cue by the title Boyhood! There is also a daughter in the movie, but not as much focus is shown on her life as the sons. Third, outside of showing how these young kids age, I'm not sure what Linklater was trying to do!

Fancy · 01-15-2015, 07:46 AM

Took the family to see The Imitation Game and 3 outa 4 of us cried before the end. What a powerful and well produced story. I know my daughter just wanted to see her crush Benedict, and I was skeptical, but he knocked it outa the park. Great performances all round.

pamela · 01-15-2015, 09:38 AM

i just saw the recent Hunger Games film. it was good. part 2 should be fine

homoe · 01-17-2015, 06:14 PM

Appropriate Behavior

Hirin is struggling to become an ideal Persian daughter, politically correct bisexual and hip young Brooklynite but fails miserably in her attempt at all identities. Being without a cliché to hold onto can be a lonely experience.

Read a good review about the movie, previews looked good too, but well just didn't do much for me at least. Check it out and see what you think

Annie. I liked this remake. I am also a fan of the original.

"Into the Woods"
I love Sondheim and fairy tales so what's not to love right?
Wrong
I felt like I was being beat about the head and shoulders with the same song over and over and over AND it just carried on FOREVER.
I left before it was over, so disappointing. A big fat thumbs down
(I did adore Johnny Depp as the big bad wolf though, rrrrraawwrrr)

I felt the same way. I wanted to like it, but it was very disappointing. I love Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt.

I just watched:

'Fury' (Brad Pitt) which was very good despite all the gore.
'Wild' (Reese Witherspoon) which as good but not as good as the hype.
