Hi Fancy. Julie and I went to see Birdman for our Valentine's date and both of us left the theater thinking "that was interesting." Cinematography was great. I really felt like I was right there in this dank Broadway dressing room pondering the similarities of my life and that of the character. I think Michael Keaton did a good acting job. Not his usual comic schtick. I could see where the movie does get some buzz but I really do not see it bringing home an Oscar except for maybe Michael Keaton getting the Best Actor award. I would say go see it before the Oscar Awards next Sunday night.

We went and saw 50 Shades of Grey. We had some good laughs, enjoyed the more intimate scenes. Without having read the books though, you would be a bit lost as they sort of rushed the story a bit I feel like. Lots of back story missing that make it come together better than it does in the movies.

Went to the cheap theater to see Dracula Untold, and gotta say that was the best $1 I ever spent on a movie. I was very surprised that I enjoyed it! I guess when you have low expectations it's easy to be impressed. :-)

Watched ST Vincent last night.
Even tho IMHO it's one of those types of movies that doesn't know if it wants to be a comedy or drama, I still enjoyed it. Was much more serious than I was expecting that's for sure |

Kill the Messenger
Based on the True story of Journalist Gary Webb. The film takes place in the mid 1990s, when Webb uncovered the CIA's past role in importing huge amounts of cocaine into the U.S. that was aggressively sold in ghettos across the country to raise money for the Nicaraguan Contras rebel army. Despite enormous pressure not to, Webb chose to pursue the story and went public with his evidence, publishing the series "Dark Alliance". As a result he experienced a vicious smear campaign fueled by the CIA. At that point Webb found himself defending his integrity, his family, and his life. Starring Jeremy Renner. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1216491/...?ref_=tt_ov_pl Excellent movie.

My Opinion Only
Boyhood
Why? Film made no sense. Completely fragmented, non-linear pieces of film sliced together to make what avant garde art types think is film-making. Drek. St. Vincent Well executed, well-acted portrayal of life, love and loss. Time worthy. Birdman Mind numbing drum banging; chaotic, like bad jazz. It eludes me why this film is so awarded. I'm happy for Michael Keaton that his career is boosted. Again, avant-garde, which is not a bad thing, except here it might be. |

Kingsman: The Secret Service
Good watch. Clever action film loosely based on The Secret Service comics. Samuel L. Jackson, as usual, made the movie. |

I love the dollar show
I just saw "Intersteller" it was good, 3 hours long though although I hardly noticed the time passing.
I especially liked the blend of science fiction and science fact. It is rare to run into a good science fiction movie and this was certainly that. The General Theory of Relativity and Dylan Thomas got more air play in this movie than any other I have ever seen. I would have enjoyed it even at the regular price theater

Well lets see. I've been watching netflix this weekend.
Frida ~ painter Frida Kahlo's relationship with her husband and her controversial political and sexual reputation. (interesting depiction of her life) Proof ~ A devoted daughter must face her fears as she comes to terms with the death of her father, a brilliant mathematician crippled by mental instability. Breaking Dawn ~ When a med student is assigned to interview a psychiatric patient about a murder, she's shocked to discover that he already knows plenty about her. (there is indeed a twist) The Hunting Party ~ A struggling journalist sets out with a fellow reporter and a cameraman to hunt down Bosnia's most notorious war criminal, known as "The Fox." (based on a true story) |

Rosenstrasse (2003 Germany with subtitles)
After the death of her father, Hannah becomes concerned with the strange behavior of her mother. As her mother's troubled childhood is revealed, Hannah realizes how little she ever knew. This was a very interesting movie and indeed there was a group of women that did protest and win release of many men. |

The Emperor's Club (2002) Jesse Eisenberg Kevin Kline, Emile Hirsch
Kevin Kline is an idealistic prep school teacher attempts to redeem an incorrigible student. We watched this Friday night and it was very good SPOILER ALERT: Not exactly the happy ending that so many of these types of movies seem to have! |

Hey Greyson! I actually started another thread asking if anyone had seen Birdman after I saw it back in October. My friend and I walked out of the theater saying that this movie was Brilliant and unique! Definitely was going to win a lot of awards. We just weren't sure if we LIKED it or not! I fully understand and agree with your reaction to it. |

Citizenfour (2014)Director: Laura Poitras
Stars: Edward Snowden, Glenn Greenwald, William Binney A documentarian and a reporter travel to Hong Kong for the first of many meetings with Edward Snowden. Enjoyed it a lot, and also the added William Binney footage and testimony on the NSA skullduggery was a plus! Sidebar: It did crack me up as Edward sat there on the bed STILL using his computer!

I saw this today even though I went to the theatre to see another movie.
It was pretty formulaic but I liked it. Mae Whitman is a darling girl. This is what I intended to see and will have to catch later this weekend. I did, however, see some trailers for movies I definitely want to catch when they come out. And who doesn't want to see the next Paul Blart movie? |

Whether there is zero reason for them to collect data on you or not: they are doing it! Citizenfour just won this the Academy Award for best documentary film and we saw it on HBO last night. "In January 2013, Laura Poitras received an encrypted e-mail from a stranger who called himself Citizen Four. In it, he offered her inside information about illegal wiretapping practices of the NSA and other intelligence agencies. Poitras had already been working for several years on a film about monitoring programs in the US, the result of the September 11 attacks. In June 2013, accompanied by investigative journalist Glenn Greenwald and The Guardian intelligence reporter Ewen MacAskill, she went to Hong Kong with her camera for the first meeting with the stranger, who identified himself as Edward Snowden. Several other meetings followed. The recordings gained from the meetings form the basis of the film". Wiki
