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.

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)

the little woman likes romance movies....so, I picked up "About Time" was pretty good..had a lesson to be learned, a great love story, and caused me to chuckle several times.

Waiting for the Moon
with
Linda Hunt, Linda Bassett, Jacques Boudet, Andrew McCarthy, Bernadette Lafont

This is based on the lives of Gertrude Stein and Alice B Toklas. It is a wonderful story of their beautiful relationship.

Counselor.

Wow..this movie is a psychological thriller and it does the job. Its directed by
Ridley Scott. The cast includes Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Brad Pitt &
Javier Bardem.

The plot is described as "a lawyer becomes involved in a crooked deal and it goes horribly wrong." Or some description like that. It neglects to add that Cameron Diaz plays a magnificent psychopath, and this added to the fact that it involves the depravity of the drug cartels, and a strong existential theme throughout the movie.

Aside from the fact that the movie is so disturbing it knocked me off my mental facilities for a bit, which I enjoy, it also has been written superbly. The dialogue is penetrating, twitchy, philosophical.

I highly recommend this one.

WNUF Halloween Special... an interesting, quirky sort of horror film presented as a VHS recording of a channel's halloween special in the 80s... lots of attention to detail paid to get that real 80s television feeling... not particularly scary tho with a creepy climax scene, but interesting for all the meticulous presention of 80s minutiae

ProfPacker · 02-15-2014, 11:36 PM

just finishing seeing Dallas Buyer's Club. It was very good and the acting was outstanding, even if I don't particularly like Matthew McConnaughy

*Anya* · 02-16-2014, 08:07 AM

Afternoon Delight

Story of Rachel (actress Kathryn Hahn) a stay-at-home mom who becomes obsessed with changing the life of a sex worker named McKenna.

Rachel has lost touch with herself and with her husband (Josh Radner) and McKenna becomes her focus, instead of her own life.

She brings McKenna home to be the live-in nanny to her 5-year old son and the ripples extend to her marriage, her group of married friends and to herself.

McKenna's life has been no picnic and the actress Juno Temple, does such an outstanding job of showing her inherent sweetness and the losses that she, herself, has experienced. It also is very matter-of-fact about McKenna's jobs and is much less judgmental about her work than movies usually are.

Jane Lynch is her Therapist (greatly in need of therapy herself) and is wonderful.

Written and directed by Jill Soloway.

I truly enjoyed this movie.

I laughed and I cried. It touched me.

I can tell you the girlfriend did not relate to Rachel as I did (no tears) but we talked about it afterward and it opened a really good dialogue between us..

What more can you ask from a movie?

cinnamongrrl · 02-16-2014, 08:47 AM

I just saw Perks of being a Wallflower....

I liked it a lot. It appealed to my inner teen....

LoyalWolfsBlade · 02-16-2014, 07:48 PM

The Host was the last movie I just finished and it was not a horror movie but I actually enjoyed it for a romance family type movie with a touch of Sci-fi

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.

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.
