Just a few lines (in random order) to help you catch up on my movie watching. :)
- The Ides of March | Disappointing fictionalized depiction of Howard Dean's 2004 presidential run. | ★★★★
- Hugo | Wonderful and magical story of a young boy grieving the loss of his dad. | ★★★★★★★★
- Hanna | Edgy spy flick involving a teenage girl coming to terms with her dark history. | ★★★★★
- One Day | Improbable but fairly enjoyable Ann Hathaway romantic comedy. | ★★★★★★
- Midnight in Paris | Great and whimsical Woody Allen flick that might get you dreaming a bit | ★★★★★★★★
- Win Win | Surprising and endearing story of a lost boy and the family who rescued him. | ★★★★★★★★
- In Time | Good SciFi story about a world where the currency is your remaining minutes and hours. | ★★★★★★
- Contagion | Wasn't sure I would like it but I did enjoy the suspense and intrigue that unfolded. | ★★★★★
- Cowboys and Aliens | Indiana Jones, James Bond and the Old West fight aliens. Marvelous! | ★★★★★★
- Real Steel | Pleasantly surprised. Reminded me of Rocky a bit. Not that good but pretty enjoyable. | ★★★★★★★
- My Week with Marilyn | Looked forward to this one but felt that it fell short of expectations. | ★★★★★★★
- Drive | Strange and intense Ryan Gosling vehicle. The word that best describes it is "weird". | ★★★
As you can see, my movie watching these past few months is a bit of a mixed bag. No really great flicks in the mix.
Thanks for the movie ideas. I've been in my post child birth movie slump for the most of the last 6 months. No reason for it really. I watch a bunch of movies, and then I go a long time without it.
