Went to "the Forest" -with my 12 year old scary movie buff. It was good since the lead actress is purdy. The dialog lame and premise not that frightening. Good for the both of us to see though.

I wish the director of "The Life of Oharu" hadn't pulled his punches. He should have thrown in a scene where someone gives Oharu a cute puppy, only for some man to come by and strangle it.The Third Man wrote:Stay the [expletive] away from Sansho, the Bailiff in that case.Vidor wrote:Watched "The Life of Oharu".

Re: movies
I just finished Interstellar. I guess the best way I can describe it is a noble failure.
I loved the high concept sci-fi, but the overt touchy freely stuff really detracted from the film.

Re: movies
yeah, pretty spot on. I wonder if I would have liked the Martian more if it wasn't the third in a string of this new brand of sci fi we're getting a bunch recently. It wasn't as grand as the other two but it had the plot strength that the others were lacking.Michael wrote:I just finished Interstellar. I guess the best way I can describe it is a noble failure.

I would have been dancing out of the theater shadow boxing but I hurt my hip getting out of my chair. The young people were shadow boxing though.stlouie_lipp wrote:"Creed" is getting great reviews. Some even saying it deserves to be nominated for multiple Academy Awards.
I liked Creed a lot and I've talked to a lot of others who felt the same. I kind of wondering if they were all just telling me that and then making fun of me behind my back like "I can't believe that idiot liked Creed."

Re: movies
I noticed a couple of movie stations on cable that hadn't been there before - Sony, and Sundance. I DVRd "reservoir dogs" and was excited to see it for first time, and was disappointed they bleep out swear words. Had to stop watching it.
