Oh, forgot to comment on S.L P. and P.L.
First, these days I"m always thinking movies are too freaking long and drawn out. Yes, I get that the guy is in despair, but I got it 5 minutes ago -- move along already! Big corporations are always an easy target, but the issues aren't so clear cut all the time either. So, sometimes I get a little irritated by preachiness of some movies. For instance Argo that portrayed the Lone Cowboy going up against the system -- First, it never happened, and second, it never would happen.
Back to the issue. P.L. has good actors and they are enjoyable to watch. The story was a bit simplistic, or so I thought. Bribing public officials is a crime, and certainly would not be done so casually. But, I get the point. This is a bit like that George Clooney movie I enjoyed, but was left feeling that setting up a big corporation like the KGB, was a bit of an easy story line. What was the name of that movie? Tilda Swinton was in it too.
Silver Lining Playbook for me was a nice feel good rom com. I'm always a bit uncomfortable with the idea that mental illness can be overcome simply with the love of a good woman or in some other easy peasy way. Oh, and that "dance" wouldn't have scored even a 2 in a ballroom competition. :lol: :lol: I wanted to say to the actor --- YOUR FRAME!! Where is your frame? Straighten those shoulders! Also, is Jennifer Lawrence tall or is Bradley Cooper short? He's a very attractive man anyway. And what was the point of having Martin Lawrence in the movie? I thought his character was entertaining, but it added zilch to the story line. It smacked of marketing to me.
:lol: So you can see what it's like to go to the movies with me!! :lol: Luckily, I rarely speak while a movie is playing. I got some good laughs out of S.L.P. Also some out of P.L. I think John Krasinsky (or however it is spelled) is a very appealing guy.
