We watched Foxcatcher last night, based on a true story about Dupont's heir and the US Olympic wrestling team in the 80's.
We finally got around to getting "Draft Day" from the library. Sure, it's about the Cleveland Browns, but I watched it mostly for the scenery! Meanwhile, Himself is busy picking out all of the scenes that were a bit "off" compared to the way the different parts of the city were strung together. Geez.
I'm gaining respect for Billy Bob Thornton. He was just excellent in 'Jayne Mansfield's Car.' I believe he was the director, too. Robert Duvall was the star; Kevin Bacon had a smaller but very important role. Very well done. It really wasn't about the car.
Watched John Wick last night, it was pretty entertaining if you are into shoot 'em up action flicks. There is already a second one in the works, I hope it will be as good as the first.
We also watched Fury. Not quite the movie I was expecting for some reason. It was the better of the two but I did have fun with both.
If the critics pan something it usually means I'll enjoy it.We went and saw "Jupiter Ascending" over the weekend. While the critics seemed to hate it, I didn't think it was that bad. The sets (mostly CGI, I'm sure) were very artistically done. And while the chemistry between Mila Kunis and that Tater Channing (Channing Tater, I forget which) wasn't great, I still thought it was a fun movie. The 3D was also done in such a way that it helped with the immersion aspect, without being a distraction as in some films. Within 5 minutes I even forgot I had the glasses on. I think that technology has come a long way over the past couple years, or at least it doesn't give me headaches like it used to.
