1.
R.I.P.D. (2013): I am dumber for having watched this, really.
2.
Captain Phillips (2013): Astounding performances all around and had the ability to humanize the kidnappers.
3.
The Lego Movie (2014): "Everything is awesome!" is right!
4.
Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (2014): Those damn Russians keep trying to take over the world; it's a good thing we have Jack Ryan to save us ;)
5.
Lee Daniels' The Butler (2013): Fantastic look between maintaining the status quo and fighting for one's rights.
6.
Prisoners (2013): A hard and disturbing look at what a person is willing to do to save a loved-one.
7.
Blue Jasmine (2013): An interesting and well-acted story on the destruction of one's way of life.
8.
Gravity (2013): Absolutely beautiful cinematography and special effects but there was no story and that was disappointing.
I've seen 3 of these (for once!). I think we agree on The Butler and probably on Gravity (I think one's enjoyment of the movie might depend on the size of the screen it was viewed on). I did like Prisoners better than you did. I actually look forward to watching it for a second time.It had everything I love in a gritty thriller (book or movie).
ReplyDeleteYour thoughts on RIPD made me laugh and are the reason I;ve avoided it so far even though it has Ryan Reynolds and I don't see how that cannot be enjoyable :)
The Lego Movie looks so funny!
