Last movie you watched......

[Evil ... Thy name is Orville Redenbacher!!]

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil.
It was stupid fun. I laughed out loud several times.

Every single time I watch "Sideways" I laugh my ass off during the scenes involving Miles retrieving Jack's wallet.

The couple having sex while GWB and Don Rumsfeld were on the television always makes me laugh really loud.

Absolutely! I almost mentioned that in the previous post, but neglected to. Giamatti's facial expressions as he discovers what is going on are priceless.

Got a date night this weekend and we saw "Sicario"; wow was that intense. Really enjoyable watch. Benicio Del Toro is fantastic. So was Brolin.

 

[I Should Coco]

Finally saw 'The Martian' and it was entertaining. The opening 10 minutes were (literally) a blast, but if you didn't read the book, the beginning of the movie probably was confusing.

Overall, I thought the movie was pretty faithful to the book (which I liked a lot), other than a bit of plot streamlining toward the end. A few more problems come up in the book than in the movie, but you can't have a four-hour movie, either.

Did you see my candles, lamp and serving tray?*


*They filmed that movie at my studio and had a garage sale after filming.

That's cool! Trying to remember which scene in the movie....

I take it there's also a long cave? They build one across two soundstages, using truckloads of styrofoam. The thing looked like a huge Habitrail.

Just watched 'Unbroken' over the weekend. That was bad.

 

[Evil ... Thy name is Orville Redenbacher!!]

The Circle. A Netflix movie that's mesh between 12 Angry Men and Survivor. Good, entertaining movie about humans judging one another. Not sure there's overall message and there's no resolve but I liked it.

Just saw Steve Jobs. A really watchable, enjoyable film but it might as well have been called Aaron Sorkin Lets It Rip. Characters wander up and down hallways, spewing rapid-fire dialogue at each other, dropping bits of trivia here and there.

Everyone speaks with the same voice, even the 5-year-old kid playing Jobs' daughter, and so you don't believe a single thing in it ever happened in real life. (Was there ever a company called Apple or does it just exist in Sorkinland? Or a city called, uh, San Francisco?)

1. I find Sorkin's work intolerable.
B. I find the Jobs mythology in explicable. He ran a successful tech company; he got fired; and then he got rehired and turned it into and incredibly successful tech company. I like Apple products. I own an iPhone, an iPad and a Mac Mini. I'm a fan, but the mythology makes no sense. He didn't invent the computer or even the home computer. He didn't invent digital music or the digital music player. He didn't invent the cell phone or the smartphone. The technology and the consumer products existed, and Apple made better versions. I like the products but am incapable of grasping the revolutionary importance of Steve Jobs.
