Last movie you watched......

The Lone Ranger

Dreck. Funny in spots, but most of the humor is absurd and tongue-in-cheek about the absurdity of the characters, so it kind of works. The story is too diajointed. Does every film have to include flashbacks and non-linear story telling? The action scenes were too bogged down by barely passable CGI and the gun fights were A-Team cartoonish in that no one could hit anything, except for the ambush sequence in which everyone is a damn sniper.

 

Rush is probably my favorite film of last year.

 

The presence of Chris Berman is a deal-breaker for me. Won't be seeing it.

 

Philomena over the weekend on demand. I've always been fascinated by the "get in touch with long-lost relative" genre, and this one was very well done.

 

I think you're overpraising it with 'OK.'
It was bad.

I've seen a lot worse, but it was not good.

 

I was stunned at how bad 42 was and even more stunned at how many baseball writers just heaped praise on it.

 

The whole thing had a movie of the week sheen to it.

But then again, I think Dallas Buyers Club did too.

 

I was surprised, too, that it got any favorable response.

 

Hollywood loves movies about white people rescuing black people. The Blind Side got nominated for Best Picture, for God's sake.

 

Rewatched LA Confidential.
Man, I love that movie.
I go nuts when Crowe breaks the chair and bursts into the interrogation room. And Basinger is stunning.

 

Yeah the missus and I did too recently. Basinger is smoldering.

 

Um, I've worked in the front office of a team (not football) on draft day and none of the women in the office, including me, were wearing khakis, a button down and flats.
