Not the kind of scary that makes you squirm in your seat. More the kind that works on you after the movie is over. A relentless mind game with DiCaprio and Ruffalo offering great performances.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The greyest ever

It was a close adaption from the McCarthy's novel, but like the book, this is not for everyone. If you are looking for an uplifting, feel-good holiday movie, then look elsewhere. This is bleak, grey, dreary. But then there is a small sprinkling of hope. And hope we must have, though maybe we should make sure that we take steps to avoid this apocalypsis in the first place.
Viggo Mortensen is the movie, but I so disappointed was I with Smit-McPhee. Perhaps he was selected because he looked so much like Theron (his mother), but he seemed uncomfortable. It wasn't until almost the end that he relaxed and became more believable. As I watched, I kept thinking that a better choice would have really made this movie spectacular.

that this movie is about. It is about her sister, played by Ann Hathaway, in a truly breakout role. I liked the slowness of the movie, but admittedly there were some flaws and some spots were a tad overdone. Weddings and family get-togethers sound romantic and nostalgic, but so often bring out our inner weaknesses, doubts, rivalries and more. That's why this movie resonated with me. Plus shedding a few tears even felt cathartic.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

It's a sweet little love story. Just get passed the "f" word and you will laugh and enjoy the innocent love story that unfolds before your eyes.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Not your typical Coen Bros offering, but nevertheless totally enjoyable with many laughts. Great characters: loved that Brad Pitt could laugh at himself; thought Tilda Swinton to be swiney, Clooney was spot on and Frances McDormand naive and clueless – what a bunch to watch closeup! For an added bonus there was a knock at the government, especially the CIA.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

As my husband describes, I usually like depressing Spanish movies, so perhaps I am not the audience that Dark Knight is geared toward. But, I love going to the movies and had to see what everyone was raving about. So we went to the newest theater in town, with the huge screen and all the latest in sound systems. So much action...I could have gotten the point in 30 less minutes. I did like both Batman and the Joker, definitely well acted, but was that such a great story? I get the moral and the huge universal questions, but I didn't need to be beaten over the head with it. I guess that's why I still have a headache this morning.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Several young people left the theater mid way through the movie which was such a shame. Here was a wonderfully moving glimpse of aging people who showed vigor and an enjoyment of life that is too often lacking. They made us laugh and they made us cry...and they kindly offered great advice: the show must go on, so put yourself into it and you will get out even more from it.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
