I am keeping lists this year. More for myself – just how many movies do I see. And what am I watching?
As we reach are approaching the halfway point of the year – thought I’d show you guys. It’s pretty long. Too long I think for any real review because it would be epic. But I’m going to try give a three word review for each. I’m backlogged so I’m starting with January now, but I’ll make it monthly after this.
Doris W. I hope this will draw some comments out of you. I know you have a three word review in you too.
A little context – it was cold, I was sick, there was a lot of time on my couch
January/February 2012
1 – The American – quiet, paced well
2 – Ocean’s 11 – still like it
3 – Ocean’s 12 – sick on couch
4 – Ocean’s 13 – still on couch
5 – Hereafter – preachy, lifeless, forgettable
6 – Temple Grandin – surprising, engaging, opening
7 – Dogville – why hate women?
8 – His Way, The Jerry Weintraub Story – Hollywood is nuts
9 – Centurion – Michael Fassbender’s abs

19 – F Word – fun facts, light
20 – Machete – fun then old
21 – A Team – sick again, dumb
22 – Dark Corner (doc about area in South Carolina) – dull doc, bad
23 – Hot Coffee – super engaging doc
24 – Bobby Fischer Against the World – Genius, bigot, cracked
25 – The Last Station – Plummer is terrific
What about Hugo 3D, but not in my living room and not in 3D? Have I missed my window?
I’ve never seen Starship Troopers. Please prioritize this with Inherit the Wind and Temple Grandin. I will watch them all, but which demands my immediate attention?
I think the 3D is really well done – I could feel my stomach jump. But it’s still worth seeing without the 3D. Starship Troopers is awful with a super gross alien. I recommend seeing it with someone because you will be making comments.
Inherit the Wind
Temple Grandin
Starship Poopers
