Bad Blogger

With Gchat, Facebook, Twitter, and the ever listening ears of my friends, I just haven't felt the need to share my cinema opinions with the blogosphere. Still for my own records, here's a brief summary of some films I've seen over the past few months and what I've thought of them (very briefly).

Win Win - Felt like a film school exercise that managed to attract some excellent actors (Paul Giamatti, Amy Ryan). Not a lot here. But passable.

Scream 4 - Nothing could keep me from seeing this film. Literally nothing. Rabid wolves. Anyway, it was fine.

Water for Elephants -- Actually terrible. Like I walked out of this film. I was so bored and angry. Lack of chemistry. Worst.

Midnight in Paris - Really enjoyed. Felt like an insider knowing all the art references. Wanted to walk right into the movie and live in this beautiful Parisian world of the 20s with Ernest Hemingway.

Super Eight - A blockbuster with a heart and some nice cinematography. Compelling, supernatural, well-acted (Elle and Kyle Chandler, and the little boy -- new find!)

Bad Teacher -- Expectations were all time low, but it was fine. Like a great movie to watch on a plane.

Tree of Life -- WHAT? WAS? THAT? Beautifully shot, but super strange. Once I get my bearings, I will decide if I liked it.
