lurkerwithoutI haven't done one of these in a while. Which explains why so many movies. Caught Million Dollar Arm in the theaters way back at the start of Summer. Cute, formulaic Disney movie. John Hamm is charming even when being a jack-ass. And I like that they go looking for Indian cricket players to try and convert to baseball and get a pair of more general track and field types...
Also from the actual theater was the recent Dwayne Johnson Hercules. Which reminded me more than a bit of his Scorpion King movie. Together they make me wonder, if like Vin Diesel, Johnson also has an Awesome D&D Campaign I Really Want to Tell Everyone About...
Inside Llewyn Davis was wonderfully made, has some great folk music, great acting all round and a lead character I wanted to see die in an alley. Fucking cat abandoner...
Blue is the Warmest Color is probably the first lesbian-centric romantic, coming-of-age movie that really earned its NC-17 rating. I mean those were some seriously graphic and lengthy sex scenes. Also looooooong movie...
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2 wasn't as cute or charming as the original. Still plenty of cuteness and food gags and charm. Just not as much. Also an actual villain rather than a more Person vs. Enviroment theme...
Earnest and Celestine is an adorabley sweet movie about a bear who wants to be a musician and not a lawyer and a mouse who wants to be an artist and not a lackey of the rodent dental industry. And how they become best friends forever and ever...
Finally we've got the Lego Movie. Which was not quite as Totally, Perfectlly Awesome as it was hyped. But it comes dang close...
