The Woman in Gold

Despite the always excellent Helen Mirren and the generally good Ryan Reynolds, the non-WW2 portions of the movie feel a bit..emotionally flat.  They definitely try and imbue the quest for reparations for stolen artwork with the Austrian government with a heavy meaning.  But I didn't fully buy into the value and strain of the long legal battle...

The movie has an easier time getting a deeper emotional pull with the WW2 flashbacks.  But then escape from the Nazis is an easier conflict to sell...

The Monuments Men

The movie mostly moves around the edges of post D-Day in the European theater. With Clooney leading a mostly over-the-hill squad trying to recover artworks stolen by the Germans. It does meander and mosey along, and despite its setting is hard to qualify as a "war" movie. But I enjoyed it, though it is unlikely to be on anyone top (or worst) list at any point...

The Maiden Heist

A cute (where the given value of cute is based on your tolerance/enjoyment of nekkid' William H. Macy) heist picture. Macy, Morgan Freeman and Christopher Walken are museum security guards. Who, when they learn about plans to sell large portions of the museum's collection to a museum in Copenhagen, plan and carry out the theft of their three favorite pieces...

A light, fun caper flick with enjoyably amusing work from the three leads. Also from Marcia Gay Harden who plays Walken's long suffering wife...

Frazetta

I swear every documentary I've watched lately needs to cut half an hour or more. Did I really need to know about Frazetta's camera collection or his regrets at not being a pro-baseball player? Still, it was nice to learn about his work doing funny animal books in the 50s. I'd love to track down some of that. Or that he did ghost art duties for Al Capp on Lil' Abner for several years...

Stupid Minions!

One of you fools could have warned me about my nemesis's new puppy! It would have been useful to know that it was some kind of New Genesis breed BEFORE I unleashed a legion of dobsters upon her! Now they've all been eaten! ALL OF THEM!



There is such a thing as coming in under budget! You're all fired. And by that I mean I'm lighting you all on fire...
