I really disliked Boyhood and have said so here before. Linklater skillfully wove the different footage together but for me the problem was that kid was so uncompelling and so was what happened to him. Patricia Arquettes character would have been interesting to follow but not the son. Linklater took a chance when he…

I marathoned Empire after watching the pilot when it was first on and got busy with other things. I read that Courtney Love was in the new episode but I wanted to get caught up with the other plots. This show really hooked me and I don't like hip hop at all. But Tajari Henson is just magical as Cookie. Her clothes her…

I feel I have been in love only once. It didn't work out due to financial crap. I didn't make enough money for him - he actually said he wanted a wife who would support him.I don't know if anything has been totally ruined but a lot of things make me think wistfully about him - NIN, Soul asylum social distortion,…

Yeah that's another thing I hated about how RL had to plant corny "time stamps" into each fast forward just in case we didn't notice that the people were NOTICABLY older. I mean kids change FAST - especially boys IMO.
I had moments of enjoyment when he was young and a tween but once he hit teenage years forget it. And…

My friend thought that was one of the best movies he has ever seen and hes quite the movie buff like I am. I cant wait to see it he says if it doesn't get best editing the award means nothing

Saw Boyhood and HATED it - So disappointed. It started off engrossing but after she leaves the alcoholic professor this film went nowhere. I thought it would have an opportunity to show her and her two kids making a new life for themselves - where would they go from here - would their dad help her? - kind of like a…

Saw Inherant Vice but I wasn't feeling well at all and had to leave before it ended (I saw more then an hour of it) so I cant give and opinion other then visually I really liked it - I lived in the Redondo Beach area as a little girl in the 70s and it really brought me back to that time - the clothing, colors, cars…

Watched Dawn of the Planet of the Apes - what more can be said about Andy Serkis and his brilliance? I mean the man should get the Oscar for best actor - no other role comes close. Because he convinced me he WAS a chimp. Also watched As Above So Below - I love found footage horror when done well and this was. The…

Saw Darjeeling for the first time this weekend - I thought it started slow but I ended up enjoying it. The colors were just yummy - I sure love his asthetics. I felt that Grand Budapest was the shining example of a 'Wes Anderson Universe"I also watched Life Aquatic for the third time - I got both from the library! (I…

I finished reading the book of Wild after seeing the movie last weekend. I thought it was wonderful…I really enjoyed experiencing Cheryls journey again. Also watched Maleficent at a friends house (id seen it when it was out) and watched almost all of Black Mirror - I plan to watch the Christmas special tonight. Im…

I also enjoyed many things about it as well it was the one entry on this list that I felt shouldn't be here - Teenage mutant ninja turtles is something I immediately thought of that could have taken its place - If I really considered I am sure I would easily think of more. Kate Winslet was very effective - she…

I lived with for many years someone with an anger problem and Ive heard about this film - but wondered if it would bug me too much. its on Netflix so Ill check it out - Adam Sandler was another reason I avoided it as I truly loathe him. Thanks for the in depth review

Saw Big Hero 6 - of course the animation was amazing but I felt the plot was right out of an old Saturday morning TV show - "nerdy" but brilliant kids want to be superheros so they build their own costumes. Baymax the robot was by far the best thing about it. Also disappointed with Wish I was Here - I actually fell…

I found a box of books I'd been looking for of Leisure Horror Book club selections from mid 2000s and am planning to read them all. I read Urban Gothic by Brian Keene, Pressure by Jeff Strand (first runner up for the Bram Stoker award and I sure dont know why) and now Im reading Siren by John Everson and Loving it…

Yes thank You! I saw a trailer for this in - August - I think - and MAN I haven't laughed so hard since Borat I swear. CANT WAIT FOR THIS. Also a friend informed me that Jemaine was the voice of Nigel the cockatoo in the Rio films which amazed and delighted me.

Also LOVED Little Nemo return to Slumberland comic - Gabriel Rodriguez from Locke and Key is the artist - I could stare at every page for hours. Its that good. Its actually on issue two now. Also The fade out from Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips is great. On advice from this website I purchased "Tooth and Claw" but…

I marathon watched both seasons of Bates Motel- loved it. Now I'm hooked and cant wait for it to resume in March. Freddie Highmore left me speechless with how nuanced he was - I've rarely seen mental illness portrayed so well - I just felt for the bond between him and his mother. I have had trouble finding a show I…
