Movies We Watch

I have to watch films with George Clooney in them. He is just damn likeable as well as nice to look at. This film was witty, the pace was quick enough to not leave one thinking something should have been cut, and the chick was smart, funny, quick and pretty (enough). I didn’t even mind [...]

Being a teenager can be hard enough, but when you are suddenly thrown into a situation where everyone around you isn’t the same as you anymore, it gets even harder. This film looks at a Jewish family in the 50s during desegregation. The youngest brother goes from being in pretty much an all Jewish high [...]

This wasn’t a bad film by any means, but it was extremely slow moving and long – really really long, unnecessarily long. There were parts of this film that were quite interesting.

I wish I had recorded this film in HD. The scenery was amazing. Beautiful shots of his travel, amazing views of the garden, long flowing looks at the village he visits in Japan. The scenery was the best part of this film. It wasn’t bad, it was just slow. Really, really slow. And I guess [...]

Sometimes watching an older film (over 10 years old) where a great deal of the people in the film have become much more famous can be odd. You see them not only near the start of their movie career, but also so much younger than you are used to seeing them. The film was pretty [...]
