How about a movie thread?
My wife and I are trying to take in a few more movies lately. Really enjoyed Lincoln. It's the type of movie that make you want to jump into the books on on to Google to delve deeper into the subject matter.
We saw Hitchcock last weekend, and found it very entertaining. The movie about him followed his practice of entering the screen as a narrator. It provided an interesting effect. And Scarlett Johansson as Janet Leigh - uh - charming. ;) It was interesting that Both Lincoln and Hitchcock involved just a small, albeit important, slice of the life of both figures. And the wife of each played an extremely important role in the story being told. This weekend, it's Hyde Park on the Hudson. Although the reviews have been mixed, I'm looking forward to seeing Bill Murray tackle FDR. Regards, D-Ray |
I'm always slightly surprised when Murray does something serious. I expect him to jump up and yell, 'I LIKE IT!" :) Hope it's good.
Anyone seen 'Winters Bone'? I started watching it to humor the wife and ended up really liking it. Pete |
We liked Lincoln as well. Next, I want to see Django Unchained. My wife wants to see Les Miz.

Hyde Park on the Hudson turned out to be a much of a chick-flick as anything else. Largely a love story, with the historical event in which FDR was involved being seen through the eyes of one of his mistresses. While Murray's performance as FDR was well done, I never was never able to suspend disbelief enough to forget that it was Bill Murray playing Roosevelt. That being said, it was entertaining, and the actors delivered fine performances.
