Cloud Atlas just got rated the worst movie of the year by Time magazine, and that was a list that included 'What To Expect When You're Expecting."

Yikes.

Time Magazine is so incredibly full of shit - and I've stopped considering them a proper conduit for modern day news and journalism log ago. If you want a spoon fed plot with lots of explosions and tits - like most of the American viewing audience - then Cloud Atlas won't fill your cup. It's a very cerebral movie - with tons of details and layers that weave amongst multiple plot lines that surround themes of humanity, balance and effect. Easily in my top 10 for sure - but, as always, YMMV. It will become a cult classic - - -

One I have mixed feeling about: Hugo.

Wonderful acting and effects. However, it's too childlike (childish?) for adults, too adult in outlook for children.

Hugo looked terrible from the previews. I saw some of it when it came out - looked like it was unwatchable. Reminded me of that Pinnochio movie that was a flop - why does anyone think people want movies like that?

Last Friday, I saw Place Beyond The Pines with Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper. I loved it. Good moral twist in there.

Maybe I should wait a week for this, but I'm not gonna. We have Dead End Kids: Little Tough Guy; Take Shelter (because I LOVED Michael Shannon in The Missing Person); and The Business of Strangers (Stockard Channing) to watch this weekend.

I just saw Fast And Furious 6 with a friend. I loved it. First one in the series I have seen. I know it was overdone, but who cares.

Saw The Conjuring yesterday. Good, but nowhere near as scary as the reviews suggest.

We also have 11 weeks of http://www.chillerdrive-in.com/index.html to catch up on.

We had a ton of those dvrd too. I deleted all but 3 to make room for other stuff. I checked a couple of weeks ago and it's now not on RTV in our area. replaced with Offbeat Cinema, which is ok but not nearly as much fun as Wolfman Mac.
