For Father's Day, I was treated to a family-friendly chick flick.

 :whatever:

We Bought a Zoo, with Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansen. He's a writer whose wife dies, and he buys a run-down animal park. She is the zookeeper. The menagerie includes a bipolar grizzly bear, an old tiger, and a drunken Scotsman.

It was the chickiest. Bleh.

I made up for it by going to the range, smoking a cigar, and watching Blazing Saddles this evening.

Derp . . . Matt Damon!

Watched "Oz, the Great and Powerful". It was fun, and definitely made to be seen in 3D. It was interesting they (Disney) treated it as a prequel.
Me too ! I watched it on the flight back from Hawaii. Also recently have seen large portions of "Hoax" with Richard Gere. I want to see the whole thing. It looks more than good enough to sit through.

I went to see the new Superman movie, Man of Steel, last night.  I liked it.  If I wanted to find something to complain about in it, it would be that they could have found someone better to play Lois Lane.  But other than that, very good.

Broken City. Mark Wahlberg, Russel Crowe. Pretty good, drags a little. Decent acting, moderate suspense.

Mrs E and I are completely disgusted with the offerings in our area -- Man of Steel and a whole collection of zombie crap being among that pile of dung that we're just not interested in -- so we rented "Argo" from a Red Box and watched it at home.

Excellent film. While the story is true, I wonder about some of the built-in drama at the end. Probably more of Hollyweird's creative "license" they take with these kinds of stories.

"Argo" beat out "Lincoln" for best film. And "Lincoln" was the film to beat this year.

Man of Steel. Great movie and Michael Shannon made a great General Zod.

Saw Monsters U and Man of Steel at the drive-in last night.

Monsters U. A fun kids' movie, which children of any age can enjoy. Red's 5 year old grandson had a great time, and told me that he and I must now watch Monsters, Inc. together. Fortunately, he has it on DVD.

Man of Steel. What I liked: Lots of action; Lois Lane has a nice ass; The Krypton part  was well-done, for the most part; Christopher Meloni's character (Col. Hardy) and performance; Antje Traue's character (Zod's subcommander) and performance; Lois Lane has a nice ass.  What I didn't like: A whole bunch of stuff that would be spoilers if I posted them; Departing from Superman canon in the most egregious way, and a huge related logical contradiction at the climax of the story; Poor character development; Kevin Costner as Jonathan Kent- phoned in performance; Lawrence Fishburne, Jr. as Perry White- phoned in performance; Non-linear storytelling- it only works for Quentin Tarantino, and much of the time it doesn't work for him; Elements of the story which were derivative from non-Superman stories, where being derivative didn't make sense (example: Jor-El's death- this is not a spoiler, since we all know Jor-El dies in the Superman origin story).

PM me for more, so I don't spoil it for anyone.

There was no big-name producer for the fake film (as portrayed by Arkin)...

They never went to the market as "location scouts"...

The airline tickets were bought ahead of time and were in their hands as they entered the terminal...

The passport check was pretty cursory...

...and nobody jumped into cars and chased the plane down the runway.

Ticks me off.  If you're going to retell history, tell it true.

Friday night watched a forgotten gem starring Sean Connery and directed by Sidney Lumet: The Offense from 1973.

This movie was awesome but it also deals with very difficult subject matter. I would say this is the closest thing to a graphic novel I have ever seen on the screen and it is the best performance by Sean Connery I have ever seen.  This is not action hero Connery.

The movie details the hunt for a child rapist and an interview with a prime suspect that goes horribly awry and the story is told out of sequence and can be very confusing at times but it was really just well done.

I read because of the dark subject the movie bombed in 1973 and it may also explain why Connery never (so far as I know) took as meaty a roll again in his career.

I would say if you are a movie buff, a Connery fan, and can handle deeply disturbing subject matter, put this film near the top of your list.

We watched The Hobbit over the weekend.  I haven't read the book since I was 12 or 13 so there was a lot I didn't remember -- looking forward to the next installment.  :)

Actually, I do not believe Connery took his shirt off in this movie. Not typical Connery at all. No killing assassins by the reflection in a Bond-girl's iris either.

I finally watched the Avengers this weekend.  It was a fun movie.

I also caught the endings of Ip Man, Savages, and Die Hard.  I've seen Die Hard before, so it was fun to watch a bit of it again.  Both Ip Man and Savages looked pretty good, I might have to sit down and watch the full movies some time.

I went to White House Down last night.  It's not too bad as far as action goes but the over-the-top leftist bias of the movie might be too much to take for most Conservative Cave people.

I won't give too much away in case some of you go to see it, but the president is a democrat who's trying to put together a middle east peace deal.  The republican speaker of the house is a caricature/composite of DU's idea of a republican house speaker.  The "right wing" terrorists are right out of Hollywood central casting, including white supremacists.

If you want to see a movie about terrorists taking over the White House, I would recommend the far superior movie from a few months back called Olympus Has Fallen.

I haven't watched it yet, but I just noticed that Atlas Shrugged Part II is now available for instant screening on Netflix.  I just put it in my instant queue.  Part one is on Netflix too, just in case you haven't seen it.

Saw "The Heat" last night with Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy.

Very entertaining film, with tons and tons and tons of f-bombs.
