Oh. Good.
Ortho had me worried.

Flipped. A Rob Reiner flick. Very cute. Would be good for family viewing especially with pre-teen, teenage girls.
360. One of those 'full circle' movies, where everything comes around in the end. It was OK. Needs a rewatch, as does: Lucky Number Slevin. I'm not even sure what happened in that movie. It needs a rewatch, preferably a sober one. |

Sorry! I had me worried, too. That is to say, although from the end of the last episode another season seemed inevitable, it's been a long time since they were made. I can't wait.

Are you referring to the tv series Elementary, by the way? I had just assumed so but now I figured I should double check.

No, referring to the BBC series 'Sherlock' with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. There were two seasons of three episodes each. I haven't run across 'Elementary', but that's not unusual - I'm sort of TV-illiterate.

I watched the first ep of Elementary. Seemed like it might be ok once it finds its feet. I like the guy playing Sherlock. Quite like the female Watson.
The first ep was a bit pedestrian, but showed definite promise. Lola, if you haven't seen Sherlock, give it a go. It's a really solid take on the original stories.

The Daniel Craig version of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Not as good as the Swedish one.
I also watched Titanic: Blood and Steel (Irish TV miniseries). Historical inaccuracies annoyed me no end, but the story was entertaining.

True. Gotta love the Led Zeppelin cover over the credits, though.

If you like Led Zepplin covers, which I don't.
I was generally unhappy with the opening credits. Poor imitation of a Bond film opening.

Watched Repo Men starring Forrest Whittaker and Jude Law last night. It was good. There were sections in the middle where the casual violence was unsettlingly gratuitous. I won't rewatch it. Two stars.

Total Recall remake - 7
Ted - 8.75 The Watch - 7 ("I will shove an entire egg inside your ass, and I'll watch it hatch." paraphrasing) Area 407 - 0.2 Absolutely, beyond a shadow of a doubt the worst movie I watched in 2012. Jittery picture from the 'found footage' of a teenager with a video camera, spates of nothing but incoherent yelling/screaming for minutes and minutes on end, horrendous dialogue, entirely predictable. Stink Factor of nine. In The Electric Mist - 7 Slow. Plot shortcuts. Plot elements unexplained. But...It has a very good cast, led by Tommy Lee Jones. Takes place today (modern times), but at one point TLJ (whose character is a recovering alcoholic) is sitting on a cabin porch talking to a man about not being able to tell the difference anymore between what's real and what ain't . The man is John Bell Hood, played by Levon Helm. Go figure.

Ahhhh....where can I find this? Would Hulu have it? That's where I watch most of my tv shows, hehe. I like the show 'Elementary.'

I got a book from the library entitled 1001 Movies to See Before You Die. I've been jotting down movies I'd never heard of but want to see, and movies I've heard of but haven't seen, and movies I've seen but I realize I missed something when I saw it.
First one I received was A Woman Under the Influence (1974): Quote:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072417/ I just received Badlands (1973) starring Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek. This is one I'd heard of but haven't seen. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069762/ Also got Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975) starring unknowns to me. One I hadn't heard of. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073540/ This has become a project of sorts. Old movies, new movies...there are so many and my list is getting longer and longer. I was getting sick of getting the latest hilarious blockbuster only to find out it's mostly bathroom humor. Now I'm getting into some nitty gritty psychological thrillers, wry comedies, intense dramas, and even some whimsical fun...by seeking out those movies that aren't necessarily given their due. Of course, there are also the classic ones, and even in there I find movies I (shamefully for a 'movie buff') haven't seen. It's so fun! |
