Some library DVDs over the weekend:

The Master - I felt about this almost exactly the same way I felt about Anderson's last film, There Will Be Blood: Not quite the "Ultimate Story of America!" masterpiece that it was overpraised as, but a pretty interesting and powerful film with some really fine performances.

Friends With Kids - A somewhat smarter-than-average rom-com made more pleasant by its great cast (Adam Scott, Kristin Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Chris O'Dowd, Jon Hamm, Jennifer Westfeldt).

I felt The Master was an amazing character study. I really liked it.
I liked parts of Friends with Kids, but the ending was a bit lame. The cast was really, really good.

I hate to admit it, I was really tired tonight, so I watched, Shaun of the Dead. I did like the ending though!

Netflix streaming has a slew of Korean movies in their coffers and I stumbled across a gem this past weekend.
http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Sunny/70245273?trkid=8133737

It's called Sunny and its about a group of 7 school age girls who formed a sort of sisterhood in grade school in the 80s. Now in their mid 40s, one of the women happens to meet up with their old 'leader' who is dying of cancer. The other woman makes a promise to her terminal friend that she will locate the rest of their group before her friend dies. A lot of the film is done in flashbacks showing how the group met and how they interacted with each other.

There are some cultural differences but its a really sweet movie. And some parts are just laugh out loud funny. And the chronically foul mouthed grandmother left me in tears.

The "Game of Shadows" 2nd Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes movie.

Had a ball watching it. Nice that the end of Moriarty is at least in the same vein as his demise in Conan Doyle's story. However, the chase through the woods seemed to be a little bit much. And Mycroft! Get yer clothes on!!!

I have to admit, the urban camouflage was pretty awesome

I watched Life of Pi after finishing the book. As I expected the book had more depth than what was portrayed on screen. Overall a decent enough flick.
I felt the same about the movie. It was good - but for me, too much razzle-dazzle. It detracted for me 'cause the story was good enough. His movies (AL) aren't my favorites...

Last movie I saw was Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange. Classic!

Also saw Hitchcock'so Rebecca for the first time, it was very good.

Last movie that I've seen in theaters was The Place Beyond the Pines. I thought it was a great movie, probably the best that I've seen from 2013.
