So I've been remiss in posting, but I have still been watching movies. Lots of movies. Loads of movies! So, instead of giving a long review for each one, which would take me forever and I would never catch up, I've decided to just list them and give them a grade between D minus and A plus. I will only put comments for those that have something special about them, either good or bad. So here goes...
Kinky Boots (2006) A
Hysteria (2012) A+ . A hilarious movie about feminism and how repressed Victorians were. Not for those with delicate sensibilities.
Amazing Grace (2007) A+
Meet Dave (2008) C+
Minions (2015) A . The only reason this didn't get an A plus is that it didn't last long enough...
Zookeeper (2011) B
Chaplin (1992) A. Boy does Robert Downey Jr. look young in this!
Captain America: The Winter Soldier( 2014) A
Boyhood (2014) A+. Beautiful movie, fascinating to watch the main characters literally grow up in front of us. For some strange reason, I keep thinking about Seinfeld though, and his 'show about nothing'. This was and wasn't like that, a movie where nothing too dramatic happens, an ordinary life. But seeing it, you realize it is also an extraordinary one.
Thor: The Dark World (2013) B+
Pride (2014) A+. Based on a true story of the Miners strike during the Thatcher era, and the Gays for Miners support group that arose. A very moving story.
From Up on Poppy Hill (2012) A+. Miyazaki does it again!
Young Triffie (2006) B+. Based on a play, featuring a familiar face from Corner Gas.
Transformers (2007) B
Maleficent (2014) B. Disappointed in the lack of substance of this movie.
Pan's Labyrinth (2007) A-. Only reason for the minus is the depressing aura of the film.
Watchmen (Director's Cut) (2009) A-. Again, depressing, but magnificently done.
Into the White (2013) A. Based on a true story from WWII.
Hancock (2008) B+
Home (2015) A+ .Be warned, there are some tearjerker moments in this one, for real!
Edge of Tomorrow (2014)A+. You know it's a good movie if I endorse a Tom Cruise film!
Star Trek: Into Darkness (2013) A
22 Jump Street (2014) B+
