It was a fun story and we really liked it."I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"

Watched Dallas Buyers Club. It wasn't terrible, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you are really into inspirational "based on a true story" films that have nothing to do with reality and ends with the main character getting an unexpected standing ovation as he walks into a crowded room. If you like those types of movies, than Dallas Buyers Club is a well acted (except for Jennifer Garner) version of that.

I think we will go see "American Hustle" tomorrow and support our fellow Mormon Amy Adams. All the reviews look very positive.
I guess we won't be seeing it, it's only coming out in limited release and Idaho Falls is not on that list.Last edited by RC Vikings; 12-13-2013, 11:13 AM.

Seen a number of films lately:
Frozen: great film and a breath of fresh air after so many poorly done animated films. I generally tire of these things after 30 minutes but I thoroughly enjoyed this one to the end. The song the older sister sang when she builds her ice castle was fabulous....but I'm a feminist so that might be why I liked it.
No Strings Attached: Lame movie, boring plot and poorly executed production, but Natalie Portman is hot...which is why I watched it.
Django Unchained: I saw this one once before but I was tired and slept through some of it. Glad I watched it again. This was my first Tarantino movie and I loved the dialogue and especially the way the lines were delivered. Great story and very well done except it seemed about 20 minutes too long. I also thought the splattering blood was a bit over the top. I mean, do fountains of blood really squirt out of people when they are shot in the head?
Pulp Fiction: After Django I figured I'd watch another Tarantino. I fell asleep twice in this one. I may need to watch it again when I'm not so tired, but I doubt I will.
Man of Steel: I got bored after the first 30 minutes and went to bed. MJ finished watching it but said it sucked. I guess there's also a scene in it where Superman has his shirt off, which seemed to be the highlight.
Premium Rush: Might be the movie I've seen with the most plot holes, which is saying something since I've seen Return to Oz. The action footage was fun but overall the movie sucked. JGL is cool though so I made it through the whole movie without turning it off or falling asleep.
The Amazing Spiderman: Got bored after 20 minutes so I went and played Candy Crush in my room before falling asleep 10 minutes later. MJ finished watching it and said it sucked. I think I'm done with superhero movies for a while as they can't hold my attention anymore."Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

Down and Derby - a cutesy story of ultra-competitive dads building pinewood derby cars while excluding their scout sons from the process. Pretty boring and predictable.
Frozen - Enjoyed it. I especially liked the "Fixer-upper" number.
Girl with the Pearl Earring - I'd seen it before, but it was on TV again. It was pretty slow, and I'm not sure now about my prior assumption of Scarlet getting busy with the artist."I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"

The dialogue is always the best part in his movies. Some great stuff in Pulp Fiction also. I re-watched it recently.
Also, the highly-stylized violence is part of his trademark. It is meant to be cartoon-like."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

I really need to watch Pulp Fiction again. I remember Travolta getting shot and then the next thing I know (after a slight doze) he's walking around again with SLJ and I was trying to figure out what happened only to realize the story isn't told in chronological order"Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

Originally posted by Moliere View PostI constantly fall asleep in movies, it's kind of my curse in life. If the movie starts to drag at all then I'll doze off. It obviously doesn't say anything about the quality of the movie (obviously Pulp Fiction is tried and true with the critics and fans), but it's simply a factor of me watching the movies after the kids are in bed and me waking up at 5am to run. I also slept through (in the theater) parts of King Kong, the Hobbit, Bourne Legacy, and Dark Knight Rises.....all of which have some real slow parts.
