    That's why I'm glad Kasdan is sitting there with Abrams. He can pull off a two hour movie.

    One of the March Criterion Blu-Ray releases...




    By the mid-sixties, Ingmar Bergman had already conjured many of the cinema’s most unforgettable images. But with the radical Persona, this supreme artist attained new levels of visual poetry. In the first of a series of legendary performances for Bergman, Liv Ullmann plays an actress who has inexplicably gone mute; an equally mesmerizing Bibi Andersson is the garrulous young nurse caring for her in a remote island cottage. While isolated together there, the women perform a mysterious spiritual and emotional transference that would prove to be one of cinema’s most influential ideas. Acted with astonishing nuance and shot in stark shadows and soft light by the great Sven Nykvist, Persona is a penetrating, dreamlike work of profound psychological depth.

    Was very dissapointment by The Hobbit. Too much left out, too much put in.

    First installment was much better, though not that great.

    Watched The Hobbit and American Hustle yesterday. Both were good. A few scenes in The Hobbit were worth the price of admission alone.

    I am currently staying in a fisherman's cottage in Croatia for 36 days (don't ask), so I've had some time on my hands. Thank god for torrents.

    I've watched:
    Don Jon (Hilarious and relatable ... A-)
    Wolf of Wall Street (Soundtrack sucked for a Scorsese movie .... A)
    American Hustle (Phenomenal ... A+)
    Lone Survivor (I read a review that described it as 'war porn' ... not quite, but definitely more 'propagandic' ... B+)
    Rush (Excellent flick, action scenes a little redundant but top notch acting / directing ... A+)
    Blue is the Warmest Color (Lesbian sex scenes were very explicit, but plot development first rate ... A)

    I have Captain Phillips, 12 Years a Slave, Blue Jasmine, The Butler, and Out of the Furnace to watch ... but as you might imagine, a little movie'd out.

    Wife and I saw a few of the Hollywoodland blockbusters out there over the holidays.

    I'm a big Will Ferrell fan (probably one of his oldest fans at age 60). I'm a little split on Anchorman 2. Some great jokes and bits, but the movie doesn't hold together as well as the first one. Still some classic Ferrell/Koechner/Rudd/Carrell moments. Had a bit of a feeling of an SNL episode hosted by Ferrell.

    American Hustle was very good. They had the 1970s fashion look down to a tee, which I found troubling because I was in my 20s during that era of fashion tragedies and have been trying to forget those looks ever since. Great ensemble cast.

    I was pleasantly surprised by The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Read some middling reviews and was wondering if this was one of those projects that the director (Stiller) loved so much that it would be loved to death.

    Wife wanted to see Saving Mr. Banks and it was pretty good. Read an interesting interview with Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson in The New York Times that was very interesting. Really a dressed up story, but if you are familiar with the Sherman Brothers (the guys who did a bunch of songwriting for Disney), it's a great study in creative tension.

    Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom was a pretty good, unvarnished history lesson. Idris Elba is on the cusp of the big time and this will push him up a little higher.

    I thought Hobbit II was alright. Tolkien's Catholicism just comes pounding through incessantly. Greed isn't good. I get it. Let's move on.

    Philomena was very low key, but Judi Dench and Steve Coogan played off each other really well, making what could have been a bland tale entertaining.

    I liked Hobbit #2 (didn't love it though). I have likened it to Back to the Future II from back in the day, pretty good, just enough plot to keep the purists somewhat interested, lots of action but more than anything else it is a commercial for the last movie in the trilogy set to come out in about a year. The same voice does Smaug who does the Necromancer FWIW. Is it just me or had Legolas not aged all that well? Oh and his dad is a major ahole, I see now why he left to roam Middle Earth, and why Thorin wants to bust a cap in his sorry elvish arse.

    Anchorman 2 had some funny jokes. (I also have a black man following me around on sunny days.) But from the lighthouse onward it got pretty dumb.

    Wolf of Wall Street...no comment on that one. Haha

    Good to hear Don Jon was good. I've been meaning to check that one out.

    Finally watched Silver Linings Playbook, and ehhhh. It's not for me. I get why people love it but I don't think it should have been in the Oscar hunt like it was.

    Though of course it could be hurt because I don't like Bradley Cooper. Also I don't get why people were all in love with Jennifer Lawrence as far as her appearance goes. I'm guess it's just the first time people realized she has chesticles. I'd bang her, but I don't get why people are bonkers over her. B-Rule explain!
