The Monitor

This is a hauntingly wonderful film. Noomi Rapace's performances is addicting.  You want to understand what is going on the whole time and you are unable to look away for fear you will miss something.  The script is perfect.

You need to C IT.

I watched it on Hulu.com

Cloud Atlas

I loved Cloud Atlas. I read the book and I totally respect the version of the script that was written. I felt that it honored and respected the book as much as it possibly could and the decisions served the movie very, very well.

I loved the cast, the script, the score, the filmmaking, all of it.

Definitely C IT.

Guess what? It's at RedBox!

Rust and Bone

This movie is very very good. The script is amazing. What a unique human story.  I questioned wether I liked the lead characters at times and completely loved and empathized with them sometimes too.  Marion Cotillard and Mathias Schoenearts are superb actors and bring these two characters flawlessly, flawed to life.
The film making is spectacular. Several of the best shots and sequences I've seen in a long time.

You really need to C IT!
It's at RedBox.

Jack Reacher

I wasn't sure I was going to like Jack Reacher but I had to see it because I have a few friends who were a part of the project.
I am very proud of their work. They did great.
My favorite thing about Jack Reacher is the supporting cast.
The script is decent but I wasn't completely sold on why Jack Reacher was such a badass.
Oh, and did I mention that Werner Herzog is in it? He is.

Maybe I"ll be convinced of JR's badassity by the sequel.

Worth Cing It!
At RedBox.

MAMMA

I actually really enjoyed this movie. The two little girls, Megan Charpentier and Isabelle Nelisse' are great actresses and who doesn't love Jessica Chastain and hottie Nicolaj Coster-Waldau (Game of Thrones)?
The script is solid. I'm not sure I really cared for a lot of the supporting characters but the leads and the story keep you in it.

You should C IT!
