Movie Time

We’ve been watching a lot of movies.. I mean A LOT. Oscar season is always good for supplying an abundance of pretty stellar films. Plus, outside it is a never ending winter wonderland making it perfect weather for snuggling inside and watching a film. And, when cabin fever has hit and what we want isn't accessible from home we head to the local theater. 

Recently viewed: (I feel like I may be missing a few) 

• Frozen - 4 stars!  Awe, just the cutest movie and a great story about sisters! Me being the youngest of 5 girls the story resonated with me.

• Wolf of Wall Street – 5 stars! Scorsese knocked it out of the park with this gem!

• American Hustle – 3 stars! It was just “MEH” to me. The actors were all fantastic, but the directing just didn't ever lure me into the story.

•  Anchor Man 2 – 1 star! I never once laughed! And, I own Anchor Man 1. Epic let down

• Out of the Furnace - 4 stars! I haven’t really enjoyed Scott Cooper’s other movies, but LOVED this one. It is very graphic and not for the faint of heart, but a darn good movie.

• Dallas Buyers Club – 3 stars!  Like American Hustle all was good, but I was never “hooked.”

• Her – 0 stars!! To my surprise - I just hated this movie.

• Lee Daniels The Butler – 5 stars! Was so so good, but a tear jerk-er!

• Enough Said – 4 stars! Being James Gandolfini’s  last film I had to see. It was a feel good movie, but it wasn't AMAZING. 

• 12 Years A Slave - 5 stars! It was HARD to watch. And, most of it I watched with hands over my face. My heart completely aches for such an era. It is a beautiful true story so I do suggest checking it out.

• Bad Grandpa - 5 stars! I could not stop laughing. I will say I wasn't impressed with the Little Miss Sunshine rip off scene, but other wise SO FUNNY. 

• Captain Philips - 3 stars! This was a good one, but it didn't fully keep my attention.

• Lone Survivor  - 3 stars! I didn't like this movie due to the violence. I did think the acting was great and seem to capture the true story in all of its realness. 

And, still so many more to see! For example, 

• August Osage County
• Blue is the Warmest Color
• Nebraska
• Philomena
• Saving Mr. Banks
