We rented "Out of the Furnace" the other week. It's a gritty drama about two brothers, starring Christian Bale.

I thought it was pretty good, the Mrs. gave it a "meh".

What movie did you see recently, and did you like it?

I thoroughly enjoyed Jack Reacher, but it's probably all but out of the RedBoxes by now. Just the other night, I rented 'The Art of the Steal', with Kurt Russell and Matt Dillon. First time I've seen Kurt in a film in a long time, and I thought it was great. Low violence, little cursing, and no nudity were a BONUS.
 
Disneys 'Frozen' with my daughters......no I personally did not like the movie, and they have been singing songs from the movie for a couple weeks now. So i'm really not liking it now.
 
Last one I saw at the movie theater was Oblivion. Really enjoyed it. A lot of the grand scenic stuff was done using back projection with modern equipment rather than green screen. It works.

The last one that I saw on cable that I enjoyed was Star Trek: Into Darkness. Benedict Cumberbatch played a brilliant baddie.

Saw Pacific Rim the other week. Transformers meets Battleship = Meh. Good enough romp if you have nothing better to do, I suppose.
 
Since my wife and I take turns picking on Netflix the last pick was hers, "Young Victoria" about young queen Victoria and her marriage to Prince Albert. I liked it. My last pick was "American Hustle" and I loved it. Watched it twice.
 
The last time I went to see a movie, they were still a quarter and I can't remember what it was.:D
 
We don't go to the movies very often...my wife is disabled, and she can't sit in the movie seats for very long. My middle son and I usually go to movies when he comes out to visit, so I usually just wait until he's here to see something. The last three movies I saw with him were "Skyfall", "Jack Reacher", and "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" (we are big LOTR fans.)

I was prepared to detest "Jack Reacher" since I have read all of Lee Child's books, and Tom Cruise is about as far from Jack Reacher as one can get...in fact, I wasn't going to go, but my son said he'd pay so at most I'd only be out a couple of hours. I actually enjoyed the movie very much. They didn't even address the size issue, or try to make Cruise look larger than he is...and it was a very believable rendering of the book.
 
Just watched "The Illusionist" with Edward Norton,Paul Giamatti and Jessica Biel. Anything with Norton or Giamatti gets a thumbs-up from me! And Miss Biel is real easy on the eyes. ;)

f.t.
 
I'll start off by pointing out that Wes Anderson movies are not everyone's cup of tea. I, however, like his work, enough so that I had to see "Grand Budapest Hotel" on the big screen. I loved it, and can't wait to see it again. Ralph Feinnes usually plays serious roles, but he's very good at comedy. The rest of the cast was excellent also.

I hadn't been to the movies for a while. I went by myself, (the Missus doesn't appreciate Mr. Anderson's work), and I had a small popcorn, a small Coke, M&M's, and it was 23 bucks! I can see why I don't go that often!
