Silver Linings Play Book (2012)- Jennifer Lawrence, Bradly Cooper, Robert Dinero, Chris Tucker, and ensemble cast were outstanding. Great romance story.

Killer Joe - probably the worst movie I've seen in the last couple of years. What a waste of time! Not having too much luck lately with movies, American Hustle was a huge disappointment. Grand Hotel Budapest ok...
....on the other hand, I got interested in Weird Fiction lately and saw Hellraiser yesterday for the very first time. Can't say I got bored....

Watched 2001: A Space Odyssey. Feel neutral about this film. I sort of get what Kubrick was trying to say with this movie, but I felt it was too slow despite the fact that I tend to enjoy slower movies.
I agree. It was too slow for me, and, I, too, enjoy the slower paced films. But I didn't really care much for this one.
OMG. Just saw this silly portrayal of danger in space. Never seen such bad judgment combined with the most eye popping good luck. She even managed to crash into the worlds shallowest lake. She should head immediately to Vegas!
Been on a Wes Anderson kick lately. Rewatched The Royal Tenenbaums, Rushmore, and The Life Aquatic within the past week. Also got to watch Moonrise Kingdom for the first time (awesome).
Cool! I can't wait for his latest effort--- the Grand Budapest Hotel to hit our theaters in downtown SLC in fact.
I was finally able to watch this. Awesome movie; pretty much lived up to all the acclaim it received in my opinion.
Thumbs up! This is what all "relationship" movies should aspire to, maybe not this subject matter, but the relationships.
We just watched The Incredibles with our grand daughter. Over the past few weeks I've had to travel for work and have watched The Matrix trilogy and The Transporter trilogy.
Just saw Miyazaki's last movie The Wind Rises this past weekend. Very moving and astonishingly beautiful.
Watched No Country For Old Men last night, don't know why I haven't seen this earlier. Amazing film, highly recommend
"The Best Years of our Lives" (1946, 7 Oscars) just showed up in my snailmail, after some 20%-off coupon from B&N had finally burnt a hole in my email inbox. I'm looking forward to watching it. The problems faced by returning war veterans and their families can hardly be considered passé these days, all around the world unfortunately.
The Grand Budapest Hotel has received excellent reviews and has an extremely good cast; I will most certainly keep an eye out for it, and look forward to seeing it when I have an opportunity to do so.
That is film I haven't seen, but must say that it sounds interesting. Will keep an eye out for it.

Despite the Oscars, this is a truly remarkable film. William Wyler, and a terrific cast, bring incredible depth and power to the characters.
Without giving a spoiler...watch for the scene in the bedroom between Myrna Loy and Fredrick March...the subtlety of their discomfort, especially Loy's action, is one of the great scenes in cinema.
I believe that you will find that compared to more recent (post 1980s) films, this was a time when the power of the film came from acting, directing, and cinematography...and they somehow were able to get by without CGI, or even color photography.
In case it's not clear, my bias is strongly toward the films of the 30s, 40s, and early to mid 50s...with a overwhelming bias toward black and white films. With a few notable exceptions, I don't think color has substantially improved cinematography in any way.
I, too, strongly recommend "No Country For Old Men", especially for the performances of Tommy Lee Jones, Javier Bardum and Josh Brolin. And, en passant, if you haven't seen "There Will Be Blood", I cannot recommend it strongly enough. Daniel Day-Lewis' performance is truly frightening in it's power.

The film "There Will Be Blood" will wring you out emotionally. For me...a truly astounding film!
Among my top 10 or 15 films.
Thanks for seconding the recommendation for 'No Country For Old Men.' Will most certainly place it in my to keep an eye out for list.
Re 'The Best years Of Our Lives', I remember reading about it years ago in one of the many books one of my brothers had about the history of cinema, which was his passion. Some time later, I actually managed to see it.
An excellent, beautifully told, sharply observed, wonderfully acted movie. A genuine classic.
