Did you watch it again (like last night or this morning?) because you posted on Feb. 18th you watched it on the 17th and to watch a film again in 4 or 5 days means you really... really like that film! Movies I really like I might watch once a year, but never twice in one week. Actually, I watched it 3 times in the past 2 weeks! Another guilty pleasure is Bourne Ultimatum. It's the one where Matt Damon, Julia Stiles, and the asset/assassin named Desh are chasing each other through the streets and markets of Morocco. Like Casino Royale, I could watch this film over and over again. There's probably something subliminal at work in these two films which draw me to them. Or a certain pattern which I haven't detected yet that is somehow really really pleasing. This is bizarre because I'm not an action-adventure fan. Generally, I don't like James Bond movies or movies driven by lots of stunts, gadgets, special effects, car chases, and the like. But Casino Royale and Bourne Ultimatum, I could watch them on an endless loop. Go figure. That fight scene between Bourne and Desh that ends in the shower is one of the best fight scenes ever. I love all the Bourne movies, but something about the first one..... it is pretty cool how he discovers what he is capable of as he encounters each situation, from sleeping in the park when Swiss police roust him, to US embassy scene, to fight scene in his Paris apartment......bada$$!

I recommend Rosewater. Much better than the reviews made it out to be, imo.

The Grand Budapest Hotel.
Fantastic movie. I'm a fan of Wes Anderson (not a big fan). Stylistically similar to Anderson's other movies -- The Royal Tenenbaum and The Darjeeling Limited. Really hilarious animation and special effects, done in a way so that they don't reflect the real world.

The Silver Linings Playbook.
Okay movie. I don't know what was so special about Jennifer Lawrence's performance that merited her a Best Actress Oscar. Politics. And campaigning. Who knows.
Also, I hate movies that end in some sort of competition -- sports, ballroom dancing, etc. That tells me the writers got lazy.

Previews looked really good for Part 2, or the sequel, whatever it is.

I don't think it was his best story, but original as all get-out.

Munich.
Second viewing. Loved it more the second time. The first time, I thought it was bogged down by too much verbiage. The second time, I was intrigued by the sale and exchange of intelligence with Louis. Throughout, I kept looking for Jessica Chastain, Sam Worthington, and Helen Mirren. Turns out, these three were in The Debt, a different movie altogether, although similar themes -- vengeful hunt of a Nazi war criminal. (Of course, in Munich, it's about the hunt for the Arab terrorists who planned and killed the 11 Israeli athletes in the 1972 Munich Olympic Games.) So, all these years, I kept confusing Munich and The Debt.

Liked this one, too. One of Spielberg's best.

Been in bed all day with a bad back, and watched "Mamma Mia". I absolutely love the play, the movie, not so much. I had forgotten that no only is Pierce Bronson a pathetic singer, they put an extra song in at the end for him. Why?

Gone Girl.
I've wanted to watch this film for so long. My wife wanted to know why. I told her it was because it was supposedly a good movie. What I didn't tell her was that I had the hots for Rosamund Pike.
Anyway, the plot didn't make sense. As they say, it was convoluted.
