True Grit - As I expected, it totally lived up to the hype.

Saw "The Fighter" last week and enjoyed it a lot. 8/10?
I will be surprised if Christian Bale doesn't pick up the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his performance. He embodies the "tweaker" role so perfectly that you're sort of squirming and twitching in your seat just watching him.
Maybe going to see "True Grit" tonight and if not, tomorrow night.

Red was very entertaining. I never read the comic despite, you know, Warren Ellis, so I'm curious to see how they differ now.

Re: Seen Any Good Movies...?
We finally watched My Winnipeg, which has been in our queue for a really long time, but for some reason I was thinking it was 3+ hours, so I kept putting it off. It is not. It's like an hour and fifteen minutes. I don't know why I thought that.
Anyway, it is really good. It ties in a lot with Cowards Bend the Knee, too, for all of you guys who watched that one.
Sharon Dee, it is a) available streaming on Netflix, and b) story driven and linear, plus also extremely literal and educational; so you go watch that now when you're done with your pork chops, OK?

Re: Seen Any Good Movies...?
I saw Nicholas and Alexandra last night, an Oscar-bait historical epic about the last Romanovs. The pacing isn't great and it's long, but it's amazing how many British character actors I only knew from their work decades later are in it.
The reason I put it firmly in the good movie category is the casting. It's remarkable how much they all look like the historical characters they're portraying. There are no dramatic prosthetics or anything like that. With your basic hair and makeup, plus excellent performances, of course, they pull off some serious physical verisimilitude. Tom Baker (the second Doctor Who) as Rasputin was the standout, but Nicholas, Lenin, Trotsky, young Stalin, even the Grand Duchesses and Alexei were all dead on.

You thought that because it felt like 3 hours.

Although I shouldn't. That was the best nap I ever had.

Too harrowing for you, then?
I think the scene at 1:05ish here hit closest to home for me:
NO, THE LITTLE MUFFIN! NOT THE BIRD!

Sorreh, I can't keep them all straight. He was a great Rasputin, though.

Tom Baker was in Pier Paolo Pasolini's The Canterbury Tales. He did a brief nude scene with full frontal. I really did not need to see that.

Tokyo Gore Police. It is one of those films that reminds me why I love all things Japanese.

Winter's Bone - Mean old hillbillies aren't even nice to their kin whats lookin' for their dad. The story kind of sucked, then again, doesn't real life? However, the acting was great, Academy award stuff.

Re: Seen Any Good Movies...?
I finally got around to watching the Serenity DVD that Mr. Doughnuts sent me for Secret Santa. T'was a fine yarn.
The Reavers involved a series of plot holes, although it wasn't so distracting I couldn't overlook it while watching. Made for some fridge logic moments, though.

Rewatched The Last Dragon--visiting the Chopsocki Master--W H Macy and Chaz Palminteri are fantastic. . . .

Took Kiddo to Gnomeo and Juliet last night (2-d) and it was way better than I expected. I really liked the authenticity of the garden decor (chips, cracks, imperfect paint) and the sound effects, like when the gnomes walked or winked you could hear the ceramic sound.
