Saw Philomena and The Book Thief over the last two weeks, both sad but profound. As a Catholic, my response to Philomena was ..I guess, different from the rest. Judi Dench in Philomena was super but Geoffrey Rush in The Book Thief was just so special.
MTR, recommend both ..

I think he meant he watched the sequel nights ago.
I watched Goodfellas again and highly recommended it if you are interested in filmmaking and want to see what a real movie should look like. Notice the tracking shots Scorsese uses, in particular the scene where Ray Liotta enters the bar through the back entrance and walks through the kitchen to be given a table at the front of a stand up set. The whole scene was done in one take. It is pure genius. This film really set the bench mark for movies and is used in film school. When Frank Darabont was shooting the Shawshank Redemption, he watched Goodfellas everyday for inspiration.
Cuing up a bunch of Phillip Seymour Hoffman's movies to watch..
-Capote
-Synecdoche, NY
-Doubt
-Owning Mahowny
-The Master
I remember seeing him on film for the first time in "Scent of a Woman." He was so convincing as a bratty, rich kid and such an odd looking fellow that he stuck in my mind. Rest in peace Phillip.

"Intouchables" was a good laugh.
I did not enjoy this unfortunately, however, I loved the book, could not put it down. The movie is nothing in comparison IMO
Anyone who loves Woody Allen will enjoy this movie. I enjoyed, but ended abruptly

Watched "Drive" on the weekend.
Not suitable for the kids or those opposed to violence.

I read it years ago, was alright, so a little reluctant to see the film..
Hows Elizabeth going CJay? Much movement in the past year?
I didn't end up buying the area
Watched The Talented Mr. Ripley last night and 25th Hour last week as part of my Phillip Seymour Hoffman movie binge tribute. Enjoyed both. Did a double take at how young the stars of The Talented Mr. Ripley were in 1999 (Matt Damon, Jude Law, Gweneth Palthrow, Cate Blanchett and of course PSH).
Watched "Enemy at the Gates" tonight with No.1 son.
True WWII story about a Russian sniper who picked off loads of German soldiers at the battle of Stalingrad.
Jude Law, Rachel Weisz, Ed Harris, Bob Hoskins and Joseph Feinnes.
Pretty good movie; a bit of a similar "feel" and visual as "Saving Private Ryan".
Portrayed the horrors of war quite well.
