Hadn't been to a movie theatre for a long time but attended two screenings this week. The first film I viewed was Brooklyn and what a beautifully crafted and entertaining film it was and I would recommend it to one and all . It was an independent Irish, U.K. and Canadian co-production Little can be said about the second film I viewed though. The film was called Gods Of Egypt. The C G I work at times was laughable and this along with an inferior script to start off with was only a so-so experience. The highs and lows of the art of cinema viewed closely together making one appreciate a beautifully crafted low budget film made with a discerning audience in mind over a big budget film aimed for the youth audiences of today solely in mind.
I just emerged from a private screening with 2-300 other families of Zootopia! It was a pretty good animated movie! The usual adult humor kept me interested. Kids liked it-certainly a thumbs up!
Well I finished Spotlight... Made me want to go take my daughter out of catholic school... But I think that is the point. Luckily Houston wasn't on the list at the end of the film.
i was a Catholic school student, i won't return to a Catholic church because of the rampant abuse that happened and the continued attempt to deflect the blame for the cover-ups. One of my teachers got nabbed for child porn but the biggest problems were the paedophile priests at a town less than half an hour away.

Used to go there all the time before they WRECKED it!
Going to try to sneak in a viewing of The Hateful 8 on the weekend at the Astor....hopefully they don't wreck that cinema too!
Strangerland...was on the telly over the weekend.
Reconfirms for me that I can't stand her in most movies she is in and that Hugo Weaving is a great actor! Could watch him in anything!
Didn't find myself getting too attached to any of the characters in the film, but just wanting to know if she was found...

The Getting of Wisdom is on the telly...Gee, forgot all about this one...good little film.
The Warriors -FINALLY...yes yes I know.
Really enjoyed it. Considering not much happens, lived up to the hype for me, which these days is very rare!
