The thing is, I rarely like the movies that are recommended to him. Snatch, Moonrise Kingdom, Inglourious Basterds, Burn After Reading, In Bruges, and The Grand Budapest Hotel, to name a few. Oh Brother, Where Art Thou grew on me. I didn't like it the first two times I saw it.
However, today's movie is not going to grow on me. Have you heard of Birdman with Michael Keaton playing the lead? I always think of Michael Keaton as Mr. Mom, a film that was popular the year I graduated high school. That, and Beetlejuice, which was just creepy to me. I know he played Batman, but I don't enjoy comic-book hero movies, either. I like Emma Stone, who played his daughter, but I didn't like her character, or lack of character, actually. The storyline was unimpressive, and parts of it were just weird. Someone told us they laughed so hard, but I didn't think anything in it was funny. It was actually quite depressing. A washed up actor with a highly dysfunctional family and group of friends tries to write, direct, and star in a Broadway show. In my opinion, it had no redeeming qualities. It's just my opinion!
Next time, I am choosing the movie! I still haven't seen Gone Girl, Mockingjay, The Judge, or Horrible Bosses 2. I think I will enjoy those four. What type of movies do you like?
We do Black Friday Shopping...no fights here though.
ReplyDeleteWe did see Gone Girl, it was good. A really good movie we thought was Interstellar and it was a good movie. It did not feel like it was 3 hours long either. One of my favorite movies is Inglourious Basterds though. I also enjoyed Burn After Reading. Oh Brother Where Art You, I had to see several times before I started liking it. We do want to see Mocking Jay though
I went shopping on Friday! It wasn't bad at all... I think most of the crazies went out on Thanksgiving night. I will say that most of the stuff I needed wasn't even on sale, but it's more of a tradition to go shopping on Friday than anything else.
ReplyDeleteThe last movie I saw was Mockingjay and it was pretty good. My girlfriend who I went with thought it was better than the book... I wouldn't go that far, but it was definitely entertaining!
