Drama is the basis of every story ever told. Saying you don't like drama is like saying you don't like movies.
Watched The Evil Dead for the first time last night. Outstanding independent film.
I'm not sure whether its more inspiring or depressing that a low budget movie from the early eighties was scarier than most horror today.
8/10

I watched the documentary The Forgotten Bomb. It had some value in reporting measurements of radioactivity. But it was most stupid in grasping the beginning and continuity of the Atomic Age.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, I watched it with my friends and enjoyed. 8/10
We Need To Talk About Kevin - 8/10
A movie I've known about for a long time but never wanted to see because how dark it is. Well, I saw it and it's dark as expected but it's also very well done. An excellent psychological thriller.

I watched the documentary on Herbert Hoover, Landslide. Very accurate overall. FDR took the progressive ideas of Hoover in the 1920's and acted upon them. Hoover, who was expecting the people to freely put a stop to recession, got annoyed by FDR claims to his package and never talked to FDR again. As the great depression took place, FDR won by landslide with Hoover's ideas and bills of the 20's.
Escellent, very historical piece.
When FDR died, Hoover was eventually recognized for who he was by Truman, but it had been too late to appease the bitterness he felt against FDR's so-called New Deal even when it was his own.
It was 2 for 1 day at the library.

Score: 2/10
However, the bad guy did shoot straight except at the end.
At the end, the good guy rammed into the bad guy's car and then the good guy chased the bad guy. Then came the final hand-to-hand fighting and the good guy gets kicked around a bit and then he kicks the bad guy around until it's all over for the bad guy. I hope I didn't spoil it for anyone.
Dinner for Schmucks
Score 7/10

I watched The Impossible last night it was good. Naomi Watts acted well and so did Ewan McGregor. 8/10
The Sessions: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1866249/
Score: 3/10
The article Mark O'Brien wrote, "On Seeing a Sex Surrogate", is better than the movie: http://thesunmagazine.org/issues/174...rrogate?page=1
The movie tried to shift attention to potential jealousy in the boyfriend of one caretaker and then the husband of the sex surrogate to make the story interesting. That only made it sentimental in my view. I can't imagine that such jealousy actually occurred which made me look for O'Brien's original article. The original article was more realistic and interesting.
Searching for Sugar Man
Score: 10/10
This is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen.

I watched Bol again, it’s a desi movie. 9/10

Side Effects 9/10 It was really good! Scary, and somewhat plausible. Jude Law was really good in it, as was Rooney Mara.
I saw Sessions a few weeks ago. A good, small movie. I'd give it a 8/10. I didn't care for the trumped up drama, either, YesNo. I also looked up the article after seeing the movies, but just because I was intrigued at that point. It was quite interesting.

Not bad. Not bad at all. Kind of a sleeper. I streamed it on Netflix. Didn't know anything about it. It was just a shot in the dark and I was pleasantly surprised. In the opening scene I said to myself, "New Orleans". It just had that feel about it. Turns out it was Baton Rouge - I was close.
Uhhhh...
The first two Godfather films, again.
But in a theater, Amour, which I LOVED, and which everyone else HATED.
