'33' - A human interest, uplifting story that does not keep you on the edge of your seat. Nice to see the whole story most Americans hardly paid attention to. This is for the foreign Spanish speaking market. Ho Hum despite Banderas and Binoche trying to steal scenes. If you even bother wait for cable.
'The Night Before' - Rogen gives me gas. Thanks, Canada, for giving us both your funniest and foulest. This Millennial Pack holiday comedy has a few laughs (very few) but Jillian Bell (Rogen's wife) and Michael Shannon standout in their perverse roles. Gordon-Levitt has leaned on his buddies for years to provide him with a "family feeling" at Christmas. Now it is time for things to grow up and the final get together is to be killer. My question is: who writes these things? Best seen high or dead drunk.
'Love The Coopers' - CBS Films....okay, I'll just watch this on the TV next year and save my $7.50 senior ticket for something else. There is funny dialog but it all finds a way to be moralizing. Star studded to get you in the theater but not enough to keep you there. Arkin is always great. (We must love him because he is always the same guy.) Wilde and her "soon to be" are funny. Lots of characters but yet narration talks down to us. If somebody has got to get out of the house--why not?
'Mocking Jay Pt. 2' - Yeeeah, it's over! You see a lot of JLaw without makeup and she looks better. The silliness draws to an end and is probably the best of the series. (Or maybe it was me anticipating the end?) The most astounding feat was the digitized Seymour Hoffman. I guess his family has surrendered to new digital royalties--even his voice was perfect. Well, they finally crack Emerald City after surviving all the treacherous booby traps, they confront Snow and enter a new era for PanAmerica. The duplicitous Peter comes home and changes his tune (again). Nice final scene wrap up. If you are invested in the books or films then you will see it. If not, you probably have more sense than me than to waste you time seeing it in the first place.
