This weekend...

I have been watching quite a bit of TV and plan to catch up on my writing this week.  The niece and nephew are in town, so we have watched CARS 2 http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/disney/cars2/ twice all the way through, and two other times part of the way through.

I also saw BREAKING DAWN, Part 1 http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/summit/thetwilightsagabreakingdawnpart1/ this past Friday.  It was good, but really just half a movie.  Could have left out almost an hour from this part, and given me a 3 hour movie.  Now looking forward to Part 2, which comes out next summer.

Last week saw the IMMORTALS http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/independent/immortals/, and J. EDGAR http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/wb/jedgar/.  IMMORTALS was visually good, but was basically eye candy for women and gay men.  Not much story, but the battle scenes were cool.

J. EDGAR was amazing.  It will run the gambit with nominations for both the Golden Globes and the Oscars.  Leonardo DiCaprio was amazing as usual.  Makeup on Armie Hammer could of been better, but was not distracting.  Naomi Watts was subtle, but still amazing.  I love watching Clint Eastwood movies, because he always employees great actors, who give great performances...

  2. Breaking Dawn...haven't seen it, but I imagine it isn't meant for 4th graders. Some of mine are bragging how they saw the midnight showing. Kid friendly or not?
