Two weeks ago, I saw THE DESCENDANTS and MY WEEK WITH MARILYN. I enjoyed both of these movies. George Clooney was good in the DESCENDANTS, but the best performance was from the actress that plays his oldest daughter. I am happy that she was nominated for a Golden Globe. The movie was slow in some parts but as a whole was a typical Alexander Payne movie, and I liked it.
Michelle Williams was very good as Marilyn Monroe. There were a few scenes where she was eerily good. The rest of the cast was very good as well. Kenneth Branagh completely embodied Laurance Olivier.
Last weekend, I went to the early IMAX release of MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: GHOST PROTOCOL. There was a prologue for THE DARK KNIGHT RISE which introduced all of the watchers to BANE, played by Tom Hardy. I liked this a lot. MISSION IMPOSSIBLE looked amazing in IMAX. The scenes from the top of the tallest building in the world in Dubai were breath taking. I would rate this second in the series after the first one. The new team was good.
Also, saw SHERLOCK HOLMES: GAME OF SHADOWS last weekend. This was better than the first one. All of the characters were established, and we got to concentrate on there adventures as opposed to their development. Jared Harris was great as Moriarty. I am hoping that they make a few more of these.
