Silver screen

Saw a couple movies over the holidays, and here are my thoughts:

Les Mis -- eh.  My expectations were so high for this one!  I mean, I love historical movies, Frenchies, and musicals.  But I must say I got kind of bored during this one.  Sigh

Silver Linings Playbook -- So good!  For the first time, I finally get why people love Bradley Cooper.  And Jennifer Lawrence was so pretty/amazing.

Lawless -- This is out on dvd, we watched it on demand.  I was surprised, but I really liked it!  Caveat - I love anything set in the olden days and/or involving cowboys.  Although I guess these guys aren't technically cowboys because they don't ride horses.  But they are dirty and have accents and beat people up.  It's  got a lot of violence, but if you aren't too squeamish I'd definitely recommend this.  One of the my favorites this year!

Movies I want to see:
Argo
Gangster Squad - although I think it's totally unfair whats-her-name gets to be in two movies with Ryan Gosling (first was Crazy Stupid Love which I didn't love in the movie theater but now watch every time it's on tv)
Broken City - 2 words: Marky Mark!

And finally, I know this is a tv show and not a movie but I started watching Homeland when sis in law came to visit and now I'm HOOKED.  It is so suspenseful!  And Claire Danes is such a good actress - I totally believe her.  Although it does nothing to alleviate my childhood fears that one day I will go crazy.  I'm just now starting season 2 so no one tell me spoilers!
