12 Years a Slave - brutal; as slavery films are. Great acting all around.
Out of the Furnace - PJ's "Release Me" bookends this film. Brother story. Christian Bale and Woody H. rocked. Inspiredt to buy some PJ.
The Book Thief - Brutal, as WW2 films are. Sweet story as WW2 movies are to show juxtoposition of humanity vs. inhumanity.
Am so sick of the wolf of wall street trailer prior to these films. It looks like it really sux.
Piss off jonah hill.

Catching Fire-1 1/2 vines. I was not expecting it to end where it did. thought that was maybe the start of third act. ugh! not pleased with her love interest. he doesn't do shit. just mopes around. no man is worthy of Katniss. and peeta, maybe he'll show some actual balls in the next film and stop looking like he has to find a bathroom.

Two very different father/daughter movies. *spoilers*
Homefront-hi winona ryder! Hey cutie james franco. Go away annoying daughter.
Decide on an accent jason stratham (sp). Methy. Score: One vine for james francos sweet smile.
Old Boy-oh josh brolns naked ass....cool. ok a getting sober movie. No, its james brolin as a ninja in the worst fight scenes ever movie. Ok this has to get better its a spike lee joint. Where is this thing going? Is that guy leaving? I ate too many red vines. A "big brother" movie? Oh, incest.
Score: No vines.

About Time - somewhat likeable rom-com about fathers and sons.
How I Live Now - detestable tripe, filled with gaffes and plot holes, in a film that tried too hard to be too many genres.
Blue Is the Warmest Color - perhaps the first NC17 film to be in the Oscars. Almost three hours long, with controversial lengthy sex scenes, that also gives an honest and heartbreaking study of the cycle of a relationship.

12 Years a Slave - excellent, but very disturbing film. A more accurate and gripping portrayal of slavery than last year's genre bending, and rather goofy, Django. Fans of The Butler may like this one better.
All Is Lost - another strong Best Picture contender. A literal viewing makes this a water based Murphy's Law, and there will be comparisons to Gravity. But the film is also metaphorical, with almost no talking, allowing for multiple interpretations. Robert Redford may finally win his first Best Actor.
