Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, horror, action, adventure, blah.
Then watched Jeremy Renner in Neo Ned (Netflix) and it was great acting, great drama.

Cloud Atlas. Well made. Star-studded. But I think I'd have to watch it a dozen times to come close to understanding it!

SPOILERS:
Every now and then a movie takes stupidity to the next level. A group of four newbie bank robbers plan to rob a bank by telling authorities where and when they're robbing the bank. An army of police and FBI (and one Interpol agent) rush to the bank to stop the robbery. But, get this... the robbers had previously smuggled in a movie-screen size mirror into the bank, got it through a jail-bar wall with only a regular size door, placed it in front of the vault to make it look like the vault was gone. The authorities don't notice that there's a mirror there, cutting the large room in half. The authorities then leave and then the robbers blow open the vault and steel the money.
Like so many other movies, the goal of the criminals/heroes could be easily achieved without anything in the movie. If they could smuggle in the mirror, they could have robbed the bank then. No need for endless stupid things in this movie to facilitate this bank robbery. No need to let authorities know who they are so that they'd have to hide the rest of their lives. No need for this movie.
I just finished watching "Les Adieux à la reine" (Farwell, My Queen) and it was pretty good - it's essentially about Versailles starting at the storming of the Bastille. Not historically accurate, but an interesting film and an interesting take on the people of that time. Léa Seydoux is a great actress, so I'll probably see "La vie d'Adèle" when it comes out.
I can watch only Kung Fu movies with subtitles, heck you don't really need them. I discovered Jackie Chan while in Japan and the movies were either dubbed or subtitled in Japanese, Drunken Master and other movies of that era need no words.
Just watched "Snitch." Decent action, So so acting. Too much message.
