Feb. 6th, 2016 11:42 pmThe Judge was amazing. I am a total sucker for family films, especially when the family is dysfunctional and fucked up and there is so much angst and so many FEELS and this one really hit the spot for me. I'll never get over how emotional Robert can get and how believable he can be and he is totally perfect in this film. Like, I can't even. Too many feels. It's fascinating to watch him come back home to his brothers and father and struggle with his past and the belief that his father never loved him and the anger he feels. Even though this movie was over two hours I just wanted more. So painful yet satisfying. Robert Downey Jr., thank you so much for this amazing performance.
Dead Man Walking was another superb film. Tim Robbins is a total god and I'm surprised by how much I loved this. Sean Penn's one of my favorites and I've always had a total soft spot for Susan Sarandon. Their performances were nothing less than stunning. Not to mention, this was a really hard to watch film and the best films always are (take Reservoir Dogs).
Edge of Tomorrow I loved much more than I thought I would. Tom Cruise is another one of my favorite's (I have never seen him in a film I hated and that is rare), and he and Emily Blunt were a duo I didn't think I'd come to love. Great idea, great design of the monsters and great characters. I loved Emily in the badass role and Tom as a coward and sort of damsel until Emily forces him to step up (this was a really great route Tom decided to go in and proves that he is such a feminist... I can't even). As if Tom and Simon (Pegg) weren't enough, now I'm all Tom and Emily.
So... I watch a lot of films, okay? And to think I used to watch more.
Also, Season 2 and Season 3 of Ray Donovan are drop dead amazing. Season 2 - Jon Voight, you are killing me. Season 3 - Jon Voight and Liev Schrieber... you two are killing me all over again. And Eddie Marsan... can't forget about you :)
