Silver Linings Playbook



Anyone who's sat through the preview already know this movie has something to do with dysfunction, I mean, what with the guy jogging around in a Hefty bag & all.

I think what the film points out, though, is we're every single one of us "nuts" in our own way--and football fans most of all--word.

Jab Tak Hai Jaan




Never mind the attempts at lip-synching that don't actually count as "attempts"--seriously, no nit-picking--never mind those.


There is absolutely nothing at all wrong with this movie--nothing at all that shaving about an hour off of the interminable running time wouldn't solve.

Paperman



In my review of "Wreck-It Ralph," I forgot to mention the absolutely best part of that movie.

It was this amazing, creative, short that aired before the movie, and featured a beautiful classically-animated style!

Lincoln



Hey-- where were all of the effing vampires they promised?

It's like the time I went to see "Pride & Prejudice," and discovered the zombies were a lie.

Wreck-It Ralph



What was so great about this movie was seeing all of the classic video game characters, and watching for semi-hidden references in the background--it's a shame the pedestrian story ended up getting in the way!

This feature really would have benefited from having its best bits pared down to an eight-minute, star-packed comedy.

Flight


The pilot in this film is named Whip Whitaker, which somehow reminds me of some other famous pilot.  

The movie is not like its own preview, which in this case, is a shame.

Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana

If the movie ever spins itself off into frozen dinners, this would make an OK box.
I don't know if they'll want to be totally honest on the ingredients label, though.


I enjoyed this movie that is sort-of-tangentially-but hardly-at-all-really about cooking tasty food, and it gave me an idea for a recipe that surely someone, somewhere has tried before.

It would be helpful, wouldn't it, to counteract heartburn & stomach upset by slipping pepto right into the food!
