1. Django—I dislike long
movies, but I didn’t want this one to end.
Extended, fully developed scenes .
Astounding writing and acting.
Lots of actors I thought were long dead had bit parts.
2. Life of Pi—Spectacular and
suspenseful family fantasy with a point.
I think.
3. Jack Reacher—Old-fashioned
rollicking private eye flick combining suspense, humor…and Tom Cruise.
4. The Way—Diverse and interesting
people on a three month walk in the Pyrenees.
Wish I could have been one of them.
5. Stand Up Guys—Pacino,
Arkin and Walken. Very funny yet serious
movie about aging friends facing moral dilemmas.
6. Skyfall—Another
spare-no-expense James Bond thriller.
7. Taken 2—Liam Niesen
single-handedly slays dozens of Albanians in picturesque Istanbul.
8. Bernie—Was this supposed
to be so funny? Jack Black would be
funny in a Holocaust movie.
9. 2016-Obama’s America—D’Sousa catches Obama blundering into admitting what he’s really up to.
10. Moonrise Kingdom—Bill Murray is hilarious in the quirky, witty film.
