Finally! Something decent comes out of Hollywood! A couple movies I highly recommend down below.
We always go to the Clearview Cinama in Ocean. I get 2 free tickets on Tuesday's with my Optimum Cablevsion Cards. Their website lists all the movies and they also list, as a percentage, the number of people who reviewed the movie and would recommend the film to others.
http://www.clearviewcinemas.com/cgi-bin/locations.cgi?id=018&flag=diplay_theatreClick on the "showtimes" box. Then click on the movie title. The reviews are on the left.
For Instance - The new movies "Did you hear about the Morgans'" looks absolutely moronic to me. (I sat through the previews a few times.) And apparently, the viewers thought the same and only 56% would recommend the film.
These two films below are rated at 96% and 99% so nearly everyone liked the movie. I've found this to be a good gauge of the movies quality. Anything below a 75% is probably junk.
I saw "It's Complicated" the other night. Lots of laughs. A great line-up with Steve Martin, Alec Baldwin and Meryl Streep. The web site rated this one at 96%. If you're middle aged you MUST go see this movie! It's rated "R" but for some mild reasons. They are smoking pot in a couple scenes and you see a few bedroom scenes too. Oddly enough, both scenes are hysterical and far from offensive!
And "The Blind Side" with Sandra Bullock, Kathy Bates & Tim McGraw is also high on my list. It was rated at 99% on their web site. (I wonder what those other 1% were thinking?)
I haven't seen it yet but everyone on the planet has told me about it! Every time I go, the theater is sold out or they moved the film to an inconvenient time. I'll get there eventually, and I know I will love this film.
Start the new decade off right. Stop watching garbage movies and reality TV shows. And start with these two films.
