So we have been hanging around and watching a few flicks, some good some average.
MY SON JACK. ( Masterpiece Theater - PBS) A story of Jack Kipling, the only son of Rudyard Kipling who was sent to France as an Army officer in WWI. He died one day after his 18th birthday. The story is of his relationship with his father who was a very influential person in England and the war and the family's coping with the loss of their son. The movie works because so many people can relate to having a loved one killed or missing in action (whether it was Viet Nam, Afghanistan, or any other war).
SALT. The Bourne Identity with Angelina Jolie instead of Matt Damon. Lots of action and fun.
INCEPTION. Have you ever turned on the TV and it is in the middle of the movie so you are scrambling mentally to understand the story? Well, that's the way I felt with this movie. I watched this with five other people and none of us could figure it out. Maybe if I watched it again, it would make more sense, but I didn't like it enough to do that. The story is too twisted to enjoy without a program.
TRUE GRIT. Enjoyed the original last night. Great John Wayne movie. Went to the Coen brothers "remake" this afternoon. It is a definite "must see". Interesting story, great characters, good dialogue. Actually, it is not a remake but a re-telling of a story. I must admit that I did not miss the Duke for one minute.
EAT, PRAY, LOVE. Chick Flick
