What movies are worth watching, June 1, 2013 (best one: 42)
Now You See Me: Go see it if you are intelligent enough to follow a sometimes complicated story line, enjoy crime stories, or are in the mood for something fun and different. I really enjoyed it.
The Great Gatsby: Go see it unless hearing modern music in a period piece will disturb you. Visually stunning. Follows the book closely, though takes a bit of a different interpretation on some things. Explains outright what they want you to think the symbolism means. In any event, I cared more about Gatsby and Daisy in this movie than in the book or in the Redford movie.
Oblivion: Go see it unless you like your sci-fi to be plausible.
Star Trek Into Darkness: Go see it if you are a fan of the first generation. You will probably enjoy it if you are younger, but many of the best bits are the takeoffs on the original characters. Unfortunately Kirk and Kahn did not even seem to try to pull off the personalities of the original characters.
Oz The Great and Powerful: Go see it with your family if your kids aren't easily frightened. An enjoyable and visually interesting extension of the original.
Hangover Part III: Don't bother. Not quite as bad as the turd that was the second movie, but only a couple laughs and mostly a waste of time.
42: Everyone should go see this, especially teens who really don't have a clue about how things used to be. My teen enjoyed it. Very well done and entertaining as well as emotionally informative.
Iron Man 3: Go see it if you like action adventure flicks. Well done.
The Place Beyond The Pines: A movie that didn't seem to know what it wanted to be, but was not completely unsuccessful. On the dark and depressing side.
Olympus Has Fallen: Corny, but somewhat entertaining. Go see it if you have nothing better to do.
Identity Thief: A complete waste of the talents of its heroine. There was one really funny scene, but she was not really a part of it. Skip it unless you like dull formulaic movies. (I'm thinking most of Reese Witherspoon's flicks would be an example.)
The Company You Keep: Sadly a fail. But, one of the better movies Shia LeBouf has ever been in.
The Great Gatsby: Go see it unless hearing modern music in a period piece will disturb you. Visually stunning.

I suppose this will be musings about writing, books and writing books...maybe even about booking writers. I suppose, since it is my blog, I'll also throw in whatever else I think you, dear reader, mig
