Three sentence movie reviews: Stuck in Love

http://www.impawards.com/2013/stuck_in_love.html

Time passes quickly in this story of a family of writers.  Everyone struggles with something or other and there are problems, but nothing that feels like it can’t be solved.  While that seems like a criticism, I found it rather enjoyable.

Cost:  Free, rented through Hoopla, the library’s streaming service. 
Where watched: at home, sitting in front of my computer.  (This was a huge downside to the Hoopla viewing experience.  Also, the subtitles were terrible.  They would flash on the screen and disappear before the character spoke.)

Three sentence movie reviews: Foxcatcher

poster from: http://www.impawards.com/2014/foxcatcher.html

Much like Force Majeure, this movie gives ample time to examine all quadrants of the movie screen in each scene.  Unlike Force Majuere, this was a slow and interesting film, most probably because a lot of the screen was taking up with Mr. Channing Tatum.  I knew how the story ended (because I remember when it happened) and yet I still found myself wrapped up in the conclusion.

Cost: Free due to gift card
Where watched:  Regal Foxtower
