The Trouble with the Curve.
Man I really wanted to like this movie as I'm all about the hokey but this film isn't anywhere near getting it right.
The main problem is that it insists on concentrating on stuff that no one watching really cares about like the estranged father/daughter relationship(gee don't know how that's going to turn out?) or the sparks between the daughter and the guy from N Sync and leaving the good stuff to a 2 minute side note at the end.
Also Timberlake seems to be acting in a totally different movie or maybe he was simply reliving his hosting of the Espy Awards where being preternaturally glib is seen as a virtue and the fact that Eastwood is basically redoing Walt Kowalski from Gran Torino doesn't help much either.
Anyway liked the Latino kid who should have featured much more prominently if not for the delusions of the writers and director who strangely believed that the "twist" telegraphed as it was, still needed to be shot as a surprise.
My advice is to watch The Natural several times even though Redford is himself miscast and then find a Justin Timberlake Cd to smash.

We enjoyed it as a time-passer. It was interesting that both Adams and Timberlake both had their own level of charm, but together they did not seem to have any real chemistry. Eastwood is slightly more likeable than seeing Nicholson repeating the same character over and over and over. However, it would be nice to see him attempt something a bit different.
That peanut guy scene was telegraphed to an embarrassing level. They would have done better by not introducing him at all, rather than the peanut "fastball". :pinch:
FTMP, Timberlake isn't too bad, he's just no Marky Mark. :no:

Still can't believe he was cheated out of an Oscar nom for The Happening
Re: Critically Evaluate the last movie you saw.
Let's compare Timberlake to Wahlberg.
Timberlake: Mickey Mouse Club,N Sync,solo music career that anyone who isn't ghey would be ashamed of garnered him 5 Grammies,a bunch of shite movies and The Social Network, won him a couple Emmys,rich as fuck,travels the World mostly at other people's expense, now only works because he wants to, married to that hot piece of ass Jessica Biel.
Wahlberg: Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch,underwear model, for ever great movie he's been in like The Departed or Three Kings he's been in one like Planet of the Apes or The Other Guys but still nominated for 2 Oscars,produced several well received TV series,travels the World mostly at other people's expense,rich as fuck and now only works because he wants to, married to hot piece of ass fashion model Rhea Durham.
OK whatever we think about them ,clearly there are no losers here.:mellow:

Easy, DiCaprio wins.
Every good thing about Depp is negated by every pretentious scarf he wears. If my math is correct, that would be a wash.

"Warm Bodies"
Caught this one last night amid a bleak outlook for little screen watching. I was pleasantly surprised at this horror/comedy/romance. Being an avid TWD fan, but am not into all zombie movies. It was a relaxing way to pass a Saturday night. Nicholas Hoult did a nice job with his character and I soon found myself getting lost in the story. The director Jonathan Levine weaved in and out of flashback sequences, but they were not overly done and added to the pace of the story in general. All in all, not to shabby if you to tend like this genre. :)
(WWZ promises to be a bit more intense.) :alien:
