Some new Film Screenings I've seen

Some of you have asked me what I've seen in new films that are coming out soon.  I am lucky enough to be invited to go to some screenings and I really enjoy seeing a film before the TV and newspaper reviewers  start to tell me the story in their reviews.   So I promise you I WON'T tell you what happens.  Just some suggestions of films I think should be seen.  or not.

What have I just seen?

 

August Rush. 

A lovely "fairy tale" type film with fantastic music.  And if you have ever lived in NYC which I have and lived near Central Park you must see it.    Made me homesick for my West Side NYC life.   Certainly must accept some unrealistic events but I can do that when I know it is a Fairy Tale.  Great to get away from the real world and it's problems.

In the Valley of Elah.   

 A gripping film with some great performances by Tommy Lee Jones and Susan Sarandon.  

Into the Wild.  

Although I love the people involved in this film I didn't find it as good as other films like this.  You may disagree but had trouble with some of the choices by the writers since the story is one some of us have read or know about.   Certainly some beautiful scenery but did not get me!

Would love to hear about some other films that I have not had a chance to see yet. 

talk soon

As much as I love Krakauer's book and as much as I'm a fan of Sean Penn's work, I really had some issues with "Into The Wild." Honestly, I was fuming when I walked out of the theater. A great opportunity... squandered. Ugh!
