Movie Buffs

















Brody and I share a love of movies, or at least a desire to love movies, (I especially am becoming more and more hard to please..) and there are a lot of promising movies to look forward to this fall so I'm trying to keep my expectations in check while still allowing a good amount of excitement. But look how long that list is! Yay!  Plus all our TV shows will be back on in the fall...


  • Star Wars: The Force Awakens - I think everyone wants to see this one. And will.
  • Spectre - I really liked Skyfall and can't wait to see Christophe Waltz as a Bond villain. Absolutely!
  • The Martian - The cast. The concept. Based on a good book. I'm there. (I also want to read the book so if you have a copy...)
  • Steve Jobs - I loved The Social Network and am really curious to see what Aaron Sorkin has done with Steve Jobs' story. Plus Danny Boyle intrigues me so it should be good, right?
  • Bridge of Spies - Spielberg and Hanks in a Cold War drama about an attorney? Yes please.
  • The Intern - I just kind of love Nancy Meyers movies (Father of the Bride, Somethings Gotta Give, It's Complicated) even though it's usually more for the homes and interiors than anything else ;)
  • Hateful 8 - Tarantino is a violent nut job, but that nut job knows how to make a good movie.
  • Spotlight - Michael Keaton, Mark Ruffalo, Rachel McAdams and Stanley Tucci uncovering the massive Catholic Church scandal? Yeah. I'd watch that. Plus I feel like Michael Keaton only comes out of the woodwork to do a really good movie so....we'll see.
  • The Revenant - I liked Birdman a lot so I'm really curious to see this one, plus it has Leo and he doesn't really make a bad movie....Leo*whispered*
  • Sisters - Tina Fey and Amy Pohler, you betcha.
  • Black Mass - This just looks creepy as all get out, I'll have to read the parental guidance before committing to this one but I do love me some Cumberbatch, Bacon and Depp
  • Snowden - I just find him and his story fascinating so I'd be curious to see this one if it gets good reviews.
  • The Walk - Man on Wire was a surprisingly great documentary so I'm definitely intrigued by this one. Plus it will be weirdly nice but also sad to see the twin towers again, if only through computer graphics.
  • Suffragette - In honor of all those amazing women that have gone before, movies like this need to be made. Plus is has Meryl Streep and Helena Bonham Carter so...yeah.
