Movies Watched -- The Lunchbox

Added on by C. Maoxian.

Finally a movie from 2014 that I can recommend ... this was very sweet, a lovely little story ... just the right length at 100 minutes. Green rating. 

Realized that among my 2013 movie recommendations (All Is Lost, Blue Is the Warmest Color, Mother of George, Museum Hours, Wadjda, and The Wolf of Wall Street), four are foreign pics and one has no dialogue. Anything with subtitles knocks out what, maybe 90% of the American viewing audience?

Blockbuster ... a little overly long at 105 minutes before the credits ... Tom Cruise, I like Tom Cruise, think he's talented ... not sure who the female lead was, some blue-eyed British girl with very little body fat ... one of those Groundhog Day timewarp things that gets confusing ... major props for paying homage to the Terminator with the key drop from visor ... amazing special effects, must have been something on the big screen. One of those movies that probably cost 100 million dollars to make. War porn of a sort. Yellow rating.

Again in the queue before I instituted the 90% fresh cutoff ... British comedy, very British ... had some funny bits ... old DJs versus corporate radio, do people still listen to radio?  Anywhere in the world?  Even Norwich? Starred the guy from that awful Philomena movie. 90 minutes long, which was the right length. Yellow rating.
