Movies Watched -- Bridge of Spies

Added on August 15, 2016 by C. Maoxian.

I didn't hate this, but at 135 minutes it's way way too long, at least 35 minutes too long, and there's something preachy about all these Spielberg movies, it's like he's a frustrated rabbi desperate to impart morality, the sacred truths ... annoying. Had the killer kid with the ugly face from Breaking Bad, whom I was happy to see. I started out giving it a green but then the length and tedious sanctimony of it knocked it down to a yellow (consider).

Movies Watched -- The Big Short

Added on August 15, 2016 by C. Maoxian.

I read the book and enjoyed it, but I wasn't thrilled with the movie. Christian Bale is really good as Asperger's-afflicted Burry, as is Steve Carell as Steve Eisman, but for some reason I couldn't get into it. And it was overly long at 130 minutes, at least 30 minutes too long. Yellow rating. Read the book, it's better.

I look like Brad Pitt except I'm bald and my beard is untrimmed.
