It was a free Stars weekend on DirecTV so caught some new (to me) movies.

The first was "Big Hero Six". It wasn't at all what I was expecting but I really enjoyed it. i look forward to the inevitable sequel. The American/Japanese mashup was interesting and a bit jarring at times.

I have never seen "My Cousin Vinny" as it didn't look like my kind of movie. I recently saw an interesting tidbit about the movie on Reddit, so recorded it when it came up on Stars. Turns out it was pretty good and I enjoyed it. It was amusing, though not "laugh out loud" funny. I thought Pesci did a good job but was actually too old for the part. Marisa Tomei was "wow" and completely stole the show.

My kids loved Big Hero Six. We saw it in the theaters when it came out.

Yeah, it was good. I just thought it was going to be about a robot, not a superhero team.

I always liked The Sixth Sense, Signs and Lady In the Water from M. Night.

No one else seemed to like those besides Sixth Sense though.

I didn't like the village by him.

The Village was buns

I like Signs a lot.

Yeah the whole 2nd half of the movie I was thinking there has to be a sequel.

I really liked Signs, I've watched it a few times and usually pick up on something I missed the first time or 2 I've watched it. Really want to see The Visit when it comes out, although I'll attempt to keep my expectations at bay.

Color of Money...good film, but could have been a great film. I feel like Cruise and Newman were wasted on a mediocre script.

God damn Southpaw was a great movie. It's too bad I watched it in such a dusty room...

'True Story' sucks.

Avoid.

I watched Dumb and Dumber 2 since it finally came on cable. It had some funny parts but overall I knew it would be exactly like the modern day Farrelly Brother films, mediocre to awful like the Three Stooges and Hall Pass. Once they made that clunker "Stuck on You" in 2003 it's been down hill ever since.

Just watched A Most Violent Year (it's on Amazon Prime). The movie was pretty good -- didn't love the end, though. Oscar Isaac is a great actor, I'm excited to see him in more stuff and need to catch him on that HBO show now.

i did not expect such an emotional film.. damn it hit after hit after hit.. Jake did a great job.

Forget Paris....a great Billy Crystal flick...and I SWEAR Debra Winger is Zooey Deschanel's mother.
