We're trying to decide between The Purge, And So it Goes or Wish I was There. Anyone have a review? ETA: We saw Lucy on Friday.

I saw Wish I Was Here a few weekends ago. It didn't get a very good rotten tomatoes review but I enjoyed it.
The soundtrack has some great artists on it too.

I saw A Most Wanted Man on Saturday. It was ok, not great. I don't know if I missed something or if there was something missing, but there were certain unanswered questions that left me feeling eh.
How was Lucy?

I saw The Purge on Saturday. If you like a shit ton of violence with your popcorn that's your flick. Me, I saw Chef a few weeks ago and MUCH preferred that!

I also saw "I Wish I Was Here". I found it a little slow in places but overall enjoyed the movie and the story.

Just saw Wish I were here today and enjoyed it. I know the reviews were iffy but.... we all like different things. I saw Boyhood yesterday and it was also good but didn't live up to my expectations. It is really cool how it was filmed over time, seeing the physical changes that are real, not makeup but at times it was depressing. JMHO. I preferred Wish I were here more. My daughters saw Lucy and hated it. My son saw The Purge and liked it. And so it Goes is on my want to see list. Good thing I have kids who work at the theatre and I get free movies:)

We ended up seeing The Purge because it fit our time window. Even though the killing was a tad over the top, we enjoyed the suspense and have enjoyed talking about where we would hide under those circumstances. We've seen Chef and Belle and enjoyed both of them very much!

I didn't go to the theater, but I did see The Grand Budapest Hotel and I loved it! I'm going to have to watch it again. It's a feast for the eyes. The color palette was so beautiful. The story was quirky and heartwarming. |

I saw Chef last week. It has a great ensemble cast. Definitely a feel good movie and I had strong urges to get creative in the kitchen afterward.
We watched "Walter Mitty" via DVD rental on Sunday. The scenery was gorgeous but the script was BLECH. I hate when product placement in a movie isn't organic to the story. Writing the script to feature the product placements multiple times made the story stupid and contrived.

I will chime in that Chef and The grand Budapest Hotel were great. The family, minus me, watched The Lego Movie last night and loved it. Pitch Perfect is a ci=ult classic for my teen daughter and she was going to watch it outside tonight at Red Rocks but our weather has been like a monsoon today with much flooding so she isn't willing to risk the drive up there or sitting in pouring rain. Sad day:(. My daughter and I saw Adam Levine's movie debut in Begin Again last week and really enjoyed it. There are very few movies out that haven't been seen by a member of my family this summer.
