Theory VS. reality

Perhaps one should spend time in a kitchen cooking to see what is practical before writing about it.  An interesting article on kitchen trends.  Keep in mind the operative word “trend”.  Frankly, the team at BJGE LLC just doesn’t see it.  But for what it’s worth……..

XMAS movies

 

Opening Christmas Day:

Her
★★★½ (out of ★★★★)

Select Cities - A genre-busting romantic drama of both generous whimsy and heart-crumbling beauty, "Her" isn't quite like any other film out there. One of 2013's most affecting, intimate love stories.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
★★½ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" doesn't resonate with the sheer force and impact it could have, and yet it still does make a truthful, comforting impression at its own pace, on its own terms.

The Wolf of Wall Street
★★★½ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - Darkly funny, sexually explicit and fearlessly disturbing all at once, anchored by Leonardo DiCaprio in a deliriously brilliant performance. If anyone still has doubts that he is one of the all-time great Hollywood actors, "The Wolf of Wall Street" is his resounding confirmation.

weekend movies

 

Opening This Week:

Out of the Furnace
★★ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - Standing next to something like 2013's similar but radically more complex and thematically loaded "Prisoners," "Out of the Furnace" is an unambitious exploitation flick that just so happens to have A-list actors and production values.

Another Retro-Review:

Madea's Big Happy Family (2011)
½ (out of ★★★★)

It isn't the worst film to feature that law-breaking, right-and-ready, tell-it-exactly-like-it-is matriarch, but it is the sloppiest. "Madea's Big Happy Family" is a facetious title; there's not a happy one in the bunch. Eventually, neither is the viewer.
