OK, fine...

I didn't possess any overt interest in seeing the film, but might as well, right? I read half of the book, I personally didn't see what all the fuss was about. Then again, I love a good steamy romance on the big screen.

Foxcatcher

I saw a preview for 'Foxcatcher' last week at the movie theater and am now eagerly anticipating its debut this coming Friday. The biographical drama tells the story of Olympic Wrestling Champion Mark Shultz (played by Channing Tatum) and his deranged wealthy coach John du Pont (played by Steve Carell), who in 1996, murdered Shultz's brother, Olympic Champion Dave Schultz (played by Mark Ruffalo). Bennett Miller, the director of the film won Best Director Award in the 2014 Cannes Film Festival. Watch the trailer here. 

Look Up! Look Down!

I'm making a point to watch more classic flicks, and that includes Thunderball, the fourth film in the James Bond series released in 1965. Although I can't exactly relate to Bond's smooth spy tactics, I can relate to the dreamy landscape, the full-figured female physiques, and just love the jet-set wardrobes, cocktail couture and lost notions of allure and romance...it's good to be Bond.

Chef

I just saw 'Chef' the delightful feel-good flick meets culinary comedy about a chef who in the depth of his career, takes a risk to follow his passion for cooking, ultimately bringing him close to the things that matter most in his life, namely, his son. Thematically, we've all seen films of this sort, however I found it refreshing as a new-age, lighthearted reminder of the things dear to our personal joy. The film is accompanied by a fun cast, snappy soundtrack, and a road trip to some good old-fashioned cuisine capitals. View the trailer, here.
