helpful hint: an easy way to adjust the large poster links from this site is simply to change the word "large" to "medium" in the url.

for example, change:
hxxp://images4.static-bluray.com/products/20/4445_1_large.jpg
to
hxxp://images4.static-bluray.com/products/20/4445_1_medium.jpg

Thanks I wondered if I could do that by changing it from large to medium but just never tried.

Just wanna throw this link out there, it's been really helpful to me for finding actor connections. Just in case anyone is as bad as Six Degrees of Separation as I am.

Moonrise Kingdom (First Time Viewing)
3/5
A lot better than I thought it be. Considering I hated. and I mean HATED The Grand Budapest Hotel. there was some stuff I liked and others I could have done without.

I kinda wish I bought it on Walmart.com when it was $5. Oh, well. Let and let die.

[cinemaphile]

Yeah we would make up our own list, so it's still a challenge, but not too restrictive. Like I wouldn't include steampunk, parkour, etc. But more stuff like "a film featuring a genius", which leaves it open for people to choose anything from comedies to dramas, action, animated, whatever.

I enjoyed it a lot, it's definitely one of the better movies I've seen in awhile. I like a good sci-fi story and this was one of them.

Silver Linings Playbook (Infinite Re-watch. )
5/5
I can't even begin to tell you how much I love and adore this movie. I love it more and more with each viewing. Which I thought wasn't possible. But it is. Jen's performance in this is just so many things. Happy, sad, both heart breaking and heart warming. You just can't help but fall in love with her character. Because she is a character who's been through so much. and you just want her to be happy. Same goes with Pat Bradley Cooper's character. I can't see anyone else in these roles. Which funny enough were suppose to be Mark Wahlberg and Anne Hathaway. Then Originally Jen and Mark. And then finally Jen and Bradley. So it all worked out for the best. Still think it's one of the top films of 2012 and should have won best picture. and that's not bias talking. That's my god honest truth.

I'll have to fit that one in somewhere this month. I haven't seen it yet, don't freak out on me but I haven't seen any of The Hunger Games movies either. I was going to try and add them to the movie chain this month.

Romanccccceee.

But yeah, incorporating it into the chain should be interesting too.
