Megamind was entertaining. 

A Bigger Splash

A Bigger Splash sounded very interesting unrelated to the original film it was adapted from. I liked the cast. But in the end it was all watching Ralph Fiennes and Tilda Swinton being fabulous and only that. Other than that glorious fact it was just not interesting (to me that is) 

Source Code

Source Code is film I never bothered with because it has Michelle Monaghan in it. Whenever this lady is in a film, it turns out it doesn't work for me (the sole exception would be The Heartbreak Kid I guess but still it would have been better if that character was played by someone else) I don't know why since she is pretty, a decent actress and all. Anyway I do love Jake Gyllenhall. So I gave this one a try when it fall on my lap and I'm very glad I did because it turned to be a well acted, well directed film that sort of turned the water works on towards the end.  

Mon Roi

Mon Roi turned out to be one of those talky French films that I think I'd eventually be bored with but never do. I just love talky cinema (!). Anyway this was nicely acted and the female lead had an accident that incapacitated her for a while (which reminded me of my little accident although very very minor in scale brought back the terrible experience of trying to do stuff while on crutches).
I will not recommend this unless you are into talky French films 

Prince of Thorns

Prince of Thorns was not so bad, however it didn't work for me at all. I don't I'll continue these series. Still continue the bad streak as far as this genre goes.

Mother's Day

Mother's Day is the latest of the "day" films directed by Gary Marshall. After the success of the Valentine's Day he followed it by New Year's Day (which was BAD BAD BAD) and this one I think has the worst box office among the three. I felt like watching it yesterday since I didn't want to involve myself much and I love Julia Roberts. Surprisingly I liked the film. The aging stars had wrinkles and I think I liked that the best. It is not a good film though and I won't recommend. 

Live By Night

Live By Night was very good. I had a great time and once again Mr. Lehane didn't dissapoint. I did like the first Coughlin novel better though, probably due to its period and place being more interesting to me.
