“Philomena”

Mrs. Cohn Zohn and I played hooky and went to see the movie "Philomena" this afternoon. I wasn't expecting much but I found the movie to be, well, lovely. I recommend it although some of you may find it a little sappy. I'm both a sap and a sucker. Judi [...]

Blue Jasmine

I eagerly went to see Woody Allen's new movie Blue Jasmine. I see everything Woody makes. I want to love all his movies and many I do love. I don't love Blue Jasmine. Kate Blanchett and Sally Hawkins give wonderful performances. Woody always writes good parts for women. And Blanchett [...]

Argo??????????????????????????????

Argo won for best picture. Give me a break. It was a nice little movie, a pleasurable little movie. It was not nearly in the class of Life of Pi, Beasts of the Southern Wild, Lincoln -- in that order. Not even close. What a silly Academy Award for best [...]

Stand up Guys, the movie

On Sunday, took Mrs. Cohn Zohn to the movies. It was our first outing since her surgery -- except to go see doctors. Saw Stand Up Guys with Al Pacino, Christopher Walken and Alan Arkin. Loved it. Not saying it's a great movie. But it's a hell of a movie. [...]

Life of Pi

Mrs. Cohn Zohn and I snuck away this afternoon and went to the flicks and saw Life of Pi. Great movie. I did not read the book and can't compare it to the movie. But director Ang Lee is a visual genius. The movie starts a little slow -- don't [...]

Skyfall: two thumbs up from Cohn Zohn

Just got back from Skyfall and I loved it. Mrs. Cohn Zohn did too. I think it's the best Bond movie ever made. It harkens back to the past movies in lots of nice ways but also is very contemporary. Lots of plot surprises and excellent acting and the movie [...]

Skyfall

Mrs. Cohn Zohn and I are going to see Skyfall early this afternoon -- the Bond movie. She isn't into Bond but I always have been. We would invite Grant but he'll be in Santa Clara chez Niners. Mrs. Cohn Zohn, who is in charge of our movie viewing, wanted [...]

Dark Knight Rises

As part of my vacation fun I like to see films on my own that Mrs. Cohn Zohn never would see with me. So I went out and saw Dark Knight Rises. It is a very good movie for one of THOSE movies. By that I mean, it has fighting [...]

More Godfather

As you know I watched The Godfather yesterday. Grant watched it also and then he watched Godfather II. He's a much better critic than I am and later he explained the difference between Don Corleone and Micheal Corleone. The old don worked out problems -- at least much of the [...]
