MaestroReviews

Deb and I are artists, painters actually. We go see films as often as once a week. That's right, we go to the theater and sit in a dark room with strangers to see movies. We rarely rent. We like "little" movies, foreign and documentary films. We try to stay away from mainstream and blockbusters whenever possible, but a couple sneak in each year. We seek out the obscure. We try to avoid violent movies, and that really limits our choices, most film makers seem to think violence makes a story interesting.
I try not to give anything away in the reviews, but offer an honest reaction.
We rate them 1~10, 10 being highest.

Silver Lining Playbook

Deb 8      Me 8

We both liked it. Deb didn't at the start and it won her over. I liked it all the way through. A good story. The main guy had some Sean Penn going for him, quiet intensity, ability to take you up and down at his will. He was excellent. The main girl did a great job, had some Juno about her but was pretty believable in her role. Some of the supporting crew was a bit cartoonish at times, but the story worked. Robert DeNiro has a big supporting role. I missed the early DeNiro work, the stuff that made him a legend, the only time I see him is in these soft core roles. Too bad, I heard he was a game changer. Here he was fine. More of these movies would be fine with me.
