She hooked me in Winter’s Bone, I loved her in Silver Linings Playbook. And now I’m stuck w loyalty that exceeds cinematic value

Many Brits choose a team for a cool reason but mine was and still is purely a love for the film The Silver Linings Playbook. I would LOVE to see them win tonight, and stop KC getting the treble. I doubt they will, but nonetheless, FLY EAGLES FLYYY

How do people react to painful life events like betrayal, unexpected death of a loved one, loss of job and status. Seems to me the answer is love and kindness. So well acted and I love the depictions of male culture and male friendships. 4 hobbits :)

I said a Matter of Life and Death and it was tumbleweed. "Powell and Pressburger?" Blank looks all round. I didn't bother joining.

I know ppl find it problematic but it's a genuinely smart/funny/romantic film, & I feel like this kind of movie is the rarest kind of movie, maybe the rarest kind of story, period. Also, it's my all-time favorite De Niro performance. Shoulda won the Oscar.

Katniss is her most famous role. As an actress, she can communicate as much with expression as dialogue. Generational talent. #movies #film

positive · AI labelView post →**her** 3.5/5: As a 2013 release this is a very interesting retrospective watch. I will say that this movie doesn't have a lot of dialogue, it has a lot of characters monologuing in each others direction ending on some line they think is going to be really impactful **Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die** 4.5/5: I continue to say, Sam Rockwell is not the best actor in the world, but man is he good at picking very interesting movies. This is really fun and is right on the nose about what it's saying…
neutral · AI labelView post →Is Silver Linings Playbook a Thanksgiving movie? I’m pretty sure it ends on Christmas, but it’s full of football, Fall, and family drama, with a bunch of scenes where everyone come back to mom and dad’s house for a meal. Pretty sure it qualifies.
