The Year in Review for Movies

Firstly , I don't know who the theatres cater to but its not me.
'Thor Pt II ' and the ' Hobbit , Pt II ' both 3D and Sound Blast 7.?
- way too noisy , a distraction and 3D is for someone else not moi

The winner : ' Percy Jackson , Pt II ' - funny , interesting and definitely a character building effort ( young people esp.) on open - mindedness and friendship

' Lonely Ranger and Tootoo ' was a decent production - updated story and definitely progressive for an ' oater '.

' Elysium ' is an example of everything the audience should want :
big star , the future , drama , butt kicking and a love interest. Formulaic ? , yes and OK. Its fluff - pay your dollar ( oh yeah , its not the Redbox , pay your $10 ) and get mentally pulverized for 1 1/2 or in the case of the ' H Pt II ' , more like 3 hr.

I'm still watching the TV series ' Elementary ' - the Sherlock Holmes update w/ Jonny Lee Millar. The familiarity may be starting to build contempt. I don't do well as a long time viewer. 
No patience , boredom onset - too picky.... me ? too picky
YES 
' Criminal Minds ' for a season or 2. Not anymore
' CSI ' ditto
' NCIS ' , a little longer

Coming from behind and closing fast , the ' Big Bang Theory '.
We are catching tBBT on re-runs , mostly , and these episodes are a hoot.  the fascination is my fear that I'm really Sheldon.
Love Penny and Amy is a conflict of everything worldly and metaphysical , too rich !

The opinions offered here are solely those of the author and neither PBS or PRI takes any responsibility. So there !!!!

Must sees for you : the ' Electric Cowboy ' at least 15 yrs old now.
Starring - starring really , Robert Redford and Jane Fonda plus a supporting cast of the best character types possible - even Willie 
Nelson  is casted perfectamundo, Unfortunately , he sings all the songs. One would have been good - 2 not so etc.

weather took a turn and its almost like God loves us. Cold but OK , gusty wind and blue sky  ( for now , a dump is due )
