Tonight I watched Jack the Giant Slayer and I enjoyed it much more than Gone Girl. Nick Hoult was excellent as Jack.
Front-Ranger:
That's one of the reasons I don't like BA, actually. For instance, in Argo, there was a scene where he had just put on a shirt and he was buttoning it up. He was standing in front of a mirror so as to maximize the view of his luxuriantly hairy chest (oddly, his chest in GG had only a bit of hair). It was a totally superfluous shot. And now we have the famous shower scene. Well, I prefer the shower scene in Breathless where Richard Gere gave us not only a full frontal but a full rear view too. Not to mention that the organ in question was in deep shadow and could have been mistaken for the shower door handle. And, to top it off, gorgeous Rosamund Pike was right there under the shower, her ripe curves set off by a coating of ... well, I don't want to go into too much detail here!
Front-Ranger:
Lat night, I watched again An Education. I was charmed to notice Rosamund Pike in a supporting role. I hadn't noticed her before, I was so entranced with the lead actor, Carey Mulligan.
Front-Ranger:

Has anyone seen Nightcrawler? It's been getting a ton of great reviews.
