Movies
I don’t usually include movies in my posts, but this is Monday Miscellany and it’s summer and I’ve seen a few movies I feel like commenting on.
***** The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel gets my high five. I loved the story and I always love Judi Dench, Bill Nighy and Maggie Smith. I laughed. I teared up. I left wanting more. That to me is a good movie.
** Lincoln not so much. And I adore Daniel Day Lewis. His performance was, of course, excellent, but the movie dragged and dragged. I got a refresher course on the passing of the 13th Amendment, so that helped keep my interest. I was really disappointed in Tommy Lee Jones and he’s another favorite of mine.
I've got to watch The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, I haven't yet.
Congrats to Marta.
Congrats to Marta! Sounds like an interesting book. I haven't seen the first movie- but I saw Lincoln. It was good, but could have been a bit shorter. 🙂

I haven't seen either of the movies. Must get out more. 🙁
The book looks interesting. Thanks for telling us about it.
I know I'm late.. going to tweet about Marta now:)
I haven't seen either of those movies, but I like your comments. The Lincoln trailer never caught my interest, but the Marigold Hotel one did.
Thanks for shouting out about W4WS! Marta's book was fantastic.
I haven't been to a movie since November, but in 2 weeks I'm putting the ELF in parents night out and going. Ha!
Rejoice! Yes, I'm here at almost two in the morning. Bonus points or a cookie is in order.
Yay to Marta and yay to you, Lee. I'm starstruck knowing such folks as you and now, Marta. Because I'm so lovable, I shall tweet this and yep, even post this on 'Farcebook'!
My favourite movies, yes, that's the proper spelling of "favourite", are "Bambi Meets Godzilla!" and "The Adventures of a Blog Hopper".
That's an interesting question in the book's blurb.
I had to delete several movies that dragged from my DVR. Just like with a book, I want to get to the meat of the story.
I haven't seen either movie, so I can't chime in.
Best of luck to Marta!
MARIGOLD was my fave film last year along with SALMONG FISHING IN THE YEMEN with Ewan McGregor and Emily Blunt.
MARIGOLD is, by the way, getting a sequel, since it was an unexpected international blockbuster 🙂
I tweeted for Marta.
Confession time: I'm not a movie person… I prefer reading.

Ooops, got carried away today and forgot about the W4W today. Gonna tweet this.
I want to see the Marigold movie. Sounds right up my alley.
Yay for Marta. I hope W4WS gives her a nice big shove up the charts.
I LOVED The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel! Haven't seen Lincoln yet, it's on my Netflix list.
I haven't seen either movie. Now I want to see the hotel one. Thanks!
I haven't seen either movie. I want to see Lincoln, but now I'm not so sure.
Thank you for your support with W4Ws <3
Gosh, my 'movie-watching' is seriously lacking these days. 🙁 I like Judi Dench and Maggie Smith so I'll definitely keep an eye on this one. 🙂
Oooh nice! heading over to twitter right now ! 🙂
I don't watch a ton of movies but I did like Lincoln.
I guess this is where I admit I'm terribly selective in my movie watching, and we banned TV. We're a household of readers. *shrugs* (And occasionally follow a TV series from online.)
I featured Marta today, too.
I recorded The Best Exotic marigold Hotel from tv weeks ago but haven't watched it yet- I better get to it!
OMGosh! I'm so glad you reminded me about this. *rushes over to tweet the heck out of W4WS!!!!! Thanks!
Already done some W4WS tweeting, and snagged a book to boot! 🙂
I haven't seen Lincoln yet. Which is weird for me, because I'm a big movie watcher. (I saw almost every Oscar favorite EXCEPT for Lincoln, in fact.)
I've heard exactly what you said: it drags. However, I think I really lost interest when I read they'd changed so many historical facts for the sake of dramatization. As a devout history nerd, that doesn't sit well with me, even when I know Hollywood will take allowances. I just think there are some events and historical figures that do not need to be embellished.
I did see Superman over the weekend, and it was awesome! Definitely doesn't drag. lol
I haven't seen either movie. So far, been a bit of a movie-watching-fail for a while lol!
Got to get in on some tweets for showing my author support!
Interesting reviews. I'm still to see both those movies.
Off to tweet for Marta!
Going to twitter to send out info for Marta as well.
Already been sending out Tweets for Marta.
Lincoln was slow, but I enjoyed it.
