Bits and Bobs...Movies I've Seen...
~George Clooney realized he would need someone to remind him to take his medicine so he got (allegedly) engaged to his girlfriend of six-months international lawyer 36-year old Amal Alamuddin. This is Clooney’s second marriage…well it will be if he makes it down the aisle. I’m taking bets on if it’ll happen or not. If she’s expecting a little

Belle sounds like a very interesting movie. I've never seen a film that deals with the topic from that angle. Mbatha-Raw is a knockout and Penelope Wilton regularly steals scenes in every UK drama she turns up in.
That's terrible Hardy was getting harassed over Bane. Very rude. I thought the fanboys loved the Nolan movies?

She's so wonderful. It's a great role for her.

It was very rude and very embarassing. The scene the fanboys kept taking the piss out of was an opening sky-jacking scene. For some reason they hated on it big time and decided to mock the scene adnaseum on the AMA. That's really all they did---hundreds of comments about that scene and how clunky it was and what did Bane mean and how terrible Aiden Gillen was in it.
The AMA organizer said she was trying to schedule another one but I don't think Tom would do that again. He's a sensitive sort.

But then the movie blew up into some failed Jacobean Tragedy. I kept trying to figure out how that happened and then I realized that Leonardo DiCaprio was one of the producers. This was his movie script until he decided not to do it and gave it to Christian Bale. DiCaprio's movies always have to have some momentous moment in them that will impress the Oscar voters. DiCaprio just can't do quiet, understated movies that capture real moments and characters like What is Bugging Gilbert Grape? anymore. Like Mr. Depp and his costumes and makeup, Mr. DiCaprio has to have his ( ... )

Woody is just as talented as McConaughey but like you said, underrated. I guess it's because McConaughey seems more of a character and lives his life in the public eye whereas Woody works and let the work speak for itself and himself. He doesn't go to events or is a red carpet fixture.
He's so far and away now from Woody on "Cheers".
Will DiCaprio ever give another performance equal to that in Gilbert Grape? Not in the movies that he appears in now.Never. And it's sad and a waste. I think anything everything "The Beach" is where Leo became Proficient Technical Actor. He can recite his lines and hit his marks, but have real moments? What is that which you speak of? He just makes his movies with Marty and does ( ... )

And other than "Man of Steel" and "300", Snyder's films don't perform that well at the box office so that studios would think he's a good bet. I just don't get it.
I've heard from a few people that they prefer how Captain America was handled as a straight-arrow type hero dealing with 21st RL complexities in The Winter Soldier over what was done with Superman in the last Superman movie (which I didn't see). Cappy 1 and Cappy 2 to me are anamolies in the comic book film genre. They're essentially regular genre films (the first one being a war film, Winter Soldier a cold war/spy film) but with a comic book character at the front of it. Nearly all comic book movies are about the characters chasing Macguffin and some conflict between the villian. If you take out the fact that Steve Rogers is a comic book ( ... )
