Andrew Koltuniuk (770 KP) rated Silver Linings Playbook (2012) in Movies

A fascinating film. My emotions while watching it ranged from interested and watching with rapt attention, to being kind of bored with what was happening. I don't know if I would sit through it again, but I enjoyed the watch.

Not bad for the genre

Contains spoilers, click to show

I watched this as i am a fan of the genre and when i watch these sort of films i inadvertently end up comparing them to one of the best films of the genre, namely Seven. This is not a patch on that but it is worth watching. Al pacino as the retired cop is always the one to watch, but he is well supported by Karl Urban and Brittany Snow. The idea behind the film is a clever one and its done well though i can imagine a lot of people trying to figure out what the hangman word is and what it has to do with the film. None of this becomes apparent until the end five minutes and its a little convoluted. i would give this a watch if you like your serial killer films

Time for you to rewatch it!

Recently rewatching the original "The Godfather" with my son really supported again all the fame, longevity and praise the film has gotten over the years.

The movie does take its time telling its story of the daily life of the Corleone family and how the lives of the family interact with themselves and with stark contrast to the outside word, but the journey is worth the ride.

The characters are all so brilliantly, deeply written and acted, they are just a joy to watch. The cinematography is also a character in the film as it has such a unique look and feel, it transports you into their realm almost immediately.

If it has been awhile, time to give the film another viewing. If you haven't seen, shame on you and watch it now!!

What would I do without it

I love my Netflix, we don't pay for a TV licence and this is all we use. My child has no idea what an advert is and likes having their own profile. The recommendations are usually accurate and always changing. We recently went abroad and just downloaded a load of movies to watch on the tablet while we were away and had no data. Perfect for the rainy days. The only down side is I can spend ages trying to decide what to watch and have several things on my to watch list that I don't actually get around to watching. The new one episode a week thing is annoying too, as I can't binge as much as I want but still wouldn't get rid of it.

Acting at it's finest! (1 more)

A fantastic look into the life of one of the most remarkable people ever on this earth.

Fantastic.

Yes the movie can feel long when you are not in the right mood to watch it but seriously, get yourself into the mood to watch it (nice, calm afternoon cosy up the blanket with a cup of tea and some biscuits). It will make you laugh, cry, be angry, sad, elated, humbled, inspired and be in awe with the remarkable man that was Stephen Hawking (may he rest peacefully.)
It not only shows his amazing resilience but it also shows the effect on his family, particularly Jane Hawking. She seemed to be such an amazing, strong influential woman that definitely helped more than she knows in Professor Hawking's like and accomplishments.
Please watch this movie atleast once, it just goes to show that anything is possible.

Movie Favorite

"The movie that I always watch before doing just about any project — and certainly before doing this one — is called Nothing But A Man. It’s a classic film. Ivan Dixon played the lead character and it’s just about this black man trying to make his way through the world. But it’s a beautiful, beautiful film, and it breaks my heart every time I watch it. It’s just one of the most extraordinary movies I’ve ever seen. I was introduced to it by a friend of mine; I was doing a play — probably eight or nine years ago — and my friend, Aunjanue Ellis, who is an actress, put me on to it and I had not seen it before. Now I watch it all the time. It’s great – I think it was in the 1960s. Ivan Dixon and Abbey Lincoln -– it just was super. An incredible film."
