Movies I Saw For the First Time in 2013 (50 movies items)

"A really enjoyable movie. Albert Brooks and Meryl Streep are perfect together. Rip Torn is fantastic as Brooks' defender. Really, if I had to choose one flaw, I'd say the score was a little overbearing at times. The better a movie is, the more nitpicky the complaint. It's just a really solid movie that just makes you feel good inside. "

Movies that make me hungry. (14 movies items)

"This movie interested me for one main reason- almost every scene involved food. The plot is after you die, you go to this after-life for a week or so to "defend" your life (so you can be reincarnated to a better life). While you are there, you get to eat pretty much whatever you want, too. This is the only pic I can find where they are eating, but they do eat a lot in this movie! "

"This is a great movie. Meryl Streep gives a really good performance, and I loved the concept of limbo being part of a bureaucracy. The court scenes are pretty good, and it manages to be really funny compared to other movies about the afterlife. "
