Director: Peter Berg
His 9th movie
My 7th movie watched from the director
Peter Berg is determined to be a serious director, but he can't get out of derivative storytelling, dull writing, and can't deliver anything memorable. He got closest with "Lone Survivor", but I do appreciate him bringing American stories to light, even if they aren't spectacularly shown.
Added to Lists:
A Bad Day in the U.S.A
A name you undoubtably have heard, whether it's because of his comedy, his dancing, his acting, his singing, his USO tours, his radio shows, his TV specials, his Academy Award hosting, his charity fundraisers...
And this documentary sums all those things up pretty nicely in an effective way to show an enormous life.

Director: Marc Webb
His 5th movie
My 5th movie watched from the director
Jeff Bridges is his usual awesomeness in this story about a young adult from a rich family having trouble figuring out his family while hooking up with a wildly unrealistically beautiful woman who is the mistress of his father...
IT's got a great soundtrack and decent cinematography, direction and locations along with a nice twist at the end.

__________
Location: Upper West Side, Manhattan & Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, both in NYC, NY
Director: Danny Boyle
His 12th movie
My 14th movie watched from the director
It took me five years to see this movie I was waiting five years before the release, after hearing about its inception. Though not great, I would still say it's worth the wait. Boyle creatively positions its main characters in a position that makes sense twenty years later. There are thankfully plenty of Boyle's creative approaches to the scenes and story, but it lacked the innovation found in the original.

__________
Location: Edinburgh, Scotland, UK

This should have been Cars 2! It is actually a worthwhile sequel and makes total sense. It's fun, emotionally valid, and actually pays good tribute to Paul Newman, unlike "Cars 2" really lame and short version of one.
It's upsetting because this one is actually good and a lot of people probably didn't care to see it after hearing/knowing the weakness of the first sequel.
Director: Brett Morgen
His 7th movie
My 2nd movie watched from the director
Brett Morgen pulls off another very well made documentary about a very likable woman. So much of this relies on editing and research and because of that it's a win. He adds some effective style he known for and it doesn't seem out of place like some documentaries that have come out of late.
