Movies: Hail, Caesar!
Feb. 23rd, 2016 01:33 amIs this only the third movie I've been to this year? Seems like I'm forgetting something, but maybe not.
Hail Caesar - weird little movie, even by Coen Brothers standards. If you haven't seen a lot of '50s movies, don't bother - meaning this is mostly a movie for us old people. :) I liked it, but I wanted to like it more than I actually did. The movie sendups are great. The cast is awesome - although some of the people in the trailers, like Jonah Hill, are barely in it. (We were wondering if there's going to be a much-longer director's cut later.) And I kept waiting for more plot than it actually had. You definitely want to see this if you're an old-movie fan, though.
Better go soon if you want to see it in a theater, though. It didn't make any money at all. There were 4 people including us in the theater when we saw it - Sunday night is not prime moviegoing time, granted, but still...
