SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK * LIFE OF PI

Silver Linings Playbook - Just go see it.  Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Robert DeNiro and a cast of others in a love story in all directions.  A good tale made into a better movie, and somehow told from different perspectives.  Each one is watchable and engaging.  This is my very favorite movie in a long time.  Usually movies spend the best part of the movie doing the build up, and then the audience waits to see what happens, sometimes knowing exactly what's going to happen.  In this movie, every scene is great, and the movie keeps getting better all the way to the end. 

Life of Pi - The thing about Life of Pi, either about the book or movie, is that you get to choose to believe or not believe or simply wonder either way whether it really happened as Pi described.  To bring this story to the movie screen with Richard Parker in all his wild glory is an amazing and beautiful thing.  Kudos to the moviemakers.  Here's a true contender for best movie.
