I liked Guardians of the Galaxy, but Chef had no plot or conflict - I get that that was the point, but it didn't do enough for me to justify it. I mean, I like food porn as much as the next guy, but that was kinda all it had going for it IMO.

Sometimes a movie that isn't reaching for the sky and just wants to tell a simple story with some good acting and beautiful food is perfectly fine. I had fun with the movie while also realizing that the story was a cut and paste, pull at your heartstrings deal. The charm outweighed the story faults.

I've caught up on a few recent releases in the past week.



Guardians of the Galaxy
Great mix of humor, action and eye candy. Pure entertainment. Loved it.




Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
I unfortunately saw this in a theater with a really annoying audience, but nevertheless I came away from the experience thinking it was a great movie. Considering the circumstances I watched it under, it must really be quite good to have kept me interested. Definitely a worthy follow up to the previous movie.




Boyhood
Just saw this tonight and was completely blown away by it. A totally unique movie experience and yet another fantastic effort from Richard Linklater. I love that guy.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes MIGHT be my favorite movie of the year. I still think about it and I saw it a month ago.

The Birdcage

Absolutely love this movie. I had no idea it existed until Netflix threw it in my face multiple times, but it was a very fun movie to watch. Both Robin and Nathan Lane played a fantastic gay couple, even if Nathan Lane's character was a bit over the top in some scenes. Overall, a good movie.
