Sunset Song (2015)
I like it
I went into the movie not knowing anything about the book, the model or what should have been the proper soldiers dress. I also don't know a good accent from a bad one when it comes to Scottish.
I felt the movie was gorgeous but some scenes were dragged out too long, especially closer to the end. I felt the actress was believable and saw the characters personality was much like the film itself, slow moving and deliberate with few outbursts but when they happened they were believable.
I didn't understand the husband. Why not slog through it rather than become an a-hole? but I guess he was determined. To me this was stupid and the wife should have been angry, then forgiving, rather than understanding.
The story was a view into what it may have been like back then helping me to see real people in real tough situations but who also had God and nature to nurture them.
It is the beauty of the film that has stuck with me. I didn't know Scotland was that gorgeous.
Life in Pieces (2015)
It's good
This show is great to watch just to have a laugh after a long day of work. Settle down with your dinner and put your feet up. Though the show is short feeling, the laughs make it worth it.
I love this show and the characters funny moments are totally relate-able. Colin Hanks is getting better and better and his comedic timing is perfect, like his Dad. He and the wife are very funny as are the other family members, especially the brother in law.
The only drawback to this show is Diane Weiss (sp?) She has a mousy voice and character which I find grates on my nerves.
Overall, it's just a nice comedy that doesn't strain your brain with all kinds of chaos like so many comedies out there.
