I watched "In Bloom" at my local art house theatre. It is a Georgian film in Georgian with English subtitles, set in 1992 and filmed in Georgia. It is a coming-of-age story of two 14-year-old girls in the context of the post-Soviet destabilization in that country. Very good.

Just saw Monument Men last night. I found the performances by such an all star cast to be very disappointing with the exception of Cate Blanchett, she lent credibility to the fact this was all based on a true story.

Matt Damon was dry, Clooney simply irritatedly arrogant. However, Bill Murray did a good job playing a serious character, comedy comes so natural to him, Goodman was dry. The script was horrendous so I suppose everyone didn't have much to work with....lines like: "but I like the tie..." Matt Damon played like he was in a SNL Skit.

Visually, they did a great job, the sets were fabulous, as was the breathtaking on-location shoot up in the Bavarian Alps. However, the patronizing of the German solders were unnecessary to the film. And the numbers were way off, ie: "the Russians lost 20 million people in the war"....figures put that number closer to 60 million.

If you go see this for Historical value, be prepared for American War Propaganda Machine, and for unrealistic battlefront scenes, ie: Battle of the Bulge. They shot this like a episode of MASH at the very end of the Korean War, complete with Cheese and Crackers from home. Maybe this all male cast with the exception of Cate, would be more at home with a "Last Vegas" sequel...
It had potential but was amateurishly directed by Clooney himself. The script was simplistic. Could have been better. I will not see it again. Compared to The Train which I have seen at least ten times and watch again when it airs on TCM.

I should have gone see the Lego film. My wife wanted to but I said Nooo, WW2 and all that.
