    Mr. Pink is a really intense guy in real life. We were all talking at a bar during brunch hour, and the bartender overheard us talking movies and said "I think Christopher Nolan is overrated." Me and Jayhawk just chuckle, go back to eating our waffles, like normal folks. But Pink jumps over the counter, grabs the guys head, knees him in the face, then smashes the bartenders head into the counter about ten times. He then threw down a ten on the table and walks out. We've never seen him again.

    Gonna be honest here: Whoever decided that casting Hailee Steinfeld as an awkward teenager was a good idea should be fired.  She's fucking gorgeous.

    My main problem with The Edge of Seventeen right there (although it's still a pretty good movie)

     

    Regardless of her attractiveness though and how much it doesn't work in the movie, she's definitely got the acting chops.

     

    Watched True Grit recently and she fully deserved that oscar nomination -- although I call bullshit on the supporting role

    Just finished Chef and... wow!

     

    I'm not the one for long reviews so I'll make it brief. Overall, I adored the relationship and bonding experiences between Favreau and his son. Acting was pretty good all around. The overall ambiance was great, and was accentuated by the music.

     

    But if there's one thing I love, it's a story of rising up from rock bottom. And this movie tackled that very well.

     

    9/10

     

     

     

    I have a feeling it was kind of a miss on the "rock bottom" part though. I mean, guy has an uber-rich and hot ex-wife who still likes him (although not loves him), and like those typical stories do he "just can't accept her money" because he has to do it himself. Nice safety net! Then he sets off on this journey after hitting that "rock bottom" which basically consists of quitting his job and getting humiliated in public -- let's not forget that his humiliation and the ensuing popularity it got him is what gave him the possibility of coming back in the first place since he was famous now. I mean, at some point he sure had it pretty bad but nothing I would call "Rock Bottom", especially with that safety net. 

     

    I also just can't help but feel things just go way toooo easy on him once his project starts. It's like he's living in this fairy tale world where if you put in some hard work and shift the momentum, everything will magically fall into place and your efforts will be rewarded, almost without limits (at least for him). 

     

    The whole story just felt forced to me. It was a nice movie overall with some pretty good performances, but that's all it was in my opinion. I'd give it a 7

    So to the people who have seen Chef ( @CJohn I assume), does Favreau's character's son just not go to school anymore?

     

    I didn't catch how he manages to balance that while working on the truck going across the country.

     

    I think it's because it happens in the summer. At least part of it.

     

    I distinctly remember this subject coming up at some point during the movie, and his dad wants him to go back to school, and then agrees for him to work on the week-ends with 1 condition, which I forgot.

     

    Or something like that.
