Burnt
Sunday, January 31, 2016
Watched Burnt last night. Usually I see all my Bradley Cooper movies at the theater, but somehow I missed this one!
It was a'ight. Basic element of film- caring about the characters. I don't feel like I ever really came to care much about Bradley Cooper's character. He is an angry, perfectionist chef whose life goal is to get a three star Michelin rating. Not a lot to like about the guy really, which is fine, but you have to have some sort of sympathy for the character, and I didn't. His relationships were all lukewarm and he was just very one-dimensional. I blame the writing, because the actors were all fabulous!
In other news, I've made a browser change to Chrome on my Mac. Never thought I would say that, but it's true. So, Google and Apple can actually work together! AND... Chrome works especially well for Blogger, as is probably expected.
