The Company You Keep 2013

★★½

A great film about the renegades of an underground protest group from the 70's who are in hiding due to a killing of a bank guard at a hold up. Redford gets some great performances from his cast Julie Christie, Susan Sarandon, Nick Nolte and Richard Jeankins ....the one important role so miscast was Shia Labeouf....annoying little shit who just whines and pouts through 2 hours of complicated drama.

The Guilt Trip 2012

★★½

Typical stereotype of the meddling Jewish Mom played by Streisand to son Rogen. The chemistry with the two is actually sweet and their are some sweet and tender moments. It has been done many times and it is good to see Streisand back on screen. I personally think one of Streisands biggest strengths is her comic timing ( WHAT"S UP DOC will prove me right with that all the time). Okay if u want light and fluffy...if not watch Pineapple Express.
