Steve’s First Rankings of 2013: Star Trek Into Darkness, Iron Man 3, Mud, and Place Beyond the Pines

Posted on May 17, 2013 by Life at the Rail

trekIt took me until the end of April to see my first 2013 movie, but now I’ve seen four in two weeks. That’s enough to start my 2013 Rankings page. Check out what I have to say about Star Trek Into Darkness, Iron Man 3, Mud, and The Place Beyond the Pines.

  • About Our Blog

    Welcome to I’ve Seen That Movie, Too. We started this blog because we love movies. We love that moment when you mention a movie that you feel strongly about and you hear the reply, “I’ve seen that movie” and the conversation takes flight from there. We’ve enjoyed many of those conversations together and decided to share the experience with others.

    The title of the blog reflects that sense of shared experience. You may recognize it also as the title of an Elton John song. The song isn’t really about movies. It is about a relationship and that is appropriate for our blog.

    What makes a movie great? Certainly directing and acting are important, as are cinematography and (sometimes) special effects, but what truly makes a movie great is its ability to tell a story and relationships are at the heart of every good story. We’ll discuss all aspects of the movie experience, but the heart of the discussion will focus on relationships. We are both pastors, one in Montana and one in Illinois, so we’ll ponder not simply the human relationships, but also what the movies reveal about our relationship with God.

    Along the way, we’ll offer both Recommendations and Reflections. The Recommendations will offer our encouragement for you to see a movie that you may not have seen and will therefore not include any spoilers. The Reflections will be a fuller discussion for those who have already seen a movie and will thus include many spoilers, so take that into account before reading a Reflection if you haven’t yet seen a movie and don’t want any surprises ruined for you.

    As often as possible we will both offer our reflections on a movie, so that our give and take can fuel the conversation, but there are times when our tastes in movies don’t coincide, so, in those cases only one of us will offer the reflection. We then invite you to join in the conversation.

    Steve and Bill
