Just finished watching "Boyhood". Wonderful movie. The moment rules.

Would love to watch it twice, three times...but I don't want to watch a movie more than once. Life is too short for that one. I highly recommend. Can't stand Costner. Sort of the bill o'reilly of Hollywood, in my humble opinion. Seen too many by him, and they all pretty much are the same.

anyone could have played his part... it is the boys and the story about them that makes this a winner... sure, it is not an artsy-fartsy movie, just solid, even if playing on emotions

I've yet to see Boyhood... my partner did and he didn't like it (maybe that means I will )

I'm sometimes a bit too focused on what I DON'T like, so hope I can look past Costner being in it. Maybe "Boyhood" is more about watching those times pass again, and seeing what it was like raising my kids and coming out the other end.

I've learned long ago, one man's junk is another man's treasure, and visa versa.
