Chef

I watched this flick yesterday after reading many good reviews.

The movie stars Jon Favreau who has also written, co-produced and directed the film. It is about a Chef who works in a restaurant. He is divorced with a son and dating the hostess (Scarlett Johansson) at the restaurant. On one of the days a reviewer (Oliver Pratt) comes to the restaurant to review the food and even though Chef wants to cook him something new and different, the owner of the restaurant (Dustin Hoffman) asks him to stick to what is popular, tried and tested. Of course, he gets a bad review and manages to start a fight with the reviewer on twitter which leads to his yelling at him in the restaurant. He is fired and becomes a youtube sensation, not in a good way.

Her

After reading the awesome reviews, I watched the movie in 2 parts- 1 hour yesterday and 1 hour today.

It stars as Joaquin Phoenix as Theodore and Scarlette Johansson as his love interest (or rather just her voice).
I like how imaginative Hollywood movies can be... and yet some of them take things too far.
Her is one such movie. It is set in 2025.
