Good movie but what's with the ending? It's like they just ran out of script and stopped filming. Gina Gershon's bush is epic.
 
Lincoln was sooooooooooooooooooooooooo boring. Usually I love those types of movies, but I couldn't deal with this one. DD Lewis is awesome, but he didn't really draw me into Lincoln (and he's one of my fav. actors).

Bourne Legacy was slightly better..... but not entertaining either. 80% of the movie is trying to outrun "them" but I guess that's how all the other movies were.
 
The Guilt Trip.

It is exactly what you expect it to be. Clean humour. Funny bits here and there. Good rental/download.
Funny bloopers in the credits. Something you can watch with your folks without cringing about what will be said next.

I watched this movie last night and I was a little disappointed with the ending.
Didn't mind it otherwise...

Just setting it up for what's to come. It's the same ending to every franchise-type film these days. Still entertaining.

"The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" - As a fan of Tolkien's works since I was a kid I enjoyed it, but not as much as the "Lord of the Rings" series. The reason is pretty simple. When Jackson did the "Lord of the Rings" series his vision of that world was almost exactly like mine. When reading "The Hobbit" I envisioned a much smaller (no pun intended) world, wherein the main character sees the world in much larger terms as the story progresses. In this first of three movies Jackson went for epic feel. Everything is huge, right from the get-go. Epic battles, massive scenery, the lot. It doesn't fit.

The scenes that he inserted, that weren't actually in the book, tend to work because they show what was hinted at going on, behind the scenes. The recurring villain is an odd addition but OK, whatever.

Someone who never read the book, unlike me, would likely like it better.

I feel the same about it as you. Enjoyed it, not super thrilled about the additions and changes to the story, but I guess its something they have to do in order to stretch the whole thing out to 9 hours.

Really really hated it in 48 fps, everything looked like prop pieces. Much much more enjoyable in standard format where it actually looked like a movie and not a BBC production.
 
I think his mistake is he should have made the Hobbit first and then go big with LotR.

Because we've all seen the massive scale battles/scenery in Lord of the Rings, the Hobbit is tiny and uninteresting to a lot of people.

I didn't mind it in 48fps. It gave it the look of a really good HD TV. The one thing that did annoy me about the frame rate though, is that it seemed to make my eyes water. I've never had that happen at any 3D movie, nor when watching any HD TV. Strange.

And therein lies the mistake. He could have done an interesting and enjoyable movie, without going epic. Yes, it likely would have been a better idea to do the first, introductory book prior to doing the trilogy, but that doesn't preclude doing a nice, smaller scope movie afterwards. When you have a good story, and he most certainly started with one, you don't need the crutch of heavy special effects to support it.
 
I read the hobbit first and then LOTR. I enjoyed hobbit more. The story is fine, but if you try to make it like LOTR then it's destined to fail. Two different stories and they should be told differently. Haven't seen the hobbit yet.

Then let me ask you this: After reading "The Hobbit", how did you picture the goblin caves?

To be honest, I don't remember. Read it when I was 14 lol. I always imagined goblins as ogres.

Well goblins, in Tolkien's books, are supposed to be little gangly, sinewy guys somewhere on par with dwarves in size (smaller than humans). From that point of view, the movie wasn't that far off. Putting them in halls that wouldn't have looked out of place in Moria was a huge bloody mistake, to me, because the book gave me a feeling that the goblin caves were close, fetid, and claustrophobic in keeping with their residents.

Agree 100%. Now less likely to watch the movie until it becomes a rent
 
Watched Les Miserables on xmas day. Totally worth every cent. All of the cast did an amazing job and the story was so beautifully portrayed. If I had an ounce of humanity I might've shed a tear. Only down part was Russell crowe's singing but he did an amazing job none the less.
 
Resident Evil: Retribution

I'm a big fan of the action movie, always have been, but even watching Mistress Milla wire-fight her way through 90 minutes in her best bondage gear and platforms starts to wear on you when there's absolutely no story.
