Saw Lincoln tonight. 9 out of 10. A great story...great acting. Deducting a point for 2 reasons. One, it drags at times. Two, there were some minor inaccuracies in the movie that bugged me.
FAR OVERRRRR, THE MISTY MOUNTAIN COLD... I guess whoever watched The Hobbit ends up humming that tune all the way back home. I thought it was good and it made me want to watch the LOTR trilogy again.
Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring - 7.5-8/10 Never got around to seeing the LOTR trilogy simply because I absolutely despise the fantasy genre, so it never appealed to me, despite the acclaim it's received. However, I was sick tonight, so I had a lot of time on my hands and figured what the heck. Ended up living up to the hype, even though the length was absolutely brutal. Glad I watched it and look forward to the 2nd and 3rd movies.
10 Years http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1715873/ 9/10 I really enjoyed this movie. Perfect date movie...
Shooting Creek - post civil war short film on netflix. I can see it being made in to a frature film. 8/10
Django Unchained - 9.4/10 Enjoyed every aspect of this movie and might be my favorite QT movie. Zero Dark Thirty - 6.0/10 Pretty average, nothing unique or groundbreaking. It felt like a documentary in movie form. Not to mention, is was sooooo slow. Only a single character was focused on and she wasn't very well developed. Not a huge fan of Hurt Locker, but that was better than this for me. Beast of the Southern Wild - 9.3/10 I really loved this movie, I hope the little girl wins best actress, she deserves it.
last theater movie was Haunted House. Waste of time and money Redboxed last night Ice age Continental drift and bourne legacy ice age best of those two but legacy not to bad ice age def has re-watch quality to it
This movie is seriously overrated IMO. 7/10. Hushpuppy has no business being nominated for Best Actress. A purely sentimental selection.
50/50 - 8/10 Really good movie, though pretty sad. Gives a light-hearted look at cancer, and I would highly recommend. Joseph Gordon Levitt is the man.
Salmon Fishing in the Yemen- 8/10 You got Obi-Wan and Emily Blunt with shots of amazing scenery. Pretty good film
Compliance - Disturbing little story. It seems really hard to believe but is pretty accurate to what happened in the real life. Really strong performances by Ann Dowd and Dreama Walker. - B+
L.A. Confidential - 8.5 out of 10 Watched it for 1st time since it came out, and barely remembered any of it. Great movie, marred by an unnecessary and unrealistic popcorn action flick shoot-em-up scene. Bordered on perfection aside from that.
So I finally saw Juno. I really enjoyed it. I thought the writing was clever, Emma Page was adorable with a little raw streak to her. If I had to ding it I would do so for the blatant selling of the Sonic Youth version of Superstar. I felt like I was watching that ad in Garden State for The Shins. No thanks. Still really enjoyed the film. Bonus 1/2 point goes to Juno having a Bad Religion crossbuster in her locker. 8.5/10
