Zero Dark 30

Last 30 minutes = 7.2/10

Rest of the movie = 4.8/10

Overhyped, 4 sho.

Blue Velvet

forgot how good this is,gotta be one of the now sadly missed dennis hoppers best roles! and isabella rossellini,-i,d hit that!

Safety Not Guaranteed - At first, I thought it was an honest to god parody of Wes Anderson. Then, I realized, it's just another of the 30,000,000 Wes Anderson clones. Boring beyond redemption.

I'd like to some day start a thread where those of us who can't stand these types of movies can warn one another. I was told by several people that Safety Not Guaranteed was good. The critics kinda liked it, too. I went in without any clues or warnings as to its indie, hip, quirky, oddball, goody, sweet, endearing qualities.

Alas, I did see on the cover, "From the producers of Little Miss Sunshine!"

What the fuck was I thinking? Maybe I knew I would hate it but couldn't stop myself from trying to fit in. Whatever the case, I failed and so did this movie.

It's kinda unfortunate because portions of the plot/premise were intriguing. Yet the writers went Full Retard with their depiction of the main guy. He was like a hybrid of Max Fischer from Rushmore and Lars from Lars and the Real Girl.

hate to say i told you so...

Sort of made me feel proud to be white and affluent.

Didn't some critics openly laugh at it when it premiered?

Elf

LOVE IT. watched it twice this weekend.

Bad Santa

love it

The Raid: Redemption

I mean there was some good fighting and a few wooooah moments but overall not much to say about this one. overhyped. dud has quick hands. are the fights sped up at all or does dude move that fast for real?

Yes.

Yes.

Downloading Gremlins now, because it's one of the all-time great fucked up Christmas movies.

oh man forgot gremlins!

Scrooged and Gremlins are pretty are my go-to Christmas movies

i wish there was a film called "Gremlins are pretty"

I watched The Hobbit the other day 3D 48fps.

I loved Lord of the Rings.

I was unimpressed by this new one, it was slow and too vanilla cos its a 12 rating.

Martin Freeman annoys me he's not engaging enough.

The 48fps is good a little weird though sometimes its like looking at live tv.

forgot about gremlins! will watch tonight and then "a christmas story"

we're gonna do gremlins and home alone and maybe elf again

Just dl'd Gremlins and Gremlins 2: The New Batch.

I remember the sequel sucking though. Can anybody confirm?

the sequel is one of the most over the top movies ever made, totally different in tone from part 1. If you can appreciate it for what it is, almost a parody movie movie wrapped in a Gremlins sequel basically the ultimate Joe Dante film (not the best, but probably his highest budget blow out).

and it's not an xmas film

yepp watched elf twice this year.

gremlins 2 is hilarious, watched it again earlier in the year

Django Unchained - Yeah it was allright, a little long and bit dull in parts. Samuel Jackson was the best thing about the movie. 9/10

I watched 'Anti-Christ' last night. Nothing like genital mutilation as I awaited Santa's arrival.

Ted - Watched this last night and we all lol'd pretty non-stop up until the last 10 or so weirdly useless minutes of it. Without the stack of epilogues, it was a solid classic R-rated comedy.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 9/10

the hobbit: 7.5/10. not bad, just no lotr. also i really had to pee through the whole thing but i was sitting in the middle of the row and couldn't get out and it kept cutting to waterfalls.

oh also the 48 fps ultramax widescreen 3d doodah looked like a telenovela for the first 20 minutes of the movie but then after a while it became unnoticeable. not bad.

Elf - yes it's become a classic Xmas/10

Safe House - Crap/10

White Christmas - I love it for its retro cheesiness, 9/10
