The Drop

Not bad I guess. But damn is it boring and uneventful.

Hector and the Search for Happiness

Similar life journey plot as Walter Smitty, but with character stories and interactions. Liked it more. Didn't hurt that I absolutely love Rosamund Pike.

Time travel. The confusion with me is the existence of Doubles from the past/future. Whatever. Thanks. Now I need to watch it again. :-)

I thought The Drop was very well done. Definitely not every ones taste however.

Just have to say again how awesome Captain America: The Winter Soldier is... I'm on my fourth overall viewing right now, the last three on Starz, and man this movie is RIGHT there with The Dark Knight IMO.

Its definitely a gold standard in hero movies, God bless Starz for FINALLY buying the rights to movie thats worth a damn... swear I was sooo close to canceling that part of my cable plan, Encore and Starz almost never have anything good anymore, big waste of money most of the time.

Watched the first hobbit movie. It definitely wasn't as good as good as the lotr trilogy. Weaker plot and characters and more limited in overall scope.

The cgi is a good bit over the top. Especially with what they were able to do with lotr. It's a little too much goofiness too. Almost a little star wars prequel, but nowhere near that bad. Just a little disappointing considering how good lotr was.

I agree. That was one of those movies that I specifically went to see in a theater. I took my teenagers to it, and two of their friends. We all enjoyed it. Just a fun family movie. Pretty much exactly what I expected from The Lone Ranger.

Just finished A Walk Among the Tombstone. Kinda drugged on towards the end.



Going to start Lawless in a few hours

Couldnt agree more, hard to understand why it bombed.

Lone Ranger was a fantastic piece of film IMO, a rousing adventure right up there in Indiana Jones territory.

Lawless is good shit, despite Shia LeDouche. Hardy is outstanding. The story is really good. The period stuff is awesome.

Lawless is outstanding; fantastic story.

I finally watched The Station Agent. Peter Dinklage was great, just like normal. Bobby Cannavale and Patricia Clarkson also gave strong performances, but the script was the real winner. The dialog was outstanding. Thomas McCarthy wrote a great movie, now I want to watch Win Win and The Visitor.

The Desolation of Smaug was respectable. The whole Elf/Oarc exchange though was horrible. So much cheese. Terrible. And you'd think after the Oarcs get their asses beat so bad, so often, they'd change tactics and train to be a little better. At least by the 3rd LOTR.

Smaug was pretty awesome though. If the movie didn't have Smaug in it, it would be a wet fart.

Somebody recently made a no-bullshit cut of the Hobbit movies that I want to see, with the garbage like Legolas jumping on dwarf heads while he shoots orcs cut out.
