Not her :/
Would've loved to had seen this one in the theaters, though, just for the audience reactions alone. |

To be fair though, why complain about more Tolkien on the big screen?
Granted they cut out the parts that were not necessary again. Which is why I like the film adaptations more than the books sometimes, which always feel bloated.
I don't know, I mean three movies instead of two might be stretching it, but I am curious to see what else they mine out of the appendices to add in. _________________

| I went to a midnight showing of The Hobbit last week and saw it in the high-framerate 3D. I’m a pretty harsh critic, but I thought it was great and I feel that most all of the criticism it has received is undeserved and just plain wrong. I think trashing The Hobbit is just the “in” thing to do right now, just like it was “in” earlier this year to trash on ME3. The 48fps 3D was amazing too and everyone should go see it just for that experience alone. My only complaint is that they used too much of the score from LotR. I would have preferred that they went almost entirely with original music. I need to see it again in 2D to really decide, but as it stands now it rivals my favorite LotR movie (Fellowship). |

| Very true. He was kind of funny in the stands occasionally though. Weird that he wrote himself such a bad character. |

Just saw Lincoln. Would've preferred to see the hobbit, but I didn't have that much time.
Pretty good flick - loved seeing old US, and the opening war scene was cray. yup cray.
Performances were great all around, but I would've liked to see or not see rather - SPOILER ALERT
Lincoln dead in his bed. They should've ended it when his silhouette walks off to go to the play.
Just my two cents - other than that, my honest opinion - 4.5/5 - _________________

I was worried that a small book (compared to LOTR) would be a disaster as a trilogy but we're getting more than just The Hobbit. Jackson has also adapted The Appendices (more Middle Earth prequel stuff that ties into The Hobbit timeline) that should make for an epic, action packed conclusion. Or it could be a bloated mess, but seeing how amazing An Unexpected Journey was, I doubt that. _________________

Django Unchained.
The first 3/4ths of the movie was absolutely fantastic. And then they had the characters act like idiots, which prompted a really ridiculous gunfight that sorta killed the feel they were going for.
Still a great movie, though. _________________

Watched The Fountain. I enjoyed it. Wasn't spectacular or anything, but I really enjoyed it (the cinematography was out of this world though). I have only seen parts of the Wrestler (which I enjoyed), and I haven't seen his other movies.
Won't watch it again, but I certainly don't regret watching it. _________________ NATURE! - Goulet |

Django
Jenna basically said what Longo said and I agreed. Also the hip hop pieces of soundtrack detracted from the rest of the great score. _________________

Just watched Dredd for the first time. Pleasantly surprised. Especially when the pretty little blonde girl started executing people without flinching. Weirdest boner.
Also, i like karl urban for some reason. Might have something to do with the fact that he insisted on riding the bike for the chase sequences, despite it being barely functional and he being a kiwi bro. _________________

Django Unchained.
Oh my god this movie made me laugh a lot and also curl up and cover my ears and eyes. And and and. How the hell was that movie rated 14A?
I mostly agree with what's been said here. I agree there's a separation between the last bit and the rest of the movie, but I don't think it necessarily degraded or otherwise broke down the movie. I think it worked well enough together. It did seem a little... not sure... almost like unnecessary? Unimportant, in a way.
I was pleasantly surprised, not that I'm very familiar with Tarantino stuff (so I'm sure my words are all bullshit). I didn't think I would find so much of it amusing and interesting. I don't think my friends thought that I would, either. Apparently it's really entertaining when I enjoy a movie. _________________ I sprinkle sand into the waters of night.

Decent little flick. The brits know how to make gritty dramas. They do it well. _________________

The Journey of Natty Gann
Basically, it's like an entire book made into a movie. There's so many sets, scenes and easy-come-easy-goes that the movie is a pretty realistic depiction of real life. The moral of the story is wolves are cool, and so are you if you would do anything for the people you love/have helped you. _________________
