Wow that must have been amazing!

Watched Chinese Zodiac 2012 . It was good, been waiting to see this one a while. Great Jackie Chan action. I really do appreciate his films.

Oz, The Great and Powerful was. . .great and powerful lol. I usually hate on James Franco for being such a stoner, but I actually didn't mind him in this as a wiley magician/wizard. Also major props to Sam Raimi for creating/fleshing out some very interesting characters and the world of Oz. It's not a perfect film, but surely worth a watch.

That is surprising! I've been reading reviews and they've been mostly lukewarm to bad. Will probably check this out when it comes to bu ray

Watched half an hour of ABCs of Death, I don't think I'm going to finish it, it's awful. All the stories are either stupid or overly weird.

Hart's War 3.25/5
- Overdramatic, wasted potential. Paints the Nazi's too favorably as well.

I liked Oz. It seems like most of the critics are book snobs, where if something isn't adapted directly word by word from the book it's horrible.

Dead Man Down was really good. Some of the trailers make it look like a full blown action movie though, it's has some scenes but don't go in expecting Die Hard. More story based. Good stuff.

Project X. Like seeing a train wreck in slow motion. You know it's terrible yet you can't stop watching.

Just saw Tiny Furniture. Lena Dunham is very talented.

Jack The Giant Slayer - It was alright. I was entertained enough.

The Master.

Great acting, but little else IMO.

Of course.

I'm guessing you're talking about the 2012 Project X and not the 1980s one with Matthew Broderick, which I thought was pretty decent?

Finally saw Brave. Not my favorite Pixar, but at least the movie wasn't about yet another princess finding/looking for her prince in an unlikely place.

The Man with the Iron Fists

It wasn't very good..

RZA isn't the next Scorsese?

I don't know why this movie got so much love. It started off good and had a (more) powerful female lead and then it turned into 45 minutes of slap-sticky bullshit.

Agreed, 2 of the strongest performances of the year in Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix. I'd add that I also liked the cinematography as well but everything else about the movie just bored me to tears.

Looper

Finally, not quite what I expected but very good.

Yes.

From what I've read, it was a hit with the children's demographic, not so much with adults. Lack of emotional depth and all that.

Yeah, Brave is down there with Cars 2 for me. Merida's technologically-advanced hair didn't help with the storyline.

Oz was ok, probably wouldn't bother watching it again. There were tons of little nods to what happens later with Dorothy and all, some of it I didn't even catch until after the movie.
