Somali OstrichThe worst thing...is not energy depletion, economic collapse, conventional war, or the expansion of totalitarian governments. As terrible as these catastrophes would be for us, they can be repaired in a few generations. The one process now going on that will take millions of years to correct is loss of genetic and species diversity by the destruction of natural habitats.

Les Mis. I was indeed miserable through the whole movie. It sucked. My humble opinion.
This last weekend we watched "Taken 2". It was not my choice, I thought the first one was good but I'm not much for sequels. Well to my amazement, it was freaking great, so much so that it kept me a the edge of my seat, at one point my partner even told me to relax a bit, but I could not. They set up the story quite well and quickly, the action began and it was great, Liam Neeson was great in it and sexy, was produced by Luc Beeson and the best part it was around 90 minutes. Go see it.

Private Romeo. I appreciate the attempt to adapt it to a different setting but I feel, if they were gonna go for a military theme... it would have worked better if set during an actual war.
Still, cute boys espousing Shakespeare is never really a bad thing.

Les Miserables - epic and powerful stuff. Brave film making. Anne Hathaway's rendition of 'I Dreamed A Dream' will go down history. Amazing!
django, gotta admit i REALLY loved it. it was really a fun epic movie imho
Watched "On the Town" (1949) last night with Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, Ann Miller, Vera-Ellen. Remarkable movie musical. I remember seeing it for the first time on the late late show when I was young and thought it was incredible.

Silver Linings playbook
Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012) a lush fable about courage. I liked it, though I think it's a few steps short of being a Malick film, to which many have justifiably compared it. Many viewers seem to hate it.

It was a good gay coming of age story.
“And so it goes. And so it goes. And so it goes."
Last weekend we saw a movie called "Butter" we read about it and thought it would be interesting, it turn out to be an almost perfect movie, Jennifer Garner is great as a crazy bitch, but the whole cast was great and the story is just so touching in so many ways. We also saw "Looper" it was great, well crafted and well acted, that said, it was also very confusing but in a good way, because it keeps you interested and then you realize that you most buy the dvd so you can see it over and over until you figure it all out. I tend to like this sort of films, I called them my go to collection because regardless that you know what is going to happen, they don't shove it in your face and I find it interesting to try and figure it out for myself.
Remains of the Day
Clue......
Saw it last night, and I agree with you. Quentin's movies are hit and miss with me, but this one was a big hit. The movie felt like what you would get if you crossed Kill Bill with Blazing Saddles. And Samuel Jackson was kick ass as usual. Leonardo was exceptional too.

I liked it, but it was easy to guess how the movie would go.

Last weekend we watched "The Talented Mr. Ripley" again, it had been a long time. It was once again amazing! Matt Damon is superb as the psycho main character and he looks absolutely edible in those green square cut bathing suit, that leaves very little to the imagination. Jude Law is so beautiful you almost want to lick the tv and Gwyneth Paltrow and Cate Blanchet are also fantastic. You go and see it now, there are also a lot of edge of your seat moments.
Two shock cinema favorites you can watch on Youtube.
Man Behind the Sun (1988) is exploitation with a paper thin narrative structure. You may as well fast-forward to the juicy horrible parts because the rest of the film is boring. I skipped through most of it. Japanese atrocities.
A Serbian Film (2010) isn't boring, by contrast, but it is silly. I found the tone to be so farfetched as to never bother me, though it's constantly cited as one of the most disturbing films ever made. A needy ex-porn star is coerced into the vilest imaginable acts.

This last weekend we watched "Love and Other Disasters" again. I highly recommend it. Especially for those people that feel that they could never find that special one. It's funny, witty and the characters are well executed.
The Iron Lady
really good - Meryl Streep is really good in everything right ?
her husband (Dennis) played by Jim Broadbent - excellent
man England was pretty fucked up back then - all kinds of strikes going on
Oz, The Great and Powerful
It was awesome. I love Jams Franco. I could easily see Johnny Depp play this role, but then he would have completely destroyed the film, Franco is so much better, much hotter and fits the role. They did a pretty good job. Gives me hope that Disney won't fuck up any new Star Wars films they are planning on making.

I liked it.
