Current Movies - Thumbs UP or Thumbs DOWN

[Ninjasquirrel]

Don't think I could tolerate the CGI dog - how stupid. Like the carpy studio couldn't spring for a real trained dog? Just seeing the preview, ruined it for me.

Maybe it had something to do with the other dog movie by the same studio: A Dogs Purpose. They got in big trouble with animal rights groups

Silver Lining's Playbook...definitely two thumbs up
Perks of Being a Wallflower...two thumbs up
Hobbit....Peter Jackson needs to handed a pair of scissors and sent back to editing room.
Best Marigold Hotel...two thumbs up
Premium Rush...two thumbs up, requires turning off your inner skeptic, as do most action movies
Skyfall...good Bond fun
Hope Springs...good, middle aged couples movie
Trouble With the Curve...Amy Adams, Justin Timberlake, and Clint Eastwood. What's not to like? Kinda predictable but very watchable.
the two Snow White movies...I like them, not memorable, not much to them
Breaking Dawn...I only watched part of it, and didn't pay for it, thank god. This movie made me think "just shoot me now" and "where's Buffy when you need here?" It might be better than a bullet to the head.
Hanna...two hours of my life wasted. Do not watch this movie, awful, pointless, and incredibly violent.

I'm looking forward to catching some movies. I want to see Life of Pi, Flight, Warm Bodies. I would watch a movie every night if I could.

I agree about The Hobbit. Though I'm a big J.R.R. Tolkien fan (dad read me Hobbit when I was five, I have a LotR Risk that comes with a The Ring of Power, both my sister and my dad can do killer Gollum impressions, I have some LotR poetry memorized, I have an index thing I've found helpful) I didn't like the Hobbit movies nearly so much as the LotR movies.

Does anyone want a list of funny mistakes and injuries to the cast in the course of filming The Lord of the Rings trilogy? Like the post if you do. I have lots

$8 for 2 corn dogs?! That's highway robbery!

$8 for 2 corn dogs?! That's highway robbery!

See, they're Gandalf's Corn Staffs. Which are special (read: expensive).

But I don't like corn dogs.
