Guest Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Just went through a movie marathon.1.) Can't remember the title of this movie with the actor for Captain America on the phone with Kim Bassinger. It was pretty dumb.2.) The Hobbit 1. I still get a kick out of the flying plates.3.) The Notebook. Still good after the nth showing.4.) Some wierd movie with the actress for Hermoine speaking with an American accent. I didn't last too long on this movie before I went looking for something else.5.) Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Blah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bini Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 ^I thought Mr. & Mrs. Smith was cute. I haven't watched it recently but it always gives me a chuckle.Been doing back to back How To Train Your Dragon and The Lorax, one after the other, over and over again. My two-year old is fascinated by dragons and the furry little peanut guy. We will probably watch it again today, both, several times again too.

It was pretty dumb.Cellular. Dumb yes, but a good "have it on in the background for noise while you do something else in the same room" kind of movie.4.) Some wierd movie with the actress for Hermoine speaking with an American accent. I didn't last too long on this movie before I went looking for something else.The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Loved it.5.) Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Blah.Oh, come on! It's a fun movie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dravin Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 For the record based on our conversations during or after movies I just realized that for me and Beefche RIPD has become our standard for absolutely terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bini Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Or Pacific Rim or John Carter or.....I'm with you guys on all three of those. They were pretty dang awful. I would say that Pacific Rim was just flat out TERRIBLE ACTING despite all that money spent on pretty awesome CGI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dravin explained the anime perspective of that movie and if you're into anime I can understand why you would enjoy Pacific Rim. I'm not into anime....

mirkwood Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Without giving away the storyline of RIPD, I plan on watching it, what was wrong with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dahlia Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Saw the Hobbit. Have to admit I nodded out a bit at the beginning (not a good sign), but the last 45 minutes or so were good. I will wait for it to come on cable and see it a few times again. Loved seeing Jackson's kids tho; too cute.I haven't read The Hobbit in a while, so my memory is hazy, but I kept looking at scenes and trying to remember if they were in the book. Too much brain power to have to use just to watch a movie. Smaug was good and ugly. Nothing cute about him, which agrees with what I've been reading about depictions of dragons in Christian theology, literature.btw - Apparently I am now old enough to qualify for the senior discount. I think that's one of those 'good news/bad news' things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not into anime....I'm not into anime but I have a sibling that is, and into comic books, and all that jazz. I don't know anything else about Pacific Rim other than what was played out in Pacific Rim the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeuroTypical Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Yay! Saw Monsters University last night. That scene where the mom drives them to MI and says "I'll just be sitting here in the car listening to my music"? That's me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backroads Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 I saw "Frozen" last night. Adorable and LOVED the animation. Though that being based on the fairy tale of "The Snow Queen" was quite the stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dahlia Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 By accident, I found this: behind the scenes info about the making of the Hobbit. Lots of beautiful NZ scenery, and how they get it, building Hobbiton for future tourism, etc. Pretty interesting and not your usual behind the scenes fluff.

mirkwood Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Olympus Has Fallen. I liked it more than Whitehouse Down, however, it required as much suspension of belief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vort Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 A Christmas Story. Only the seventeen zillionth time watching it. Curiously, I probably laughed as much during this viewing as any other. Shows the power of a cleverly written and well-directed movie that laughs at its characters even as it loves them enough not to make buffoons out of them.

Guest Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 47 Ronin. Waste of money. It was so bad I fell asleep in the theater.Walter Mitty. This was a much better movie than Ronin but still, there's something about it that just didn't meld with me. I wasn't able to relate to the Mitty character - is he supposed to be this ordinary guy caught in an extraordinary adventure? Or is he an extraordinary guy that was repressed by day dreaming? Or something... It seems like there's something funny when I'm supposed to feel emotional about Mitty or emotional when I'm wanting to laugh... yeah, there was something off and I can't quite put my finger on it. Frozen. Again. This was a much better experience than the last time because I went with a whole slew of little girls! When the "Let It Go" song came on, all the girls, including those who were seated infront and behind us, broke into song! It was super cool! LOL.

Latter Days Guy Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 I've heard that 47 Ronin has been getting some poor reviews but then most of my friends who have seen it think its quite good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dahlia Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 I admit to watching 'Battleship' for the bazillioneth time. I can't help it. CGI weapons slicing skyscrapers in half will always have a place in my heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Star Trek Into Darkness. Going to see Desolation of Smaug later today.After Frozen, we sat in Smaug while waiting for the next movie and we got lucky because it was the barrel scene. I watched it again paying attention to details this time but I got so caught up in the fun of it, I just have to sit back and just enjoy it. It was really good we were almost late to the next show!

Wingnut Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 The barrel scene was fun. I liked that sequence. I didn't terribly enjoy the rest of the movie. It was better than the first, but that's really not all that difficult a feat to have accomplished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
