SEVEN PSYCOPATHS. I felt right at home. Weird story and wonderful acting. Loved it!

I saw Nativity2: Danger in the Manger at the cinema. I'm sure you're all exceedingly jealous so I won't make it worse by detailing the gripping storyline and sophisticated character development.

Can smell it from all the way over here.. *G*

Wow! Seven Psychopaths only came out in the UK last week; we saw it. Loved it, but it is the sort of film you probably need to see three or four times to actually 'see' everything.

Saw Life of Pi 3D on Monday night. Visually stunning, but a little tiresome in a couple of places. The tiger reminded me of Mog (may he rest in peace). I've read the book and enjoyed it and the film in equal measures (which is quite a lot).

I saw Expendables 2 and The Dark Knight Rises. Both were blah for an action film.

I saw The Hobbit yesterday.  I found it really dark, which made it hard to tell what was going on, and the movie was almost over before I realized that there were subtitles at the bottom of the screen that would tell me what was being said..

If anyone likes Tim Burton movies or play-stop animation movies, you'll love "ParaNorman"  So fun, dark, and cute   I love the "Corpse Bride", "Nightmare Before Christmas", etc.  I highly recommend it. My two year old was scared of some parts, but over all he loved it

We finally got round to seeing that yesterday.  I enjoyed it, far more than the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

I thought it might be more comical than the Lord of the Rings movies

Not much comedy in Tolkien's tales!

[Riki]

There's a bit of dark humor.. you just have to find it.. in the movie anyway.. not sure of the books.. got them for Christmas.. guess I'll have to read them now.. *L*

We just recently saw "Dark Shadows" with Johnny Depp. We loved it! Both of us grew up with the original series and loved the fact that 4 of the original cast members were in this movie. Quite fun!

I'm just waiting on my pre-orders from Amazon now. I forgot what I have coming January 8, but the one I want is Argo.

[okarol]

Saw Lincoln today and have to say it was quite masterful.  I felt like I was there.  I had not realized that the vote for the 13th Amendment in the House had been that close.

I liked Lincoln a lot too. Daniel Day Lewis really did a beautiful job.

We saw Rise of the Guardians right before Christmas, skipped a Christmas party to go in fact. (We were all partied out by that point....) It was really cute, reminded me a bit of Despicable Me with Santa's elves behaving much like the minions in that film.

Gwyn and I watched Pray the Devil Back to Hell last night on Netflix, the documentary about a women's peace movement in Liberia (once deemed The Worst Place in the World by a major news magazine). Anyhow the film was amazing, simply awe-inspiring how brave these women were to take on this impossible task and see it through. It is one of the most difficult films on earth to watch, and yet we told ourselves that if these women could face what they faced, surely Gwyn and I could be witness to it and tell others about what they've done. We even told the boys a bit about it. The evil done in that country by Charles Taylor and other warlords is almost beyond comprehension.

My sister and I went to the cinema Christmas day and saw Les Miserables .

Amazing, amazing, amazing!! I would recommend to anyone who knows the story, enjoys musicals, wants a good cry-fest, etc. It was simply beautiful. The actors did a phenomenal job of bringing the characters to life and giving them such emotion. The whole thing is sung, there's barely any actual talking, so if that's not your cup of tea... ehhh.... But anyway, go see it! You won't regret!

I'm slowly making my way through the original series.  I saw the 90s revival on Netflix and wasn't really impressed.  I have a bit of a girl crush on Joan Bennett.. *G*  I wish I had found this series before she died, so I could have sent her some fan mail..

[Chris]

I haven't watched Dark Shawdows yet, I know my parents have it and my mom wants the orginal series on DVD   (real expensive there). I thought there was a revival in the 80's also?

There was. It was on for 1 season. I still have it on video tape!

I normally only post when I've seen films at the cinema, but Blokey bought me Battle Royale (squeamishly bloody, but not as good as the book [which he also bought me so I can read it again at my leisure]), The Hunger Games (which I did see at the cinema, but he watched it with me the other night and we had lots of fun comparing it to Battle Royale, and he even offered to see the next installment with me when it comes out, ha!) and Despicable Me (oodles of fun; I've not seen it before and now I'm excited because they're making a sequel, allegedly!).  Yesterday we settle down in fron of the tellybox and watched When the Lights Went Out, a British horror film based on Europe's most horrifying poltergeist activity in history.  It wasn't that horrifying, but good fun anyway.  And I enjoyed looking up the true story it was (loosely) based on afterwards.

We are planning on going to see "The Hobbit" tonight. Hoping it's as good as I have heard.

Did you enjoy The Hunger Games? Did you read the books? I went and seen it at the cinema twice when it was out. xD Once with my sister and once with a friend. Still haven't bought it though... and I'm only on the 2nd book so far. Love it!

Also, Despicable Me is one of my favorite kids movies! The youngest girl is SOOOOO adorable! "It's so fluffy I'm gonna die! IT'S SO FLUFFY!" That's another movie I saw more than once in theaters. Can't wait for the sequel, though I doubt it will top the first. As sequels ususally fall short.

So, the latest movie I watched was The Tall Man , starring Jessica Biel-Timberlake on Netflix. It's supposed to be very loosely based on the legend of Slenderman. Worst.Movie.Ever. Seriously, it's one of those truly confusing movies and you have no clue what's going on until the very end. Even then it's anticlimatic and unsatisfactory.    Two big thumbs down! lol But it was fun to make fun of. haha I'm horrible.

I prefer the books (I've read them all) but the film is pretty good.  I actually saw it at the cinema on my own because NOBODY wanted to come with me ... *sigh*

We are seeing Skyfall this Saturday. The local art house is showing it for £3 a ticket, about half the price of a family ticket at the commercial theatre. I hope it isn't too terribly inappropriate for the boys. Gwyn is so looking forward to it but I find James Bond films to be dead boring. At least this James Bond is Welsh so we can cheer for the home team!
