8MM - Used to like Nic Cage. Less and less the more I see. This one was pretty bad. Couldn't decide if it wanted to shock you or scare you. In the end it did neither.

Finally watched Bladerunner. Could have found better use for those two hours. Been on my list for some time. Didn't really get it, however.

Which version did you see (Director's cut or Original with Harrison Ford narrating?)

If you have not read the books at all or recently the narrated version is easier to follow. P.K. Dick had a great concept in his short story...

Ted I was ready for...it was exactly what I thought it would be and nothing more.
I find Seth McFarlane to be very talented, but not always to my taste, so I thought the film
would be about the same. I was right again.

I'm sort of with you on Talladega Nights. I think it seems funnier when quoting the lines among friends than it actually is on screen.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I watched this with my 16 year old son. Even though it is almost 40 years old, the humor still held up. My son was laughing hysterically, as was I, for about the 300th time at some of the bits.

Watched the Director's cut. I was with it for the first half....but it never really materialized for me. Off the top of my head, a few things that left it wanting:
-No chemistry between the leads...same problem I had with Maltese Falcon the other night -- the story NEEDS you to buy into the relationship between Ford and Young...I never got there; and maybe partly because of
-Ford played the entire movie as if he was on edge of a coma --probably intentional so that you'd question if he's human; but I just couldn't sympathize with him, or fear for him, or relate at all
-The drawn out fight/flight scenes in last 20-30 min were long, boring, overwrought and totally killed any momentum.
-All the characters that could have brought some entertainment value or interest were given short shrift: Tyrell, the Olmos guy, the designer dude, even Pris ; make Batty either more human or more 'artificial', but straddling both, as was obviously the intent, didn't work for me at all

Jack Reacher :tu :tu

I saw it with my wife and son and we all liked it (I was the only one that had read the book). The movie does not really follow the book -- the basic plot and some other touch points, but it is good none-the-less. It's not going to be critically acclaimed but it filled the bill for me. Tom Cruise does a credible job in the role.

Total Recall 2012, extended version. Must say that as much as I liked the 1990 version, IMO this was much better.

On tap is now The Dark Knight Rises.

In Time. OK. Glad I saw it on cable rather than in the theater, but I did not hate it.

I'm watching it again. Saw it for first time last night. Great movie, but not still sure about the voice they used for Bane. Doesn't fit to me.

Silverlignings Playbook with Jennifer Lawarence, Bradely Cooper and Robert DeNiro. Not bad pretty good but not my highest recommendation.

The Heat with Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy (Bridesmaids).
Not out for a few months but great comedy and dialogue. Has been testing very well with preview groups.
Highly Reccommended. Here is the redband trailer:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5m7Ml76zoA
may have to sign in to utube.

The Sessions with Helen Hunt, John Hawkes (?) and Bill Macey.
Helen Hunt looks quite good for 40 yys old (full frontal nudity).
In my top 3 movies of 2012. Great writing with some humor.

The Hobbit. We enjoyed it. It is really good if you are a fan, but I am not sure that they needed to take one book and make it into three movies....

Lincoln

Some really great acting performances. Daniel Day Lewis, Sally Field, Tommy Lee Jones, and others.

I heard a reviewer say that it was his punishment for liking The Lord Of The Rings movies so much. :r

Had a Christmas MIB marathon yesterday, watching all three in succession.

The Expendables 2 -- a nice action romp with lots of humor on the side. :tu :tu
