47 Ronin.  Yeah, the japanese in me had to watch it.  It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't great.  My biggest beef with it, you have a very established Japanese cast.  And you do it in English?  If the movie was in Japanese and subtitled in English, it would have been so much more enjoyable.  

 

That and it was basically just an average movie. Go see Last Samurai

 

Walter Mitty: A-

12 Years a Slave - 10/10

 

Great movie. Kind of graphic in some spots. Just an incredible story. Terrific acting by all.

Today I watched the One Direction DVD "This Is Us" with my daughter.

You can pretty much send me my father of the year award now.

Don't spoil the ending for me, I'm half way through the book.

Have you gotten to the part where Louis admits he's gay?

Prometheus:  Finally checked this out and I really enjoyed it.  I love any story that uses the ancient alien theory as a basis.  The visuals are awesome.  I'm pretty excited for the second one.

 

 

Argo:  Amazing.  Well worth the hype and awards.

[mtangelsfan]

Argo was awesome. 

 

I didn't enjoy Prometheus that much.  For me, a movie has to give you at least a couple of characters to actually like and relate to.  Also, it was pretty convoluted and really just seemed like a prequel to the Alien franchise.

Watched the entire Breaking Bad marathon and enjoyed it even more than the first time around.

So many movies I want to see. It is funny. You wait all year for the studios to finally release their good films, then  they're all out at once and it is too difficult to see them all. 

 

I might have to resort to Torrents...

 

Really want to see:

 

American Hustle 

The Hunger Games

Wolf of Wall Street

Nebraska

Inside Llewyn Davis 

 

I'm sure I'm forgetting another one...

Dallas Buyers Club.

My list is the same sans Hunger Games. Only have seen Wolf on Wall Street.

I'd probably 12 Years a Slave, too.

I've luckily seen every single one you and Adam listed. I'd also toss in Spike Jonze's Her in there for you guys to check out.

Started watching reruns of Sportsnight. Good show, though the laugh track is completely unnecessary. The dialogue is brisk and very sharp.

[HaloMilliVanilli]

Watched American Hustle last night.  Went in having heard great things.  Was just ok. 

[St1ck]

The World's End: B-

 

I would love for the three of them to do a comedy without a supernatural theme, but I doubt that will happen.

[Tank]

It looks my cable system now has the Smithsonian channel. Watched a few episodes of aerial America and dvr'd a few. What an interesting show. Looking forward to other programming from them.

Same here. Mine recently added Smithsonian, History2, and Biography. Got a ton already scheduled to record. I watched the Lockerbie/Pan Am 103 documentary a few days ago. Interesting stuff.

There were some really good parts in that movie but the end dragged it down for me.

Drinking Buddies

 

It left me feeling weird.

My list is the same sans Hunger Games. Only have seen Wolf on Wall Street.

I'd probably 12 Years a Slave, too.

 

Dallas Buyers Club and Her too...

 

Dammit. DVDs won't be out for a few months

Sports Night is FANTASTIC in almost every freaking way.

You'll notice that they quickly agree with you and ultimately drop the laugh track entirely as the show progresses. Keep watching. It's one of the best television shows ever.

[Brandon]

Dallas Buyers Club and Her too...

Yeah dude, I'm going to be busy at Red Box if I don't catch these sooner.

[nate]

They drop the laugh track about half way through the first season I think.  Rally is right, it would be GOAT if it made it more than two seasons.

 

Wife and I have been watching Scrubs.  I never really paid much attention to it when it was on.  It is ok, really hit or miss.  I am surprised it made it as long as it did because they story lines are almost identical from one season to the next.  It is ok filler while nothing else is on and it is in the background.

I LOVED Prometheus, but it was primarily due to viewing it in 3D on an RPX screen. I don't think I would have enjoyed it as much if I had just seen it at home.

I put Prometheus up there with Life of Pi and Gravity as the best 3D film experiences that have been available to date. Gravity is BY FAR the best, but the other two are head and shoulders above the rest.
