The Dark Knight Rises: 6/10

Bitter, bitter disappointment after Dark Knight.

funny, I was going to give it a 6 as well. The fact that it was only 'ok' was a horrible way to end the trilogy. But hey, they weren't Joel Schumacher batman film bad so thats good I guess.

Django Unchained.

somewhere around 9/10. Very good movie. Apparently it was written for Will Smith, but I just can't see 'getting jiggy with it' playing the role as well as Fox did.

Django Unchained - 9.5/10 - While not my favorite Tarantino film, it was very, very good! I loved every minute of it. I was a little wary at first because people were saying that it was unnecessarily lengthy, but I don't think I agree with that at all. It was really enjoyable, and Christoph Waltz was amazing, as always. Great characters, great story, great setting. Loved it.

Indeed. I think Wil Smith in the film would have gone over about as well as Nicholas Cage playing Neo in the Matrix series would have. (yeah, he was originally the person cast to play Neo, and to play Eragorn in the LoTR trilogy).

I like Smith, but I haven't seen Django Unchained yet so my opinion is uninformed at best.

Nicholas Cage would have been a terrible Eragorn.

I like Smith too, but I don't think he has quite a serious acting skill that Fox has displayed in The Soloist and Law Abiding Citizen.

A night at the opera. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0026778/

Absolutely fantastic comedy/musical starring the Marx brothers. I've loved that movie ever since I was a kid and saw it for the first time in several years yesterday, it's brilliant. The cool part is that the humor in it has stood the test of time very well even though film is from 1935.

Les Miserables

8/10

I've seen it on stage with Colm Wilkenson. They didn't do that bad of a job. Hugh Jackman was ok, I was more at surprised Russel Crowe. And I couldn't stop laughing at Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter as Thénardiers and Madame Thénardier.

The Hobbit, 9.99999999/10 (Refuse to give 10/10 to art :P)

End of Watch 10/10 Loved everything in it!!! It had everything! good action, good humor and amazing drama

Look, I don’t know if you are being serious or joking with the last part, but I really dislike people who whine about what they will do if their favorite film or performance doesn’t win the big awards, being completely ignorant to the other great movies that premiered the same year. 2012 was a fantastic year for movies, and especially male performances. You can’t just ignore all the movies you didn’t see, and say that your favorite should win. That’s bad film spirit.
I once saw a completely ignorant fanboy rant about how The Avengers was the best movie in years, and how he would personally track down every Academy member if they didn’t vote it for Best Picture and Downey Jr. for Best Actor, and Joss Whedon for Director, of course. yeah, great society we are a part of.

It did get an 8.8 on IMDB, and there are only 13 other movies with a score of 8.8 or higher.

Really? Have you seen Will Smith in The Pursuit of Happyness or Seven Pounds? He can definitely do serious roles when he needs to. I still agree with you though. This role was meant for Foxx.

Les Misérables

I thought Jackman was okay; I'm a stickler for "on-the-beat, no deviations" when it comes to the score but I knew I wouldn't be getting that going in so I'd made my peace. At times, it seemed that he didn't quite have the range needed. I really enjoyed Hathaway's performance as well as the interpretations of Eponine, the Thénadiers and adult Cosette. This Enjolras felt weak to me-- I wouldn't follow him into battle. I was distracted by Cohen's decision to use a bit of a French accent (the actress who played Mme Giry in Schuemaker's PotO did the same thing) in a musical where the characters would actually be speaking French.
I did not like Crowe at all-- yelling, and weak yelling at that, is not singing. I wasn't expecting Philip Quast quality but I've never heard such a boring take on 'Stars'. Javert is my favorite-- I really wanted to like Crowe in this.
Marius was forgettable to me-- not enough emotion but still better than the Jonas brother (who seemed incapable of making eye contact with the other performers). Gavroche was well-cast.
The sets were gorgeous. I didn't like a lot of the hand-holding going on (do we really need an additional TWO reminders that Eponine is a Thénadier? If so, why no mention that Gavroche is also a Thénadier but chooses to live on the street?) We saw a few places with added segments while some of the exposition that was already in place felt very rushed to me.
I appreciated their giving Wilkinson a cameo as the bishop (and maybe I'm paranoid but I thought I detected a hint of 'I can put Jackman in his place any day of the week' from him when Valjean was brought back with the stolen silver=)) but I don't like that they chose to REPLACE Eponine with the bishop at the end. Have all three but don't take her out!

I'll be interested to see if Mackintosh decides to work on Miss Saigon now.

8/10

A Fantastic Fear of Everything
8 out of 10.

I really was surprised by this. It's Simon Pegg in a slightly darker role, though still comedic. I found the film had more depth than I expected it too, and could relate on a few of the elements! The way they depict fear of someone being in your home when you're alone. I thought it was great! Critics don't seem to agree though.

Kinda like me an best picture, Avatar should of got it. Dont go off at me, but when it says best film it should mean it. Not for the story but for its technical merits and its showing at the box office. Bare in mind that Titanic did the same at the box office and made off with best picture.

Titanic won 2 more Oscars than Avatar was even nominated for. That doesn't include the 3 awards that it DIDN'T win, including Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress. Also, how much money a movie makes at the box office means shit. If that was the case, movies like The King's Speech wouldn't have even been nominated and Hangover 2 would have.

Smith can be serious. I thought he did an excellent job as a serious character in "The Pursuit of Happiness". I just don't think the roll really fit him that well. He is also a bit old to be playing a character who is in his early 20's.

This was the first performance Smith did that showed he definitely has talent for serious rolls. This was back when he was doing Fresh Prince and he ad libed the entire scene apparently. In the episode Will's father who was absent his entire childhood unexpectedly shows up saying he wants to go on a trip with Will. Will is very excited and everything seems to be going okay until you find out the dad just came to try to mooch some money off of Will's uncle and is now skipping town and not taking will on the trip.

I think it was ridiculous because Avatar was arguably the most memorable movie of the year. It had some decent competition, but somehow the one who won was fucking Hurt Locker. Seriously. That movie was not only a box office bomb, it was touted as an accurate portrayal of the war in Iraq while pretty much every veteran who saw it said it was horribly inaccurate, it didn't have any truly memorable preformances, and in 10 years, while people will still remember avatar, no one will remember it.
The other contenders for best picture that year:
Avatar
The Blind Side
District 9
An Education
Inglorious Basterds
Precious
A serious Man
Up
Up in the air

Literally all of those movies were better than the Hurt Locker. I think one of the reasons it won was because the director is James Camerons ex wife and they wanted to create some stupid artificial rivalry for the tabloids so more hype would get built up.

I haven't been so ticked off about a best picture decision since they gave Best Picture to fucking Shakespeare in Love over Saving Private Ryan.

Die Hard 3 - 8/10

It's Die Hard! 3 also, wich i think is the best one. Jeremy Irons is so freaking good as Simon!

[Zarintha]

Premium Rush
8/10
It's about one of those bike messenger people in New York who gets a package to deliver that is more than it seems at first. Shit hits the fan as some guy wants the package off him and chases him all across the city.
Big bonus - Main Character is Joseph Gordon-Levitt :3

Fern Gully with 3D CGI everywhere does not = a masterpiece. Avatar is WAY over hyped and always has been. Its plot is one of the most basic and overused out there. Seriously, just look at the cartoon Fern Gully and you'll realise Avatar's basically that, for teens.

Anyways.

Contagion: 9/10
