I watched 10 minutes of the help, skiped 20, watched 10, skiped 20 and so on. I didn't miss anything. I was slightly amused by that at least.
Is anyone planning to see Spielberg's Battle Donkey? I've read that it is impressive technically, but it looks like the type of sapfest that would trigger fits of projectile vomiting for me.
You mean War Horse? I may watch it at some point for the WWI battle scenes, but it looks like a sappy tearjerker.
Every woman I've talked to recently has been gushing over War Horse, which suggests to me that I'll really hate it. I like to see all the candidates for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Cinematography prior to the Oscars, but I'm not sure I could stomach War Horse. I'm pretty sure I'll like Drive and The Tree of Life. I'm pretty sure I'll hate War Horse.
I watched a movie about a bunch of black WWII pilots. I remember that it was named about their plane. Spitfire or some thing.
Talking about Red Tails? I thought the premise was funny since it starred Cuba Gooding Jr who was also in The Tuskegee Airmen and Terrence Howard who played a Tuskegee air man in Hart's War.
Bad Teacher & The Thing 2011 The Thing was an alright film, but it felt very similar to the original. The woman main character was quite fit though. Bad Teacher surprised me. I thought it was going to be a comedy which gave me not much comedy laughs, but it was quite hilarious and Diaz did well in her roll. Well worth a watch for some cheap laughs.
I'm not usually a fan of prequels, especially ones where they change the actors who are already well established in the roles. Saying that the other xmen films were ok so I wouldn't mind seeing this one.
First Class is actually one of the better X-Men films to be honest and features Magneto and Xavier when they were first friends.
The Colossus of New York This is a cult favorite science fiction B-movie from the late '50s that's loosely based on the original Frankenstein, but with it's own updated twist on the idea of extending life beyond the death of the body. It's actually quite effective at creating a disturbing and creepy atmosphere, despite some of it's B-movie limitations.
I watched a couple of movies directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, Bronson and Pusher III. Both were pretty good. I wanted to get a feel for his style while I'm waiting on Drive to arrive on Blu-ray. It's nice to find a director with genuine artistic talent and vision rather than the typical Hollywood garbage most people waste their time watching.
