Django Unchained - View on Film

Django Unchained-

Good last Friday of 2012.  I finally got to see Quentin Tarantino's latest, Django Unchained.  Not as good as the perfect Inglourious Bastards, but still a wonderful film.  A little long, but worth your 2 hours and 45 minutes.

Have a great weekend, and an early Happy New Year!

Cheers!

The Hobbit - View on Film

Good Friday everyone!

The Hobbit-

I admire the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, but it is a disconnect with me personally.  Will the Hobbit be the same?  See my review below.

Have a great weekend!

New on DVD 12/11 - View on Film

Good day!  We have a load of movies for you today!

First up, one of the Best Comedy Films of the year.


Ted-

I howled at this naughty movie.  Mark Wahlberg is fantastic, in both his action and comedy films.  The is for the adults....and it's a riot.  My original review below.




The Bourne Legacy-

An OK sequel to the Bourne Trilogy....without Matt Damon this time.  It does take a while to get going, and it's not as action packed as the previous movies, but I still think its worth a watch.

My original review is below.





Ice Age: Continental Drift-

This movie is the number 2 money maker on the year internationally, just behind the Avengers.  I really didn't dig it, but it is good family entertainment.  Just don't expect Pixar type goodness.  My original review is below.  Have a great weekend!  See you Friday with my review of the Hobbit!

Cheers!

Playing for Keeps - View on Film

Playing for Keeps-

Hello there!  Here's my look at Gerard Butler in Playing for Keeps....a movie that while not being so bad....is so run of the mill, I wonder how they got funding for it!

Enjoy your weekend!

Cheers!

New on DVD 12/4 - View on Film

Good Day.....here's whats new this week on DVD....with one HUGE release!

The Dark Knight Rises-

In the finale of one of the finest trilogies ever, comes the epic Dark Knight Rises.  It is a different film from the Dark Knight, but it is a fine example of film making.  I loved it, and I love this series.  See my original review below.


And now, two films which came and went......

The Odd Life of Timothy Green-

For a Disney film, this came and went without much fanfare this year.  The response to it wasn't much better....it rated a 39% Fresh Rating from Rottentomatoes.com.  If you're desperate for a family film, this is it.





Hope Springs-

Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones star in a story about a married couple that has drifted apart, and look to get help from therapist Steve Carell.  I'll be checking this out soon.  It got 73% from Rottentomatoes.com.

Have a great week!

Cheers!
