"The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey"......The movie is amazing. The vividness of the colors and light and movement is something to behold. The scenery is, of course, gorgeous. The acting is light, fun, playful, dramatic, and moving while also managing to stay true to the original story. Martin Freeman is great as the younger version of "Bilbo" and is very believable. The merry band of dwarfs are well played and you somehow get to know each of them by the end of the film. Too many to mention but of course the handsome Richard Armitage(Thorin) and sexy Aidan Turner(Kili) are major standouts. Ian McKellen is luminous as "Gandalf" and Hugo Weaving as "Elrond" is splendid once again. It is great to once again see the characters of Elrond, older Bilbo, Sarumon, Galadriel, and Frodo. The esquisite Cate Blanchett back in the role of "Galadriel" is a delight. She portrays that character full of grace, beauty, and mystery!! The scenes with Galadriel and Gandalf are fantastic and I loved seeing actors Blanchett and McKellen in scenes together. The special effects, art direction, music score, cinematography, and makeup effects are all absolutely great. As for the main story, well, apart from doing a prelude that reprises the role of Frodo and older Bilbo Baggins, it pretty much stays true to the text. Also featured are some great action/battle scenes, fun and campy moments, and some nicely done emotional scenes. This first installment of "The Hobbit" is a gem!! Nominated for 3 Academy Awards(visual effects, production design,and makeup), I think this film deserved at least another 4 nominations!!

10/10

Django Unchained (2012) - 10/10

Fucking awesome flick, but the ending could've been shorter, IMO.

Broken City - it was slow and boring and the story ping ponged around. They could have eliminated some characters to tighten up the story better.

So amazing on BluRay. Just beautiful. Can't wait till I'm in a fucking crowd like that.

Loses half a point for a slightly schmaltzy ending, but other than that this film is excellent. A crazy movie about a couple of crazy people. Bradley Cooper is a revelation, Jennifer Lawrence puts in another fine turn and Robert De Niro hasn't been this good in years. Jackie Weaver is also good but her character doesn't have much to do.

Although I enjoyed the schmaltzy ending in this one, thought it worked better here than in most of these types of films.


Pineapple Express - 9/10

Fucking love this flick.

[The Bear Jew]

Tombstone 9/10

One of my favorite films of all time, The cast as a whole are stellar especially Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer...

50/50 - 10/10

This was the first time I have seen this movie and WOW. I would have seen it sooner but the previews for it made it look like just another random Seth Rogan movie. Everyone in this film was phenominal (including Seth Rogan) and I found it to be a little different than what I am used to in a Rogan film. The only other movie Id ever seen with Joeseph Gordon Levitt was Dark Knight Rises and I found him mediocre in it but he was spot on fantastic in this. I know this is a huge score for my first veiwing, but this is honestly the best film Ive seen since high school probably.
