Saw the new 300 movie.  It was fun, although not as much fun as the first.

Also Eva Green is smoking.  That is all.

Watched Frozen. Manly tears were had. Great performances.

It is actually a quite well done movie, and an interesting story line.

Of course there's people like this out there:

Watched Garden State. That was a movie. It was not a great movie, nor was it the worst thing I've ever seen. It simply was.

Saw Muppets Most Wanted a few days ago, forgot to post about it. I liked the movie a whole bunch, a lot more than the last one in-fact. The songs were vibrant and catchy 9 times out of 10 and the jokes were just perfect. Any kids movie with a Seventh Seal joke gets an approval in my book.

watched margin call and boiler room.

Both were well worth my time

Was bored to tears by Margin Call, really like the entire cast but I couldn't get into it. Haven't seen boiler room yet, but we do like throwing around the "Who the fuck do you think I am, Charles Schwab?!" quote at work.

I finally got around to Joss Whedon's version of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, it was shot in black & white, and in about 12 days. Additionally numerous of Whedon's old time friends appear in the film and honestly do quite well in their respective roles, despite me being so use to seeing them in numerous other roles.

If you LIKE Shakespeare, I do recommend it as a quick rental at least. If you DON'T like shakespeare, ignore it, as it's quite close to original text.

But does it have Michael Keaton saying over and over that he's an ass?

No, Nathan Fillion does... which is just as entertaining... in fact he's rather entertaining in said role.

Finally got around to The Watchmen. Had so much potential but ended up being kind of try-hard throughout the whole thing. Even so, interesting characters, good concept, and stunning visuals pushed up to barely a 6/10 for me. Not something I'd really recommend but if you need to turn your brain off for 2 1/2 hours go right ahead.

I remember when I went to see it in theatres this super movie buff poser guy was with me and I said the animated film for Tales of the Black Freighter looks worth a watch and he said it'd be dumb because it wasn't in the comic.

It was widely considered to be unfilmable and Zack Snyder though the key to it was being incredibly faithful. He was wrong. He gets an A for effort though and an extra gold star for changing the ending to what it should have been all along.

There are just too many details that have to be included to make the movie work, which would be fine at a smaller budget, but this is a niche where comic books can shine: Fantastical worlds and fleshed-out interesting narratives. Snyder's effort is admirable, but the story and characters is really where it fell flat.

God what I would give to see Joss Whedon take a crack at it.

Finally got around to watching Skyfall.  Overall underwhelming, though Javier Bardem was awesome and the cinematography was gorgeous.

Watched The Fall (2006) again last night. Really great movie. Not too much in the way of plot, but damn does it look beautiful.
