Argo - 7/10.Overrated, not helped by a dull middle section and Afflecks wooden performance.

The Impossible - 7.5/10.Spectacular tsunami sequences.A bit self indulgent and sentimental.

Argo - 6/10... You'll enjoy it if you're from 'merica, hate iran or are into boring movies.

Interview with a Vampire.

6/10. The movie felt like it was building up to something epic, then it just fizzles out like something in twilight.

Skyfall (2012) 6/10

To me it felt boring, full of bs and I could not care less if the "bad guys" won. :eek:

Die Hard 5: 6/10

Good watch. Lost it at the end but then again this is a "shoot everything and anything" movie.

Four Lions: 8/10

Superb British black comedy about a group of bumbling Jihadists.

Identity Thief - 7/10

I expected a little more from this movie, especially since it's doing well in the US.

A few parts were funny, but it was okay, not better than Horrible Bosses.

Django unchained: 6.5-7.0 /10

Some of it was good but as with most Tarantino movies there are some things just for the fans.

I was impressed with some of the acting and that so many big name stars acted in it.

Agree can't believe Brave received the Oscar for Best Animation. Felt like an exact copy of Brother Bear.

Wreck it Ralph was pretty bad imo. They squandered the opportunity of having all those classic videogame characters. Brave wasn't as great as other Pixar films

Life of Pi 9/10 - Awesome story, Heartwarming. Watched it in 3D, don't waste you time. Nothing special for 3D. But movie itself I'll definitely recommend twice over.

3d was awesome in Life of Pi...one of the best thing about the special effects for me.

Lincoln - 9/10. Beautifully acted film which relied on an exceptional script and sharp dialog for impact.

Les Miserables - 8/10 Apart from all the singing Great Story.
Red Dawn (2012) - 3/10 Bad Remake... I would have loved the 1984 version if I had watched it as a kid in the 80's . Fans of the original should avoid. Planning to watch 1984 version soon
