I liked this a lot. The old woman absolutely devastated me - and according to wikipedia she was an actual resident who lost her home so what I first believed to just be great acting was actually a very real, very heavy moment.

In regards to the spoiler you and Joe were talking about
Spoiler for :
My vote goes toward them being dead, but I really like how the question is not all that important in the scheme of the film. In fact, the original Icelandic version of this was titled "Either Way," which I find really interesting.

Desolation of Smaug. It begs the question: Is Peter Jackson trying to piss me off?

Netflix suggested Fireplace For Your Home to me and I just have to say that after three hours of watching it has one of the weakest plot lines I've ever seen.

True. I didn't realize that.

Spoiler for my thoughts:
I have a hard time seeing them as dead. It just makes too much sense that the younger one was really going into town to try to get laid every weekend while the older one spent the weekends in the woods avoiding his responsibilities. On the other hand, I do love thinking of the two as Vladimir and Estragon, just waiting for Godot.

I watched Christmas horror movies yesterday and it was lovely!

ATM

I love movies that can take place in one setting and have so much going for it plot wise. Now that I see the movie poster it makes sense. The guy that made Buried made this movie as well. I'm pretty sure the critics took a steamy pile of **** on this movie but I love it. I recommend watching this just for Alice Eve alone. So much feels for her. Also I'm sure you'd like to know what's so scary about visiting an ATM after a Christmas office party and how you could even become trapped in one.

Dead End



The guy that plays the dad. Man, he's such a great actor. I remember his performance on the show Reaper and it just makes me smile. I'm sure he's had other roles in the past that I don't know about but whenever he's on screen he steals the scene. This family gets stuck on a road singing Christmas jingles and they slowly start dying. That's all I can say. It would be too much of a spoiler to say anything else.

Jack Frost

I've seen this before in the past so even though I fell asleep on it. I still had some great laughs before I dozed off. This movie is pretty much a cult classic. What's not to love about a killer snowman getting revenge on the sheriff that caught him with puns and hilarious death scenes.

Saw a bunch of movies in theater this week. Very unimpressive overall.

The Hobbit

Surprisingly might have been the best movie I saw all week. It's one of those movies that simply is what it is, and shouldn't be critiqued as anything more than an action/adventure with stunning visuals. Fantastic fight sequences and beautiful scenery.

7.5/10

Anchorman 2

I was a huge fan of the first one but this was god awful. There really is no other way to describe it. Absolutely ridiculous and not in a funny way. There were only a handful of good lines; the rest of it was pure trash.

1/10

American Hustle

Way too much hype for this. The first half of the movie is painfully slow. It definitely picks up steam in the second half, but is still underwhelming overall. Bale was pretty good but the acting as a whole was overrated. I thought Amy Adams was quite weak in this actually. Louis CK has an amazing part in this though; the scenes he's in with Cooper are pure gold.

6.5/10

The Wolf of Wall Street

After hearing a lot of glowing reviews, I was let down by this. Still entertaining and a solid movie, but I was expecting so much more. DiCaprio is great though, and Jonah Hill has some good bits, but from a comedy standpoint, it seemed to be trying a bit too hard, and it didn't connect more often than not. With it being so long, there is a lot of filler in there that didn't need to be there, sandwiched around some pretty memorable scenes.

7/10
