Up: I finally saw it, and it was moving, thoughtful, humorous, and inspiring.

Cars 2: it's not a lemon but Pixar finally made a movie for kids that's mostly for kids, which is almost as disappointing as it is surprising.
The Campaign: take the less funny elements of Talledega Nights, add a great deal more profanity and just enough genuinely funny moments to keep it from being a disaster on the order of Land of the Lost and you have a disjointed Campaign that's unlikely to find anyone clamoring for four more, or two, or one.

Total Recall "Reboot"
Crap.

They should have called it "Total Re-Dont."

The Hobbit: An Expected Journey: This was a beautifully done and incredibly charming opening to a new trilogy, exploring the world of Middle Earth and the life of hobbits. Loved it.
Les Miserables: Words won't, can't, do this film justice, as it was an instant classic, a masterpiece...perhaps the Gospel in song. Superb.

Matchstick Men: Paper Moon without the neat old cars.
:mmph: Well, thanks...at least now the whole "Aside from that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?" joke makes sense.
So that's something.
lain:MIB III: better than advertised and gives the entire series emotional gravitas it didn't have before---an anti-Matrix then.
I've yet to see it, but based on the trailers for this, and the ones for W, I am amazed at Josh Brolin's impersonation skills.MIB III: better than advertised and gives the entire series emotional gravitas it didn't have before---an anti-Matrix then.
I'm looking forward to seeing it soon, though.
Let me know what you think of it. I think it was the best of the trio, with the second being overly criticized if light and disposable. Brolin is excellent.
Looper: darker and better than I expected.

Breaking Dawn Part 2
Good end to the film series. I haven't read any of the books or seen more than the first two movies in the series, but my wife has read all the books and bought all the DVDs. I guess this was a chick-flik.

The Hobbit ...a whole bunch of dwarves, and some guy with the best turkey-neck rendered in CGI.
Joyful noise: imagine Glee set in a church backdrop and with less wit, poorer character development and even less of a moral compass...really.
Hope Springs: the only way to make watching this movie a less entertaining and more uncomfortable mess would have been to invite my parents to the screening. :rip:
