Shockingly the theater I go to most picked it up but I was prepared to drive a little extra to check it out. I have some free time tomorrow so I think I will give it a look. I thought I noticed it was only playing in like 2000 theaters.

The first one was The Collector. I had never heard of it either lol. My fiance wanted to go watch this one though so i watched the first one right before we went and saw this one.

Ah ok. It's a good thing I didn't go see it then. I've never heard of The Collector. Ha

Just got back from 20 hours of flight time:

Moonrise Kingdom: If you like Wes Anderson (and I do) you will enjoy the film, if not become frustrated with Wes going to the well again.

Total Recall: The reboot was better than I thought it would be - still wouldn't pay for it.

Frankenweenie: Another typical film by Burton, I liked it but didn't love it.

Bourne Legacy: Mediocre action movie.

Ted: Crass and vulgar and I laughed my butt off.

Heading to see Flight. Hoping for an empty theater and a blow job. Will report back.

Also, will let you know my opinion on the movie.

Just saw Lincoln. DDL is amazing. Tommy Lee Jones is amazing. Sally Field was awesome.

I really thought it was a great movie and very insightful. Its long, but looking back, it probably needed to be. I can see it taking home tons of Awards. DDL, Jones and Field should and probably all will be nominated. I would expect DDL to win Best Actor and Field or Jones to take home best supporting...maybe both. The movie itself will win a lot as well. Should be up for Best Picture.

Flight was great. Another limited action movie, but I enjoyed the dialogue and the situations.

Funny, tried to watch it again last night. Couldn't get through it. If anyone other than Christopher Nolan directed it, it would have been panned by the critics. The plot was absolutely nonsensical. This is pretty funny (and IMO true):

I want to read the book before I go see the movie. Looks like it could be interesting though.

I would recommend Life of Pi. Missed start of Skyfall so my wife and I settled on this move. Story is good with a slight twist. Visuals are amazing and think this would actually be a cool movie to see in 3D (and I don't care for 3D). I would see again. Not a kids movie though. They will not understand the twist and the "animals" act like animals which may scare them.

Life of Pi wasn't bad. I was bored for the first 10 minutes or so. The story of the main character leading up to the plot was just not interesting. It was entertaining for the most part after that. I don't agree with rip34 about the 3D though. I read on Twitter to expect this "magical' 3D experience almost on the level of Avatar and it was just as bad as every other movie in 3D.

Life of Pi was a pretty good book. One of the few I actually read in HS. Ill probably check the movie out at some point, but probably not in the theater.

Without a doubt the worst movie I have ever watched.

I have left two movies early at the movie theater: Paul Blart Mall Cop and "The Watch". Def would've bailed on The Happening too.

Everyone in the theatre walked out pissed. I felt as if I had been duped out of 14.50.

Have seen all the movies in theaters except Playing for Keeps, Life of Pi, and Twilight. I refuse to see Twilight. The lady wanted PfK over LoPi. Such a bad movie. Uma Thurman has nice tits though. Wish I could have taken her bra off.
