Very good, however he forgot about the Soul Gem being apart of the infinity gauntlet.

I saw 42 the other day, but haven't been recently. I might try to get in a double feature tomorrow. Nothing out now that screams "must see."

The only thing out I remotely want to see is Oblivion. Well I want to see Place Beyond the Pines but I doubt I will be able to find it in my area.

Got dragged to Olympus has Fallen yesterday.

Review: eh. predictable action plot. Gerard Butler kicking butt. Wouldn't recommend it, waste of money

Finally saw Lincoln...perhaps my expectations were too high, but I found the most entertaining aspect was trying to see how many big-name actors I could recognize.

I'm going to see something today. I'm either going to see Lords of Salem and Place Beyond the Pines or just going to watch Oblivion.

I agree, anyone who has a clue how our secret service and/or how the President/WH is protected along with the DC area in general, just watches that whole movie in disbelief. Utterly stupid on how wrong/bad it was.

Now, if you are clueless and want a good action flick, then by all means its worth seeing.

Watched Django and Taken 2 last night. I loved the former and thought the latter was okay. Liam Neeson is still a bad ass and I would bang him, though.

I laughed all the way through taken 2. I love that they really spent a lot of time showing what a family man liam was....brought the Lulz with the dreadful emotional acting

That's kind of what i expected. Tom Cruise movies have lost their thrill for me.

Really hard to "suspend disbelief" of Tom Cruise as a tough guy after that whole couch jumping episode and other wackiness during those days.

I though Ghost Protocol was a good action movie.

Umm I think you can still be pretty educated and respect a movie for what it's worth. In fictional movies/books, facts and logic are not always necessary to have a good time.

Come on, have you seen it?

DC airspace being infiltrated by a huge bomber that takes out all of our fighter jets we send with 2 machine gunes.
SS agents defending the WH lawn with ONLY PISTOLS against assault rifles and mini guns.

Do we really think that there are no assault rifles in the WH?

I love fiction, but I can't handle absurdity in a movie that is supposed to be 'realistic' (as in it isn't science fiction).

Just saw Skyfall. Above average for a Bond movie. Premise was good and delivery was there.

Just saw it, what'd you think?

I got my money's worth, there were funny parts. I liked it.

Might go see Iron Man 3 this evening if we have time - will give you Yanks an early spoiler-free review.

Apparently Michael Bay didn't use as much creative licensing as you'd think. A lot of it was true
