Pls go.. That Hobbit barrel scene is worse to watch than it is to listen to the dialogue in the Star Wars prequels. Brb go pro camera brb pls go physics.

Lol I loved that scene for some reason. Very different from what happened in the book and they had it to prolong the movie. Battle Of Five Armies is the shortest film and has the best ending I heard.

Heard the whole trilogy has felt fragmented and the whole last film is a climax without much story or character development. I have no interest in watching it after spending 4 hours waiting for Smaug to wreck something and then fade to black ffs

Gonna watch The Hobbit in a couple days. Hype level is high...I cannot wait until I watch both movies beforehand and then finish the day with Five Armies

Gattaca
Jude Law and his love for identity change in the late 90's.
Pretty decent flick. Perfect if you want something to do in order for time to pass by.

Ethan Hawke is quite good in this. And Uma Thurman is quite gorgeous, I must say it surprised me - wonders of make-up I guess, but I totally would engage in intimate relations with that look.
She still has ugly toes though *cough* Kill Bill *cough* wiggle your big toe
My rating: 7.3/10

Still Alice

What stands out in this film is Julianne Moore's performance. It's unbelievably amazing.

This film just strengthens my point again that I don't want to grow old (not over 50 at least. I can get killed by someone or get run over by a bus when I reach that age for all I care)
Because oldage more often than not comes with terrifying things like Alzheimers.

I see it as being worse than AIDS or Cancer. So for me, a lot of the time in this movie I felt suffocated. It's so true, grounded and realistic - and I like movies of this kind - they are informative and we need them.
My rating: 7.6/10

That's exactly what I'm gonna do with my friends Both Hobbit films are on Netflix UK

So just back from Hobbit: Battle of the 5 armies.

General review doesn't require any spoilers so will only spoiler bits at the end as necessary.

Thought the movie was really good. The battle scenes were amazing. Really well directed. However the movie lacked a story. It tried to portray themes of honour and love and sacrifice and it succeeded at most of it, but it didn't really present any story for it. It was a linear movie with few shocks and twists. But it was entertaining to watch so it didn't feel like a chore.

Acting was good, as it should be considering the actors in it. Direction was good. Music was good. Action was the best part.

I don't think the hype was justified. Thought Desolation of the Smaug was a better film and battle of the 5 armies failed to surpass it.

Major spoilers

Spoiler:

Overall: 7.7/10

There really wasn't any hype for this, was there?

Hype I saw on twitter etc.

Lot of hype. A lot. In USA and UK. Hell even in Bangladesh.

Read the spoiler tag. They kept it faithful to the book. Honestly LOTR/Hobbit is not GOT, there are no shocks and twists. It's all about the journey. You gonna watch LOTR now RG?

Probably if I can find it.

The Interview release withdrawn Oh lawd ffs... Sony

We will not negotiate with terrorist, but we will accept all of their demands

Yeah it's quite a joke that whole situation. Getting bent over by North Korea I think I've seen it all.

Pathetic, really.

When I am in charge of UK/Murica I will be demanding that North Korea stop all of their anti foriegn propaganda within 24 hours or declare war.

That's the way to do it ffs, bending over backwards for these pos is pathetic

Got Gone Girl on bluray. Download sites not blocked at Uni

Will watch it within the next few years.

Agree completely with RG's assessment of Battle of the Five Armies. It was great, but just not as epic as it perhaps should've been.

What it did do is make me want to re-read the Silmarillion.
