  1. Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World.

     

    Actually a pretty cool movie. I think it paints a fairly accurate (if a bit comical at times) portrait of how people would really act if the earth really was destined to be hit by a giant asteroid that we couldn't stop. My favorite example of this is the main character's maid who comes back week after week to clean his house even when he tries to fire her twice.

     

    The ending was a bit...off I think. I dunno. I found it hard to believe Penny could make it back and find Dodge in time even if she would actually have turned around the plane (which I don't think she would have). I guess what I'm trying to say is it felt like a forced reunion for the sake of having a "happy ending" right before the asteroid hit.

  2. Just watched Silver Lining Playbook. 

    It was a weird movie about two messed up people but it all came together in the end.

    I was expecting a comedy and what I got was more of a dark and slightly quirky romance.

    I liked it though. Definitely a movie you have to be in the mood for and invest a little time in because it's a bit offputting at first.

  3. Just watched Skyfall

    Loved it

    I liked that it was more about BOND and less about the "flavor of the year" mastermind who's trying to take over the world

    Daniel Craig is still one of my least favorite Bond's but for once I didn't actually hate him in the role

    Only thing I missed was some cool gadgets

    I get what they were going for though

    It's Bond's 50th anniversary and they were paying homage to where the series came from by giving the film some throwback references but still

    They could have given him something more than just palm reading gun I think

  4. Just played a demo for an indie game called Teleglitch

    LOTS of fun

    So much tension just walking through a door or around a corner

    Not really knowing anything about the story (if there really is one) and not caring regardless

    Reminds me of some old school games I used to play

  5. I just got back from The Hobbit

    I happened to watch it in 3D because my uncle had never seen a 3D movie before and wanted to try it and I was pleasantly surprised

    The 3D effects didn't feel gimmicky or forced like most movies except in like one part but I didn't mind

    The movie itself was awesome as expected

    The beginning was kind of...ehhh I didn't really like the prologue stuff and felt it tied in badly but once the movie really got going it was fine

    My favorite thing was the goblins

    I was extremely pleased that they looked very different from orcs as that is something I was concerned about

    I'd say they nailed it

    Can't wait for part 2!

  6. Jirio Dreams of Sushi

    Its a documentary... And I highly recommend it.

    I thought about watching that

    Did you like it a lot?

    Well, just to note, its in japanese (english subbed) and its about an 85 year old sushi cheff,that won a 3 star michllin(sp) award. His resturant seats only 10, and costs $300+. Its basically a documentary, of what they do, and, in some sense, how they got where they are today. This guy... My god. if he had come to america, he could have done anything. :wink:

    I used to watch quite a bit of subbed anime, not a problem.

     

    Snow white and the huntsman. Two hours of my life I'll never get back... :sad:

    I know right?

    It had some small potential in certain areas but those were totally overshadowed by...the movie...

    I can only say that I didn't regret it so much because I had reduced price tickets

     

    Hunger Games. The only redeeming factor was the fact that it felt like it stole four hours of my life, but in reality it only stole two and a half. So there's that...

    Really? Everyone always tells me how amazing it is when I ask

  7. What I find interesting is that it wasn't even the first alien

    The video I watched on youtube showed a close up of that mural in the one room and pointed out that an alien is depicted there

     

    So yeah what we saw is not the first alien and it's not the one Ripley & Co encounter

     

    I'm thinking that there is going to be a sequel to Prometheus to really tie together the "prequel" story to the Alien franchise
