What Did You Watch Today?

[TKz]

Wait, what, Skyfall was pretty much the first Craig Bond that wasn't a complete snore!

I didn't care for Casino Royale or Solace at all. They just felt like generic spy films, Skyfall actually kind of felt like a Bond film with Bond villain.

[LL!]

You're both wrong. All three a great.

[livid]

You're both wrong. All three a great.

Yeah, I'd definitely agree with this over anything else but I do think Casino Royale is the best of the bunch.

Saw Anchorman 2. It was good, but not great. Kinda wish I had waited for a group Netflix viewing or something.

[IDOL]

I'm in the same boat on Anchorman 2. I liked it but it feels like I really need a second or third viewing of it to really catch a lot of the little things I missed in the theater. That was how the first one kind of worked for me too, I didn't really appreciate it until after a couple times of rewatching it.

Wreck-It Ralph is fantastic and lovely as I'd expected.

[Hewey]

Close, Casino Royale and Skyfall are awesome, Quantum Of Solace is a middle of the pack Bond film.

[Colly]

Watched Cloud Atlas. It's an odd one but I quite enjoyed it for the most part, outside of Tom Hanks doing 'accents'. The story doesn't quite come together as you'd like, but its very pretty.

[VerbalPuke]

Wreck-It Ralph is fantastic and lovely as I'd expected.

Absolutely.

I watched Planes last night with my kids, i liked it, it was "Cute" as my wife put it.

This guy knows what's up.

And ifi agree,that tends to mean you're wrong.

Seems like a fair assessment. If I have any complaint with the movie, it's that there are lots of very cool casting, cinematography, directing, etc. choices that are actually so cool they momentarily take you out of the story. It's a minor complaint, though.

O.Russell's obsession of tracking into a close up was really, really annoying. I liked American Hustle, some fantastic acting, but considering everyone involved, you can't help but feel it could have been a bit better. Like Silver Linings, I won't understand if it's up for Best Picture/Best Director etc. Would like to see some performance recognition, though.

Also, I think Amy Adams is the best actress of her generation.

Pretty easy actually: politics. Though I can't say I can take any group of people seriously that nominates Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close for Best Picture anyways so I'm not sure it should even matter.

[Josh]

I've long been ignoring the Oscars (and lots of other award shows) anyhow, as it comes down to a night of marketing, not a genuine night of recognizing the year's best work in the field. There's some overlap, but not enough to feel worth it.

[livid]

True but it's the closest thing we've got so I'm still oddly fascinated by it all.

[Jimmy]

I'll moan about it, disagree with it etc, but I can't help but get sucked in and root for what I think deserved the win.

[LL!]

Also, I finally saw American Hustle last night and really liked it. The track-zoom thing didn't bother me at all. It fit given the kind of movie he was trying to do.

[TCO]

Just back from American Hustle, absolutely loved it. Highest quantity of amazing performances in movie I've seen in a long time.

Jennifer Lawrence is the best.

[Colly]

Sherlock. Westminster to St James Park is nowhere near 5 mins, you could walk it in that. Stupid Sherlock.

Also, that wasn't St James Park station on the CCTV. Is tv always this inaccurate?

[Ruki]

Wolf of Wallstreet is so good.

[Baddar]

A Haunted House is pretty hilarious.
