Rate The Last Movie You've Seen

I tried to get through Mononoke 3 times. I like the idea it was just so slow.

You don't like people lobbing off heads with just a bow and arrow? Maybe watch it drunk the 4th time. :P

Thinner -6.5/10- Unfortunately, I haven't read the book yet but film wasn't too bad.

10/10

One of the very best yet shocking documentaries I've seen in my entire life. Not by chance does this movie hold an average 8.4/10 rating on IMDB and a staggering 94% on RT.

The movie spreads awareness about protecting dolphins. Of course dolphin fans would support it.

The Watch 5/10

Very average and only funny in one or 2 places. Vince Vaughn performance felt over the top not quite on the level of Jm Carrey though.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

Tonight I attended an high frame rate (HFR) 3D advance screening. Solid but very familiar. It lacks the urgency, scale, and progression of The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Visual effects are some of the best out there but really felt more like a refinement of what was done before. The controversial 48 frames per second format did not bother me as much as I anticipated but I am not in love with it. I will say that it helped make the 3D really crisp, as Peter Jackson has argued. It did make some shots feel "fake" and overall the look reminded me of a BBC movie or TV show. This is one of the few films I will recommend seeing the 3D version of because otherwise you might just be bored honestly if you aren't a hardcore fan. Overall, lacked the fresh impact of the LOTR trilogy yet I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it.

SCORE: 7.5 out of 10

The higher-ups at 411mania.com asked me to write a full review of The Hobbit, so feel free to check it out here.

Vince Vaughn and Jim Carrey in the same sentence? Yeah no.

The Hobbit 10/10- It's a bit slow for the first half but man after that...pure awesomeness! Excellent movie. Loved the rock giants. I didn't see where the 48 fps was a big deal. Didn't seem unnatural at all. Only a few instances you could really noticed and that was in a scene with running water.

Here is my review of the highly-entertaining and original Girl Walk // All Day.

Looper 8/10, excellent film

But a few miss guided thoughts

The Hobbit - 9/10

Very good movie. Much better than I expected. I saw it in 48 fps 3D.

When I got used to the framerate, I can't be sure if I'm okay with it. Something about it feels "off" and I'm not sure if it's because of the newness of it. Entertainment Weekly best describes how I feel about 48 FPS, particularly when the accelerated fluidity made me more aware of unconvincing CGI and unconvincing body acting.

One thing I'm certain of, however, is that 3D is still pointless. The Hobbit incorporated it well, but I still don't like it. It just feels like a glorified cheap thrill that isn't better than 2D to begin with. TDKR in 2D IMAX was much more immersive for me.

The Hobbit - 9/10

Very good movie. Much better than I expected. I saw it in 48 fps 3D.

The added fps was subtle, but I thought it worked. When I got used to it, I liked it very much and expect it to be pushed into a new standard. The only downside is that 48 fps gives you more awareness to details due to the extra fluidity, causing any unconvincing CGI or body acting to be more obvious. That was the case for me, at least.

3D is still pointless, though. After still being bothered by it in The Hobbit, a movie that actually uses it well, I am convinced that 3D is a glorified cheap thrill and simply not better than 2D.

I couldn't have said it better myself in regards to 3d. I liked it when it first hit the scene but now it just seems like a cash in.

Does the 48fps make the movie seem like that shitty option some HDTV's come with? Motion Flow?

[Bio]

(As a side note: I updated my thoughts on 48 fps in my last post.)

ps3freak: Yeah, man. My eyes are still throbbing from seeing the movie, too.

DrDreDetox: 48 fps gives you more attention to EVERYTHING. I imagine this is because the extra fluidity heightens your senses. As a result, CGI in a live action setting does not look as convincing in many cases and any body acting that isn't totally convincing becomes more noticible (for instance, a large scale battle that normally looks serviceable throughout might cause you to catch a few spots where someone's sword thrust appeared half-baked somehow if you were to watch it again in 48 FPS). 48 fps looks good when it isn't doing these things, though, but I dunno if it's worth it.

Check out that EW article when you get a chance, too.

I was thinking that just maybe, Jackson is starting to go the way of Cameron. I understand some of the reasons for 48fps, but they're generally not for the story. Strictly for resolving technical aspects.

I have about a week yet before I'll be testing it out. I'll see how it looks then.

The Hitcher (2006 remake): 6.8/10

You know what, I'm gonna go out on a limb and defend this movie. Why? Because of Sean Bean. He really made the movie enjoyable for me. Now, this is a biased score because I have not seen the original yet, but this is my 2nd viewing of the movie on blu-ray format. The transfer looks amazing. The sound is good (especially when NIN's 'Closer' kicks in) and I love the cinematography of this film, especially the sequence where they meet Ryder and it's pure downpour, but shot so sexy.

That being said, I'm a little confused at why he needed to kill people? Is it a game? A high for him? Does he want a challenge? It's kind of hinted that he wants his victims to overcome him, but nonetheless, it feels like there could have been a lot more explained about him. I would gladly develop a character more for a remake. But Sean Bean is the perfect badass and the climax is sort of weak. I expected more and a lot of the shit that girl was put through could have been avoided if she had pulled the trigger when she had the chance to. Maybe that's why it has such a low score.

Did the original star Rutger Hauer and if so, did he have a cameo in this one?
