Kinda surprised by how much I liked this, but not sure why. Directed by Brad Bird, produced by J.J. Abrams, and it has Simon Pegg and Jeremy Renner in it. Just a really good popcorn movie.

About that, the depictions of the people in the commercials seem very off-putting to me.Valigarmander wrote:Saw Tintin yesterday. It was pretty great, and the visuals were amazing. For a motion-capture film, it actually seemed to make it to the other side of the uncanny valley.

The Blues Brothers.
Glad I remembered that, the only thing that could come to mind before I looked at my recently watched on Netflix was this Troma film. D:

The Descendants
Really good indie drama-sometimes a comedy. Great performances from George Clooney and Shailene Woodley. Won the Golden Globe for best drama tonight, wouldn't be surprised if it got Best Picture at the Oscars (though it's up against the hypetrain that is The Artist)

I thought Sherlock Holmes 2 was pretty awesome in general, although I loved the character dynamics were the best part. The action is fantastic, but the minds behind all of it are the key to all of it. Many people will say that it's not true to the source, by the way, which I disagree with.
Most previous interpretations of Holmes had leant towards emphasizing what would have been considered positive character traits, but these films have actually depicted Holmes' relationship to Watson much more thoroughly and accurately, despite his more manic traits being emphasized.

Just saw The Grey. Pretty intense, a lot of good suspense, and a few jumpy parts. All the characters were surprisingly fleshed out and made you care about them. And of course Liam Neeson was great.
[spoiler]I was laughing to myself at how mad people around me were about the ending. It was one the those Sopranos-esque abrupt cut-to-black endings, but it worked well, and I liked it. I found out later that there was a scene after the credits, though, I knew I should've stayed. =/[/spoiler]

Watched Westworld recently. A seminal 70s sci-fi movie about a theme park of robots that inevitably start killing the tourists. It's better than it sounds and has a chased-by-an-unstoppable-robot scene comparable with Terminator.
Watch it before the reboot!

Went to a friend's house and saw these movies that her dad randomly rented for us.
The Hangover Part II. Pretty much the same movie as The Hangover, but I actually laughed during the original. 4/10
The Amityville Haunting. This is Asylum's take on the found-footage genre, so naturally it's mostly awful but somewhat hilarious. Annoyingly shot and slow-paced. 1/10 because not even the boobs were nice.
