Last night I watched Hellraiser for the first time. It was not at all what I expected - I didn't really know what to expect, I honestly didn't know much of anything about the Hellraiser movies going in. I'm not much of a horror movie person, so I had to look away from the screen a lot but I appreciated the young female lead and ( cut for vague spoilers re: a 28 year old movie I guess )

Saw Man of Steel. I haven't read any reviews, but I hear after some initial positive buzz the reviews haven't been great? For my money, I thought it was pretty solid. I'm fairly certain I liked it better than Iron Man 3, at any rate.

Going through my movies tag, and I'm realizing that although I had no specific The Fast and the Furious movie tag (fixed that now!), almost every post I've ever made about a TF&TF film is tagged "things that make me happy". So, that probably tells you all you really need to know ;)

- Out of curiosity, did anyone else see and not love Silver Linings Playbook? I am clearly in the complete minority, but I wonder if it didn't work for anyone else.

-> I notice that LJ's splash page "poll of the day" was last posted a month ago, so honestly, LJ, how do you expect the rest of us to keep trying?

-> I actually don't have much of anything to report, except I am very pleased to have seen three of the Best Picture nominees without even trying! (Argo, Beasts of the Southern Wild, and Les Miserables) ( Read more... )

So I kinda slipped up and have been bit by the tumblr bug. I didn't think anything of it at first, as I have dabbled in tumblr in the past when I’m feeling particularly fannish about something, so I thought it would pass. But kinda not so much :X There's just something very compelling about a place where you can look at pictures of Berenice ( Read more... )

Skyfall-related mind dump! So I can see it again, and have room for more incoherently expressed feelings and thoughts ;) I wish Craig were enjoying his ride as Bond as much as I am. I was so excited at the prospect getting as many as eight Craig Bond films, and now it seems as though we'll be lucky to get four. I just wish we could have nice ( Read more... )

NOW ACCEPTING: ( major spoiler inside! -- )

Judge Dredd 3D has a 100% fresh rating.

It could! go! all! the! way!

If Lionsgate would just release it in 2D, I would be such a happy camper.

I really want to see Sleepwalk With Me! (check out the trailer here) It's not screening anywhere in MD (yet - it just opened), but DC's got it on one screen, at least ( Read more... )
