So Rush turned out to be much better than I expected! I'm not a big fan of F1 and didn't know about the history behind the drivers in the film, but the plot was both interesting and engaging.

Recommended if you have two hours to kill!

yeah, it was better than the spectacular now.. the main kid was too douchey for me to enjoy. perks of being a wallflower was decent too.

of the dramas i've seen recently, i'd rank them as:

1) the way way back
2) win win
3) the perks of being a wallflower
4) the spectacular now

i also saw don jon, which was decent but nothing special. it's awesome that he hooked up with julianne moore, a total milf  Cheesy

1)Seen it, good movie to watch with a girl.
2) watched the trailer - looks promising
3) looks boring but has Emma Watson  Cheesy
4) too boring for my taste
5) don jon is on my watchlist, Julianne? come on... Scarlett!  Roll Eyes

scarlet was annoying in the movie, but i guess that's her character. i liked julianne more, and i'm more of a milf guy anyways  Wink

I have too see 12 years a slave, looks like a good movie. As for Hobbit I slept through the first part, can't make myslelf watch the second one. The Bilbo's house party, which in the book is just a few pages, takes forever to watch in the movie. He made it soo boring there's not even a shadow of LOTR epicness left in this movie.

I know you probably won't see it, but the second movie has action sequences that weren't in the book, yet take up 10 minutes of screen time.

Utterly useless.
Might try it if I run out of options.

I haven't seen Don Jon or Win Win, but I agree about The Spectacular Now.

I think I'll be seeing Rush later on tonight, though About Time seems to be leaving theaters soon too... We shall see!

also saw the way way back, about an awkward teenager who comes comes of age and learns to open up a bit more.

I got to see The Way Way Back a couple of months ago and was really surprised. I was expecting absolutely nothing and ended being a great coming of age story.

the hobbit 2 was whatever.. not horrible but not mindblowing to me. the story was dragged out to make some extra $$$ anyways.

i recently saw win/win.. it's a good-feeling drama with paul giamatti and amy ryan. i like that movie better. also saw the way way back, about an awkward teenager who comes comes of age and learns to open up a bit more.

Trust me, I'm not a fan boy. I've seen all of his films and beyond LOTR, Braindead is his most fun. Heavenly Creatures is pretty good too if you're looking for a twisted drama with a young Kate Winslet.

Prisoners was similar, but much much better than Lovely Bones.

The Frighteners was watchable but pretty bland.

Peter Jackson directed Prisoners?

No, that was Denis Villeneuve... But he did direct Lovely Bones (which I thought was inferior to Prisoners in every aspect)

I read The Lovely Bones and then watched the film after. Both were ok. Had no idea Jackson Directed it though.

Graavity 3D was the most recent movie I had watched in theater. Can't even describe it. Just outstanding. The 3D effects were just awesome. Nothing like any of the movies which I had seen earlier.

Makes me wish I'd seen it at the cinema now. I've only heard good things about it, well, except from Beetcoin, but he probably doesn't know what he's talking about haha.

I've not seen any of Peter Jackson's films other than KK and LOTR, but the only people who ever recommend me his earlier stuff are PJ fanboys, so I usually disregard it haha.

As for Hobbit 2, it ended up being long, boring and deprived of any interesting story. Ah, well.

No surprise there then.

None whatsoever. It's like Peter Jackson realizes that whatever he does, LOTR fans will eat this crap up.

His old style and storytelling abilities went out the window.

I'd love to see him make a low budget gory horror film.

Wasn't Peter Jackson's first couple of films low budget horrors?

Yup, exactly. If you haven't seen it yet, check out Braindead to see what I mean... It's a lot of fun.

I've not seen it, but it does look pretty budget lol.
