40Cent @ the movies

They could have easily added another hour to that.

My thought exactly.

Just saw it with Jr.  Never read the book(s).  Both Jr and I felt that Thor 2 was waaaay more entertaining than Enders Game. Ok, truthfully I just count one "a" in the "waaaay more", Jr counts for the other 3 "a"s.  He was almost bored silly- and it was HIS idea to go and see Enders Game!! 

Still, a good movie; worth the price of admission.  Despite the fact that some things seemed only partially explained.  Great effects.

31 out of 40

Interesting to note that the people I saw it with saw a very different movie then I was watching.  For me it was easy to fill in the blanks.   Here's hoping for a directors cut.

I was able to fill-in some of the blanks for Jr. because I've been told the salient points of the story.  Poor little bugger was downright confounded at points.  Same with Thor 2.

Went to Free Bird tonight with the family.  It was alright.  Not great.  Not horrible.  Maybe not even worth a rental.  It certainly isn't going to become a Thanksgiving movie tradition.

I've never even heard of that one.

It's about turkeys who go back in time to prevent turkeys from being eaten on Thanksgiving.  It was decidedly lacking in more than a handful of funny moments.

I also watched The Green Lantern earlier in the day.  I know it's been out for awhile, but I'd never seen it.  It has to be one of the most mediocre super hero movies ever made.

Is it one of those Aardman claymation-style flix like 'Chicken Run' or 'Flushed Away'?

No it's a cartoon.  I was hoping for something along the lines of Chicken Run, because that is actually a pretty enjoyable movie.  My kids liked it, but they didn't love it like the Croods or oddly enough Smurfs 2.

They could have easily added another hour to that.

And you too are at least as smart as Smucks kids.

Probably the best surprise of the year was Halo4: Forward unto Dawn. On Netflix no less. The acting and writing were well beyond expectations. Like what the hell???

Ryan Reynolds movies tend to be underwhelming. The Green Lantern is an excellent example. Another, R.I.P.D., is just as 'meh.' Just finished watching R.I.P.D. this weekend and with the exception of a couple of amusing Jeff Bridges lines and occasional decent action, it was pretty predictable and mediocre. 17/40.

I watched about half of that and agree, it's a lot better than one would think.

Do the soldiers speak Hungarian like in the game trailer?
