    You have to see this movie. Don't listen to critics...judge it for yourself.
    8.5-9/10, not 10/10. Good film, enjoyed it. Final sequence from Texas memorial/funeral service WAS 10/10.

    Child's Play, old and awesome. Amazing special effects that must have been a lot of work without computers.

    American Hustle

    Overall good acting, decent plot, but it was far too long and drawn out. Things got confusing and that was even with my full attention with it.

    The Lord of the Rings.
    I started reading the books when i was about 12-13 and have loved this epic adventure ever since.
    The movie follows the main themes very well; some things are missed but that is no surprise.
    What struck me as I watched were really two things:

    1) an epic that stresses sacrifice and the "good fight"; likely part of what makes it a great story, but a clear call to be willing and ready to take up arms;

    2) an ode to both a class divided world and a racially segregated world;

    Silly Bunny! I hear most of you say (eyes rolling to the ceiling) I am just astounded that I these ignored themes for all this time.
    Still a great story and well told; I'm just surprised how much it requires you to overlook to truly enjoy it.

    Just watched the last, two Woody Allen films and didn't like them much either:

    Gigolo was a pretty bad movie, with the humourous scenes being limited to satirizing Jews. They'd have been funny, if they hadn't been being repeated continously.

    Moonlight was better, I liked the first part, but the end was ridiculously hollywoodish. Also, it was quite a predictable movie, I had guessed the mystic's trick, since their first encounter.

    Sinister. It is sinister. Worth watching if you can get past the truly horrific first scene. A must-see if you like horror-movies.

    Ironclad, I you like brutal medieval combat, and we all do here, you will have a blast. It's not a particulary good movie but the fighting scenes are awesome.
