First 20-30 minutes are a bit slow as the back story is unfolded. But after that it gets very good.

Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter

It was on one of the movie channels and the g/f was curious. It was actually better than I had expected but I had very low expectations for it. It kept me entertained and had some good little twists. I can check it off the list and have no real interest in watching it again. I'd give it a 6/10.

It was free HBO and Cinemax weekend for Directv so I recorded a few movies.
This is one of them..........
i`m not really into watching movies a 2nd time either,unless they are a classic.

and again,and again and again..........Love the beiginning of that movie.

one of the greats.

I hear ya. I just watched it like 2 weeks ago when it was on. Commodus is just so fucking twisted and Phoenix makes him believable. I hate the guy from the first time you see him until Maximus shoves the dagger in his throat. And even then I don't feel like justice has been served. I love that movie.

Lockout

The dude from pricilla queen of the desert saves the Presidents daughter who got taken captive on a prison in outerspace.

How they escape the prison at the end is totally believable.
In case you plan on skipping this movie they make it through Earths atmosphere in janitor/ironman suits, eject out of those and parachute perfectly down safely on a highway.

Abe seems to be on late a lot. And I seldom skip over it. Im not much of a Vampire or action movie guy, but I really like Abe The Vampire Slayer. Not even sure why. If anyone hasn't watched it, give it a shot, you might be surprised.

Over the weekend I watched The Hobbit, Desolation of Smaug. I thought it was a bit of a bust and deviated from how I remember the book. Great special effects though. It moved us furhter down the road which is a good thing.

And I watch 47 Ronins and thought that was better than I expected but hated the ending. Overall a good movie IMO.

Gravity. Aside from the special effects it was meh. We've been getting around to seeing last years nominated pics we hadn't seen. Nebraska was good, but sorta slow. Touching and funny in an understated way. Dallas Buyers Club was good. MM was very good as was Jared Leto. 12 Years A Slave was overrated imo. It wasn't bad but I've seen Roots and other pics about the subject matter. There was nothing really new or done much differently than I've seen it done before. There were a few very good performances. American Hustle was great. My favorite of the bunch so far, by far.

Waz....I thought gravity was over the top. It was an hour 30 of one disaster after another. They should have looked to Apollo 13 for a quality space adventure gone bad done very well.

Maybe in IMAX with 3D it would have been decent. I have a 65" plasma HD and when it was over my wife & I just looked at each other like "that was it ?". At least it was only about 90 minutes. It got universally great reviews too and did great box office. I'm not a special effects geek so maybe I just didn't get it.
