Picked up The Giver this evening and watched it with the family. We all really enjoyed that one. 7/10.

I'll try to get to the Museum'... Hobbit in a couple of days...
What's the Giver about ?

by **SithTracy** Tue Dec 30, 2014 3:23 am

Giver is about a controlled society... It was interesting and worth a look.

Watched The November Man. Not bad, decent action flick and story. 6½/10

by **Alby** Fri Jan 02, 2015 4:44 am

watched about 5 mins of it so far... if nothing else on I might watch...

by **Alby** Sat Jan 03, 2015 10:24 am

Absolutely stinking hot today.... did nothing outside.
Watched November Man.

Spot on with the score Tracy. 6.5/10 I'll watch it again sometime...

by **SithTracy** Sat Jan 03, 2015 10:52 pm

Watched The Equalizer (staring Denzel Washington) this morning. Really enjoyed that action flick. 7½ stars on that one.

Well... Arrived home a short while ago from watching the 3rd Hobbit movie...somewhat dissappointed.
Look... a great action piece. Not the ending we were hoping for though... the weakest of the trilogy.

I felt they could've done this in 2 movies not 3.

I will wait for the extended version and watch the Hobbit tril. then LOTR.

7/10 ...and I'm being generous

Let me know how you guys feel after watching.

I'm going to read the book now.

Have not made it to the theater yet, but now I am kinda bummed. For xmas, we got the extended edition of Desolation of Smaug but have been interrupted by phone calls or visitors when we put it on... Oh well... I do want to see it on the big screen.

by **Alby** Sun Jan 04, 2015 9:31 pm

Tracy,
You do need to see it on the big screen.
It will give answers to what happens in LOTR. Don't let me sway you. It's a really good movie. I'm simply comparing it to the others.

Watched a movie this AM that surprised me; hit me off guard... had no knowledge of it going into it but came away with every moment of it on my mind. A surprise worth watching. William H. Macy's directorial debut: Rudderless.

8/10 for me. Very good.

by **SithTracy** Sun Jan 25, 2015 4:27 am

... and tonight, the wife and I saw the final Hobbit film. It was worth seeing on the silver screen.

Now a break from the Movies for a bit until May... Age of Ultron!

by **SithTracy** Sat Jan 31, 2015 9:33 pm

Picked up a rental and watched A Walk Among the Tombstones. Not great, not bad... Held my interest, but it kinda fell flat. 6/10

The Hundred Foot Journey

Good movie guys. Funny, touching.
An indian family settle in a small French village and open resteraunt across the street from a french one run by Helen Mirim
.
Watched it a few times. Your wives will thank you for it.

7/10

2 Movies: John Wick and The Equaliser.
John Wick: Revenge upon revenge... Keanu Reeves and and other well knowns in this one. Gave this a 7/10
The Equaliser: Denzel Washington. A good edgy film Won't gave away the plot. Good fighting and gunplay 6-6.5/10

Both very worthy of your time. Will I watch them again??.... absolutely!
A couple of guilty pleasure movies for me.

I liked Equalizer more than John Wick. For me, I would reverse your ratings... felt they were similar genre movies, but Denzel's had the better story.

Don't have a problem with that at all Tracy. Very close...

I hear they are looking at sequels for both.

by **Alby** Fri Mar 13, 2015 12:54 am

Whiplash...
8.5/10
Had me glued to the screen for the entire movie. even found myself leaning forward on occasions.
It's about a young drummer in a music conservatory... the ups and downs etc. Not what I expected... it was better. Being a jazz lover made it better I suppose.
Cool movie.

by **Alby** Mon Mar 23, 2015 9:43 pm

Big Hero 6
For an animation.... Bloody good movie !
Good storyline..Both funny and serious bits
7/10

by **leseil612** Tue Mar 24, 2015 10:47 pm

Saw both those films Alby I agree both are damn good entertainment.

by **Alby** Wed Mar 25, 2015 12:26 am

G'day Les,
Just a side-bar mate...
Finally pulled up stumps... No more cricket for AL Pal...

by **leseil612** Wed Apr 01, 2015 3:42 pm

I guarantee that half way through the season you we be sorely tempted to change your mind. I still miss it now, strangely I have not missed soccer as injury finished that sport for me but I still do miss cricket.

by **Alby** Fri Apr 03, 2015 9:50 am

I'll tell you about it on the Sports thread..

by **SithTracy** Mon Apr 06, 2015 12:49 am

Watched a couple this weekend after we returned home from our spring break vacation.

The Imitation Game - Surprisingly good. 7/10

Interstellar - Amazing! 9/10

by **Alby** Mon Apr 06, 2015 8:21 am
