I've been blocking out all these Lego Movie reviews. I don't think I can make it. There's nothing to build upon.

"A house divided is much better than this place!" - Abe Lincoln, Lego Movie. Not the best quote ever,
It's my favourite cameo in the entire movie, purely because he's voiced by Will Forte, who also voiced Abe Lincoln (or the teenaged clone of him, at least) in Clone High. I was grinning like crazy every time he spoke, even though he only has two lines throughout the entire movie.

A Streetcar Named Desire Anything old and involving Vivien Leigh is good with me, and since this contained both, I loved it! Not to mention Marlon Brando was pretty hot back in the day. Honestly, it caught my attention. Blanche's character was fascinating to me, and she really kept the plot going. Suprising and dark ending. 9.2/10

It seems to be some sort of a trick link, where it only shows up if you actually browse to the source site. Here's a copy: That was from later in his career. Here's a pic from his earlier days:

The Hunger Games: Catching FireI enjoyed the first one, and actually thought this was much better. All the revolution stuff was pretty sweet and the part where Katniss fucks up the entire arena with the arrow was awesome. Not a huge fan of all the romance drivel (seriously, that dark-haired guy is a pointless character) but otherwise I found this really enjoyable. The story's intrigued me enough that I might even see the next one at the cinema.

[sigh] We don't get the Lego Movie (nor the Muppet Movie) here till midway through next month. What I did get to see (via an advance screening) was… Mr Peabody & ShermanYeah, I thought it was pretty good, not great, but definately above average. Though maybe if I was familiar with the source material I might have got more out of it. One minor gripe is when the movie calls out the Washington/Cherry tree incident for being apocryphal after just having shown us Marie Antoinette say "let them eat cake" even though that is equally apocryphal. (Rousseau wrote a book, when Marie Antoinette was only 12, attributing the phrase to 'a great princess'.) Grade: B–

Contracted This isn't a new movie, just something I stumbled across on Netflix—but here's a review anyway. I certainly enjoyed this, though it's not something I would rematch, and certainly not for everyone. Kind of a medical drama: an individual has fallen sick, and the movie is centered around finding out what's wrong with her. They do a very good job of introducing her symptoms, and her fear and desperation is very well portrayed. The movie isn't extremely violent, but has some scenes with blood and other potentially nausea-inducing stuff, and later on gets fairly intense. I say it's worth a look. It's not long and the suspense is pretty well done. All the emotions she went through, the transformation and the person she becomes, they're all things that I can understand and empathize with. Plot-wise, the movie isn't great, or even good, but if you are more interested in a character study, I would definitely recommend this. It has a terrible ending.

Veronica Mars10 year reunion of this cast and characters (thanks to Kickstarter). It was fun to see basically an extended episode arc of a long dead TV show with the same wit, style and detective work of the former high school PI (Kristen Bell ) B+Now let's Kickstart Firefly gorammit!

I watched Gravity over the weekend. Excellent film (aside from some clunky dialogue, and the ridiculous unlikelihood of anyone surviving that ordeal, buuuut I digress) - the visual effects were astounding, the atmosphere was incomparable and the level of tension was phenominal. Definitely one of the most compelling films I've watched recently... I also LOVED the sound editing (how the volume would raise/lower depending on characters' proximity to the camera, or just cut out completely during smash cuts, etc.), which is generally something you don't really notice in this medium, but it really stood out here. 9/10Now let's Kickstart Firefly gorammit!
But there won't be any Wash.

RushSo... I pretty much never watch films like this, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy this. It was great seeing the relationship between the two main characters progress and I like how the film didn't really show any bias to either of them. And since I had no idea it was based on a true story, it made it kind of tricky to guess what was gonna happen. Thor James beating the shit out of that asshole journalist was the best part.
I also LOVED the sound editing (how the volume would raise/lower depending on characters' proximity to the camera, or just cut out completely during smash cuts, etc.)
I can't remember if I mentioned the sound editing in my "review" of Gravity, but if I didn't, I'm just gonna say that I totally agree with you on that Beamer. It was probably one of my favourite aspects of the film, and that's saying a lot. If I did mention it, feel free to not read this last part. Or unread it. Whatever.

Captain America: The Winter SoldierWell that was a lot of fun. Unlike Iron Man 3 and Thor 2, this felt much more tied in with the Avengers (In that it had quite a few returning characters). There were a lot of twists and crazy stuff going on, and the ending was pretty awesome. Nazi-computer brain man was pretty stupid, and so was the way the characters managed to cut through the floor of a moving car ( ) without anyone noticing but otherwise this was a solid sequel.
