Star Trek: Into Darkness.  Better than the last one, easily, and kinda makes me want to see a series set in the New Trek universe.

It would be good to wash away the bitter afer-taste of Enterprise.  I doubt it'll happen though 'coz I imagine that'd be one expensive-ass show.  Or if it did happen it's be disappointing because it couldn't live up to it's glossy movie brother.

Youre next: awesome horror. Had cassie from home and away. Great actor, still painfully orange.

12 years a slave: very good, but everybody in it was either whispering, crying, groaning or yelling. I only got like...a quarter of the script

The thing that's put me off seeing it is that it seems like one of those obvious Oscar-bait movies (the release date adds to that enormously), and one whose Oscar baiting appears to be working.  I know it's irrational, but I just find that kind of annoying and it often turns me against a movie regardless of it's actual quality.

I got Disney's Robin Hood on Blu Ray to go with my brand spanking new Blu Ray player.

...Damn I forgot how many boob/cleavage jokes were in this movie XD

I watched From Up on Poppy Hill(2011 in Japan, 2013 in North America) and The African Queen(1951) the other day.

From Up on Poppy Hill - Very enjoyable, it holds the standard I've more or less come to expect from Studio Ghibli, and the soundtrack is amazing! The inclusion of period-appropriate (1960s!) music helped. If I have one criticism I'd say it very quickly turns into an 80s film, if that makes sense. It kinda had the standard "a bunch of kids band together to save something" plot that I notice seemed to be popular in the 80s and 90s.

As for The African Queen, well, it's considered a classic for a reason. The acting is wonderful, the location is gorgeous, it even manages to be in colour! The accents are kinda silly sounding though, and I don't know who had the idea to try to pass Bogie off as a Canadian, but it... didn't work. I very much enjoyed this movie though. Still... they make a movie called "the African Queen", actually go to the trouble to film it in Africa, in Technicolor no less (I saw a picture of what the cameras used to look like, they're ENORMOUS)... and they make it about two white people. I can't help but feel there's a missed opportunity in there somewhere. Then again, it was adapted from a novel, so I dunno.

Erm... I forgot. So, 2014 preview post.

Looking forward to:

Captain America: The Winter Soldier - wasn't especially looking forward to it until the trailer. Throw in how Marvel Phase 2 has generally been brilliant and I'm all for it. Still two and a half months away though.
Transcendence - it keeps turning up everywhere I look, so it's nominally on the list.
Godzilla - can it be as bad as the '98 one? Probably, if we're honest.
X-Men: Days of Future Past - the X-Men films have threatened to get a lot better since they moved on from Magneto. He's a great villain, but for fuck's sake, there are others.
Edge of Tomorrow - I always thought Groundhog Day needed more shooting-
Jupiter Ascending - and that space opera films needed more wacky.
Interstellar - another one on the list, although I still know nothing at present.

Guaranteed to suck:

Amazing Spider-Man 2 - pointlessly carried-over subplots, lacklustre first film, 273 villains, the kind of furious backtracking on details (e.g. costume design) that shows how little faith the studio has - what could go wrong?

Laugh at Box-Office Numbers:

Atlas Shrugged Part III - it's a commercial shruggernaut.

Lol...for a bunch of guys who claim to worship the free market, they sure don't get the hint:  the free market has spoken.  Nobody wants to see your crapass movies based on a crapass book.

Olympus Has Fallen.

It was dumb, really really dumb.  And not in the good way.  Plus, the CGI FX were Assylum levels of terrible.  Mind you, taking the piss out of it with my brother was quite good fun.

Sweet Jesus, that movie. It's a perfect example of how to make a movie: do the opposite of what it does, every time.

According to IMDB, they even had the doctors in the DC hospital scenes wearing scrubs with the prominent logo of the hospital in Louisiana where they filmed. It was made dumb.
