I've never liked the concept of making a film in 3D. Usually they're poorly executed and distract from the rest of the film, and not only that, the novelty of such gimmickry, even when well done, grows stale quickly.

Then there are movies that are re-released where it's just not necessary, like a critically acclaimed film such as The Lion King or a almost universally loathed film (and token of disappointment) like Star Wars [Episode I]: The Phantom Menace.

^^ I went to see the re-release of Jurassic Park in 3D a while back. There were a few scenes where it worked out, but for the most part it was just distracting. Without the proper camera work, 3D isn't very effective.

I was mostly just happy to see the film remastered in HD.
Still can't think of a signature a year later.

I watched "Beverly Hills Ninja" for the first time in almost twelve years.

I regret nothing.

Never regret a Chris Farley movie; only regret what fame did to the man.

I hate 3D movies, they seem to give me a fucking headache. If there is any movie fad I want to die, it's the whole 3D movie fad. And no hot actor/actress can save it in my eyes.

Some times a different type of 3D is easier on eyes but more than that it seems to depend on the viewer. I find that well done 3D effects are a nice gimmick that may enhance the movie going experience, but I won't save a bad movie by itself.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Monsters university.  I enjoyed it though I don't see the point of it being in 3D (My wife's idea and she paid for the ticket so I wasn't going to argue). 

I do want to see Planes in 3D though.

3D is a cheap way to make more money with animation. It often fails with live action films because unless the film is filmed in 3D (which is costly and takes ages; you can lose up to 3 hours or more on a single day of shooting due to the added complexity of the cameras), you need to spend months and months doing post-production conversion that often doesn't look as good as the real thing.

With CGI films, though, it's extremely simple: re-render the masters with a split virtual camera. Bam, done. That's why they could get Toy Story's 3D re-releases out so quickly and easily. And you charge extra money for 3D tickets, so it's really a win-win.

I usually don't care much for 3D films, but I really want to see Planes in 3D after watching the review of the planes flying, where it looks like the camera is right behind the plane.

Les Miserables
Not my type of musical, but it was pretty good. Best song has to be "Master of the House"

Drop Dead Fred

One of my old childhood favorites. I had completely forgotten about it until I found it on the internet.

The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things. Came for the Marilyn Manson cameo, but really loved it for many more reasons than that.
What I used to think was me is just a fading memory. I looked him right in the eye and said "Goodbye".

sadly, they're rarely the ones in power.

Not to mention Superman was just dealing with a alien invasion, while the Avengers were dealing with a alien invasion + a temper tantrum of a god with major daddy and jealousy issues.

Against my better judgment, I tried to watch "An American Carol." I got through about the first twenty minutes or so.

This, people, is why conservatives don't make comedy movies: They're not funny. It doesn't even qualify as satire...it's just a long list of jokes belittling Afghans, Mexicans, Cubans, Michael Moore and everyone else they don't like.

You know the sad thing is that I remember seeing the trailer for that pos, and there were these old bitches in front of me at the time saying "Oh, I hope they make fun of Obama." They must be flipping their shit, now.
