Yeah, loved the last hobbit outing, saw it at the imax on Friday and though it rounded everything off very well.
There is no great revelation in the overall plot, which does take a little bit of a back seat, along with dialogue in favour or a lot of action, and then a bit more action to boot. The finish is great and there are a few lovely touches that pull it into the LoTR trilogy nicely. The direction is perfect and I got swept away in the scope and scale of the final battle.
No more Middle Earth, which is sad, but the exteded offering on BluRay next year will be one to look forward to. But with more Avenger, Dino's and Star Wars hitting the big screen next year I won't feel to sad.
Also watched 22 Jump St - puerile, ridiculous and very funny.

Edge of Tomorrow
Groundhog day. Even has some of the same jokes. Overall I enjoyed it, worth a watch.
Transcendence
Erm.. again, sort of enjoyed it. Wish they had kept going with the scenario they created, just a little bit longer. Why does Hollywood always HAVE to end the film with a bit of a punch up and a resolution. Why not a total humanity breakdown with a spark of hope from something. Lots of interesting ideas and tech...

Same here great family entertainment, 2 year old son glued to the screen for nearly 2 hours.
Hot Tub Time Machine
I ****ing love it. Nearly pissed myself watching this
The film sounds ****, but honestly give it a go. It's like Back to the Future but what Marty McFly should have been doing instead of flapping about getting his parents together. Another difference is that it's 1986 and the time machine is a hot tub, not a Delorean And why not? :? :lol:

Went to see Paddington yesterday with my young lad. Anyone with a child I seriously recommend this he say transfixed on it and laughed all the way through. Highly recommend is as a family film.

watched guardians of the galaxy last night, had been mega hyped so was looking forward to it. i thought it was ok, bit kiddy but it was a 12 i guess, enjoyed it for what it was and the soundtrack was cool but i found it way overated from what others had said about it. 7/10

The new hobbit, i thought it was great, finishes the trilogy of nicely, then we saw Annie, the wife liked it more than me, a modern retelling of the old film, ok i guess.
Saw The Hobbit last night. Really enjoyed it! Some of the Legolas bits (bat riding, jumping up the falling stones etc) were ridiculous though and he looked like he was in a computer game. Really over the top :roll: Otherwise great though and rounded it all off nicely. You've just got to go with the changes, otherwise it would just wind you up- actually liked the Dol Guldur bits.

Oh, man, well i already saw Bridman which was ok but no where near what it was being hailed as. Shame cos i was really looking forward to that one.
Big Paul Thomas Anderson fan so very excited about 'Inherent Vice'.
Also really looking forward to 'Foxcatcher'. Reckon Steve Carrell could win the Oscar.
'A Most Violent Year' - looks good!
The Pixar movie 'Inside Out' looks like it might be fun.
Best, post 2014 Oscars, films of 2014, for me, were:
Nightcrawler
Only Lovers Left Alive
Blue Ruin
Locke
Frank
Grand Budapest Hotel
'Ida' and 'Boyhood' also deserve mentions tho Boyhood is being massively overrated. People are focusing on the fact that the film was made over 10 years with the same cast, an amazing achievement, and not on the fact that the film itself dost really offer much and is filled to the brim with 'coming of age' movie cliches that we've seen a thousand times before. A decent movie but won't deserve the Oscar that it's going to win.

Has any seen Exodus Gods and Kings yet? Thinking about going to see and just wondering if anyone can recommend it?

Just seen The Clerks. Thought it was average at best.
Enjoyed oblivion and frozen although frozen is no Toy Story.
The Battle of 5 Armies is awesome.

I've been shafted! I went to see the Hobbit on Friday, no SW trailer. I liked the Hobbit but I'm not crazy about it. There were some really good bits and the look and feel of it was amazing as you would expect but some of the story and action was a bit all over the place and the battle and various fights at the end got a bit silly. Much prefer LOTR.
Here's a warning - DO NOT see Dumb and Dumber To!!!
Anyone who likes the original and is hoping for something at least half as funny then you will be mightily disappointed!!
My mate and I are fans of the original and the Farrelly Bros style of comedy, so we booked in advance and made a bit of a lads night, pint before hand etc.
Jesus, nothing sobers you up more than the first 20 minutes of this film. It involves the 2 main characters just talking to each other, each joke falling flatter than the next. These movies have to keep the pace up and if theres a duff joke or gag, doesnt matter - you're on to the next bit. With this, within 5 minutes you knew nothing funny was being said so 20 mins later it had pissed us off already.
The script is woeful - so much isn't funny. The funniest line is from the guy in the wheelchair at the science convention so not even delivered by Carrey or Daniels!
Very disappointed. Its probably an even less funny sequel than Anchorman 2 was to Anchorman. :roll:
