I watched "UP" last night it was sad in some parts but it was a good movie.

The first ten minutes or so of that movie, is still a better love story than the entire Twilight saga. Hopefully now that the last of those movies is out, it can go off in a corner and die already.

Yes it was so sad when he lost his wife though.

"Rashomon" and "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs"

It may seem like an odd double feature, but as I was watching "Rashomon" I really felt I needed to see "Snow White". Anyway, they seem to work well together.

Snow White and the Huntsman

Not too bad. The weakest point was Kristen Stewart as Snow White. The Queen was great along with the visuals.

I just can't buy the concept of that movie with that cast, the entire idea that Charlize Theron would ever be jealous of the appearance of Kristen Stewart is utterly laughable.

The cop movie by Christopher Nolan with Leo DiCaprio as the good cop, Matt Damon as the bad cop and Jack Nicholson as the mafiosso who operates them.

The Departed, by Martin Scorsese, not Chris Nolan.

I recommend watching the original Hong Kong version, Infernal Affairs, some time. It's quite a bit better.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Stewart is no Snow White.

On Sunday, I went to go see the new Lincoln biopic by Steven Spielberg.

All the critics who say that people should go see this just for Daniel Day-Lewis' performance are right.
Not only does he look like "Honest Abe", the stories he tells as Lincoln are funny enough to add a sense of light-hearted humor to the movie, along with Tommy Lee Jones wearing a horrible wig stealing scene after scene.

It had been a toss up for me between catching Skyfall or Lincoln this month; and so I settled on Bond. I'm beginning to think I should have gone with Abe.

I saw Lincoln too. Daniel Day Lewis is superb in it, indeed, and its worth seeing just for that. But, personally, I think the film is let down a little bit by its screenplay, or really by what aspects of Lincoln's life the screenplay chose to focus on. Several years ago I read the book that the movie was based on (Team Of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln) which covered Lincoln's life from before he was nominated by the Republicans to be President all the way to the end of his life. It might have made for a more confusing movie (or at least a less contiguous one) to be jumping around from one point in his life to others to find the most interesting aspects of it all, but if the film was just going to focus on one aspect of it, then personally I think the passage of the 13th Amendment, while very historically significant, wasn't really the most interesting part they could have focused on. I'm a big Lincoln buff and a big civil war buff, so if anyone should have found the movie compelling it was me, but I found myself bored at times during the film.

Also saw Flight last week with Denzel Washington. Not a bad movie but, IMHO, really not all that good.

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

Robin Hood with no Prince John but a terrific Alan Rickman as the Sheriff of Nottingham as the main villain.

We just rented Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.
For brainless, kick in the head, horror/historical drama, this is what the doctor ordered.
