Matt, ITA we saw it last night and loved it. It was charming and sweet. I'm glad it won Best Picture because I would not have been able to convince my husband to see it otherwise. I have to say that Uggie is quite the actor too.
That's my girl, large and in-charge. Okay, teensy-weensy and in charge.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Finally watching Winter's Bone.
Oh. My. G-d. This movie is insanely good. Jennifer Lawrence is blowing me away, as is John Hawkes. Hawkes is blindingly good. The best I've ever seen him. And he's almost impossible to see under the character.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So, who's seen Project X?
No, seriously. I want a trusted opinion.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I haven't, but I do like this review:
Not to stoop to hyperbole, but Project X might very well be the worst movie ever made in the entire history of cinema.

From the previews I have the feeling it would be much improved if it turned out to be the Cloverfield sequel and all the kids featured end up being stepped on, eaten, or exploded after they're bitten by monster lice.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
that's what I thought happened from the previews until last week when I saw an extended ad.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just watched the Jonathan Ross with Tom Hardy on (man, he must be an unpredictable interview), and he describes seeing Christian Bale for the first time. He (Tom) was pumped, and thinking he could totally take him.
Then he gets kitted out as Bane, and Batman walks on set--"10 feet tall and 8 feet wide" and he thought, no, he didn't know how he could do it after all. He joked he thought he was getting the TV Batman in the grey tights, and him, him he could take.
Given how much ass he kicked so effortlessly in The Warrior, that was pretty nice of him to say.

I finally saw Hugo today at our local second run theater. What an amazing film! I think it may end up being one of my first blu-ray purchases when we finally get our player hooked up.
Was that in 3D? Because Hugo is hands down the best use of 3D I've ever seen. Well beyond Avatar or any of the animated movies I've seen in 3D.
I get the feeling that Scorsese has been dying to make a 3D movie since he saw the ones he saw when he was a kid.

I'm catching up on the superhero movies before The Avengers comes out, so I'm watching Thor right now, and I have to say: did they do something to his eyes in post? Because, DUDE. So blue.
