I'm the complete opposite. I LOVE the movie theater. The big screen, big sound, crowds, line ups, whatever. It's all part of the experience and I like it all. It's one of the few urban activities I would miss if I moved to some tiny hamlet somewhere.
Taken was decent, Taken 2 was LAME. They just tried to cash in, and the performances were all called in.
Recent movies:
Zero Dark Thirty. Don't care about accuracy, it was gripping as hell. Chastain proved she's more than a stunning red head.
Argo. Yeah, again, a bit of a US rah-rah movie, but great acting (even Affleck!) and great directing brought it home.
Silver Linings Playbook. A great date movie. Thought Jennifer Lawrence was going to be too young for the part, but she was good.
Side Effects. Thought it looked formulaic, but was pleasantly surprised. Jude Law is no longer the "pretty boy" and is a decent actor. Rooney Mara was excellent at "acting broken."
Warm Bodies. Okay, we saw it 'cause the kids were at it, and there wasn't anything left. Well, call me surprised. A cute zombie-fied take on Romeo and Juliet, it had some innovative moments and decent acting. No Oscar contender, but way better than I thought it was going to be.
Identity Thief. I think Melissa McCarthy is hilarious, and she is, but the whole movie conspired to make her unfunny. She managed to save a couple scenes, but otherwise, this is easily one of the worst movies I've seen in a while.
Django Unchained. Don't go if you're easily offended. Go if you love Tarantino movies. He's back, and it was good. Like in Basterds, Christopher Waltz stole the show, but there were other fine performances.
Snitch: Okay, the trailer makes it looks like a Micheal Bay explosion movie, but it has Susan Sarandon in it. Well, she must have needed a new jet or something, 'cause there was no reason for such a fine actress to take a part in this stinker. The Rock, sorry, Johnson, was miscast big time. Stupid movie based on what was an interesting true story ad could have been a decent movie. Ruined. Save your money.
