we bought a zoo

aahh, so beautiful, what a beautiful, realistic, believsble, original movie (actually based on a true story). genuinely touching, true characters, matt damon is great as always although he needs to moisturize some, years pass, you know Mr. Damon??

tinker tailor soldier spy

granted, not the best Christmas Eve movie but i like gsrry oldman and he's really good at everything he does and the story, although a little complicated for my primitive mind, seems interesting. does a great job of recapturing and recreating the imagery of the time in which it is set. good movie.

twilight

exactly what you'd expect, maybe a little better, i mean let's get real the only reason i was waiting for it to come out was for that stud muffin taylor lautner.i'm curious to see how much longer he'll retain this exquisite beauty, it seems so fragile, this guy exploded on the world scene at just the perfect precipice between teen age and adulthood.

the sitter

it's not emetic, i mean you can get through it but, give me a break, now that the guy has lost all the weight and is borderline sexy, i can't accept him as his fat self, i'm sorry but what were they waiting for to release it??

the muppets

unexpectedly good, a real labor of love, Mr. Segal nicely cast, good story, funny, fast-paced, a beautiful resurrection of the muppets for a new generation

the girl with the dragon tattoo

beautiful, better, much better than the original, just enough hollywoodesque to be a beautiful movie but no so much that it betrays the atmosphere of the country in which it is based. beautifully cast, just a good, good movie, see it!

the descendants

ugghh, de-pres-sing...

the darkest hour

as far as the story goes, yet another piece of boring, carbon-copy hollywood shit. what IS novel about this movies is the magnificence of the moscow cityscape which is uniquely beautiful and magnificent. i mean you can see it but it's horrible.

the artist

ahh, what a breath of fresh air, what a unique masterpiece, don't miss it, it's scintillatingly brilliant.

sherlock holmes

beautiful, thrilling as much as the first, the protagonist is brilliant as holmes, watson is equally good, moriarty is believably menacing, the story is naturally excellent and the undercurrent of homoerotic tension is humorous. see it!

new years eve

just a stupid, money grabbing miss-mash of celebrities. you won't miss much if you skip it, really.

J edgar

kind of white-washed rendition of the man, kind of more family-friendly than reality probably, an attempt to portray a possibly decadent story as a great homoerotic love affair. I don't really buy it but then again I was touched by the fact that these two guys had such a lasting relationship and supposedly never missed a dinner together.

arthur christmas

forgettable, boring, annoying, tries to put a new spin on a famliar...but fails! the control center concept is kind of cool though, and that's probably because I respond to womb symbols.

my week with marilyn

thought provoking regarding the nature of true talent and stage presence, marilyn was brilliant in front of the camera, she conversed with her audience through it, olivier represented the past in acting plus he had probably lost his brilliance when he embraced (?) his homosexuality

hugo

gorgeous movie, prodigious use of color, especially blue and red. I saw it in 2D, I saw it in 3D, it's a masterpiece either way. Congratulations Mr. Scorsese!
