We got the LotR trilogy (theatrical cut) for a fiver. I think we'll be watching Fellowship with the little one later.  Never forget what the Scripture says: "Bring a child up in the way of the Lord of the Rings, and when he is old he will not turn from it" - Hezekiah 41:4 |

Life of Pi was fantastic. One of the greatest stories ever told on the big screen.
I just saw the trailer. One of my friends praised it too but the trailer seemed like a basic family movie with cute animals. Why was it so fantastic? |

You betcha!  I'mma leave The Hobbit to his father, though. Boys bonding over adventure, and all that. |

Just finished the Alastair Sim version of A Christmas Carol, followed by the George C. Scott version; followed, of course, by the Father Ted Christmas Special.
Father Ted! Have you seen "Bless Me, Father?" Never heard of it - is it in the same vein? "Bless Me, Father" is much more respectful and very funny, especially if you were raised Catholic in the 50's...lol Any episode with Mother Kevin in it is a blast. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6YSPgdAjG0 |

In the massive post-Christmas concessions, I got Black Swan and SuckerPunch for £3 each. Looking forward to some quiet time to watch them...

The only movie I've seen is "Les Miserables", while I enjoyed it visually the singing wasn't anywhere close to the 10th Anniversary concert. Still, I did enjoy it and many scenes brought me to tears.

Just finished watching North by Northwest. I love Hitchcock and the movie was really great, but I must admit that I found the ending, where the scene transitions from Mount Rushmore to the sleeping car, a bit weird.
But overall, it was one of the best movies I have seen in a long time.

Django Unchained is great. More linear than most of Tarantino's output, but that's not a bad thing. See it if you have a decently high threshold for violence and racial slurs.

ME: Pumping Iron.
GF: What?
ME: It has Arnold in it.
GF: Well I like Arnold. Why don't you put it on the TV?
ME: Because you won't like it.
GF: Why?
ME: Because it's about bodybuilding.
GF: What?
ME: What?
GF: So it's not a movie.
ME: It's a movie. It's a documentary.
GF: It's not a movie.
ME: Ok.
GF: Why would you want to watch that?
ME: I like it.
GF: You want to be a bodybuilder?
ME: No.
GF: Good. Cause they're gross.
ME: Ok.
GF: So why are you watching it?
ME: I like it.
GF: You just said you didn't.
ME: I said I didn't want to be a bodybuilder. I don't want to play football either, but I watch it.
GF: You're weird.
ME: Some say.
GF: I'm pretty sure that anyone who has ever met you would confirm that.

There should be a movie combining all my cop shows: NCIS, CSI, Mentalist, Castle, Law and Order, and some House to mix it up.
I recently rewatched the Russian film "1613," a highly historically inaccurate but fairly entertaining film. All the unicorn symbolism was weird, though.
"The Robe" just arrived from Amazon. That'll be next.

But when I showed the movie to my children, they hated it. They said, "Papa, you usually show us great movies, but this one was terrible." So, I decided to make this fake movie poster and tell them that I had another great movie to show them. I'm goofy, I know. Selam |
