The Grey. not too bad at all , scared the hell out of  my wife at times  ??? ??? ???
definitely watch again 7/10

machine gun preacher - different, never heard of this subject till i watched the movie.
A mean chap. watch the credits and actually see S. Childers talk about why he does it. I do believe there is a you tube vid about this subject going around at the moment.Apparently it went viral over night. 6/10

The Double. failed for me. you just knew what was coming and who was what. 5/10

One For the Money - totally fail on many levels 3/10

Haven't watched this yet of course, but judging by the comments about it so far I doubt I ever will:

http://arts.nationalpost.com/2012/03/21/john-carter-may-set-guinness-record-for-biggest-box-office-flop-of-all-time/

Why then does it get a 7.1 on IMDB?

 ::) i fancy a viewing of j.carter but not at the cinema too expensive.

we bought a zoo - a pleasant family film and worth a watch.a little more humor would have been nice but still a pleasant movie. 8 / 10

Zodiac - a long movie and too be honest i was that drunk near the end i fell asleep. :-[

Bad box office performance doesn't necessarily mean bad movie. Shawshank Redemption was a flop, as was "It's a Wonderful Life". Cutthroat Island lost a pot-load of money, as did Sahara: I (and a couple of others) enjoyed both of them.

Does that fly in the face of the Barnum idea then?

Highlander supposedly didn't do too well either but became a cult classic.

they spent a lot and hoped to make a lot.Trouble is times are hard and ticket prices are higher.

They released the movie at a funny time , why not target Easter with children off school and offer vouchers for discount.

Ghost Rider:Spirit of Vengeance. what can i say? not that good, but didn't expect it to be, i have a soft spot for movies like this, i used to love the Ghost Rider comics when i was a kid. pretty good effects, good movie to watch when you don't want to have to think much, maybe 6/10.

After about the 6th sitting, I finally managed to get all the way through the remake of The Thing.  Personally I thought it may have even been better than the first for memorable moments, but it wasn't as novel of course so it was ultimately just a kill-fest.  Gotta give ot 7.5/10 though.

My sister said she was surprised at how good the John Carter film is.  She said you wouldn't expect a film with a name like that to be worth watching.

Now Zoidberg is the popular one!

That's encouraging as I'd hate to let a CGI film pass me by.

The Three Musketeers  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1509767/
Although every major acting roll is taken up by known reputable actors / actress I found it
very disappointing . Way too much money thrown at it just wooden. 4/10
I still prefer the earlier versions http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072281/ .

XT wasn't that impressed either:

The movie is not that good but the costumes are breathtaking.

Might give it a bash one rainy, Sunday afternoon then.

It's not boring. Logan Lerman's haircut is a bit disturbing though.  ;D
