Saw Fast 5 this weekend. Definitely better than the past two; I'd recommend it if you liked the first two.

 
We wtached "The Joneses" (2009-David Duchovny/Demi Moore) on cable last night. Not bad.

 
Watched "Dead Snow" this weekend, it was a nazi zombie movie, with some stupid funny stuff. Then there was the subtitiles, which weren't too bad.

 
We finally saw "Courageous" this weekend. The wife cried the entire movie. Story line was great and acting was great considering it was made by a church group.

 
I broke down and took the kids to see star wars yesterday, it's always better on the big screen, but Lucas gets an F in 3D.....

The backdrop of all the movie was in 3D, but very little else (what you expect in a 3D movie) I was hoping to see earth mauls light saber coming out of the screen and such... But oh well...

If anything my younger son thought it was cool (on the big screen)...
Finally got around to seeing this as well. Cool to see back on the big screen. Agree though that it wasn't anything spectacular in the way of 3D. Pod race was cool looking.

 
Feel like watching Fight Club tonight. It has been decided...

^^^Just watched Snatch again...one of my faves even though Brad is in it...most of his movies are pretty darn good.

"Do ya like dags?"

Saw Real Steel with the kids in the downstairs HT.

I'm pretty sure they were trying to make a retro-toy style movie (ala Transformers or GI Joe) this time based on the "Rock'em Sock'em Robots" but just couldn't call it that because the name would be too long on the movie marquee.

Anyway, they fully succeeded. This movie is everything you could imagine a Rock'em Sock'em Robot movie would be. That's all there is to say about that.

+1 though for fighting robots.

 
I'm sorry. I like big robots, especially fighting ones, but Real Steel was awful in every capacity. The robot fights were boring, and the story line and acting was so horrifically cheesy it could have made Chester Cheetoh sick.

 
I actually found it entertaining, but then again I like all 3 Transformers movies so it is what it is. The kiddos really liked it too.

 
On a separate note, really looking forward to the two installments of "The Hobbit". The previews on YouTube are pretty badass IMO.

 
Wife thought real steel didn't have enough fighting robots. She said if I take her to a movie about fighting robots she wants more fighting robots.

 
The wife and I are looking forward to the GI Joe film set to be released in June. She will see ANYTHING with Dwane Johnson in it (except the Tooth Fairy).
