The Victim- An OK movie written by Michael Biehn (Reese from Terminator) that proves he can't really write. Just about everyone involved was a producer. Acting ability made me wonder how many had worked in the pr0n industry (espetially the guy named Ron Honey or something like that, with the 70s pr0n 'stache). Worth watching the credits as they actually show pictures of everyone with their roles in the production (down to best boy). Many are shown 3 times.
Safety Not Guaranteed-Not a bad comedy, but not a knee-slapper. Interesting premise.

Watched Paranorman with junior this weekend. Great movie with enough adult humor to get some laughs out of. Some scenes may be a bit much for smaller kids (kind of spooky/creepy). I'll give it a solid 4/5!

Les Miserables - I was told that Wolverine was in it and that there was a war or something, so there might be some explosions. Armed with those two facts and being aware that it takes place in the 1800's, I was able to waive my normal "Helicopters and Explosions" requirement for good movie watching.
Wrong.
Worst movie ever. All they did is sing stuff and run around France, and then when it came time to blow something up, the dude just threatened to blow it up, but didn't actually blow it up. Oh, and spoiler, the hot chick dies. Worst movie ever.
Great chick flick though. I would have scored some points if I could have squirted a few tears there near the end, but I just couldn't do it.
I dunno, maybe some people will like it.
The trailer for "Oblivion" and "Pacific Rim" were awesome though - flying things and explosions galore!

Is Les Miserable related to Les Nessman?
Wife is probably going to see Les Mis over the weekend. I will be going to see Gangster Squad.

Please tell me that this is a joke... you really didn't know the story line or the basis before going? I am guessing you can't tell me how the movie compares to the stage production... or even the book...

Everyone knows the French just botched their revolution. They added some singing and dancing to make themselves feel better.
Per the thread title Django Unchained is a 5 star movie!

Wait, there was a play and a book? No wonder it was so horrible. Take a book, make it into a play, sing all the words, and then remove all the helicopters and explosions , equals SUCK. Look at what they did to Oklahoma (which originally had a plot line more similar to Cowboys and Aliens).Please tell me that this is a joke... you really didn't know the story line or the basis before going?

Surrey With a Fringe On Top my arse - it was a helicopter in the book.

No, ...dragons..., but that inspires me to amend the rules just slightly:
Wolverines Movie Rules: rev. 010913
Item #1 - The awesomeness of a movie is directly proportional to the number of helicopters and explosions in it. [no change]
Item #2 - For "helicopters" in rule #1, the following words may be substituted: alien space craft, giant robots, Bruce Willis, pirates, boobies, or dragons.
Item #3 - For "explosions" in rule #1, the following words may be substituted: swordfights, Kung Fu, Batman, gratuitous violence, or Mixed Martial Arts.
