<p>^Interesting that Winter’s Tale has “Lady Sybil” from Downton Abbey in it.</p>
<p>I just saw that- ( I had to look her up)- I think she and Colin Farrell are well cast, but I hope they have chemistry too.
Russell Crowe is sure busy,the director has worked with both Crowe and Connelly in A Beautiful Mind.</p>
<p>Kind of super happy that Zero Dark Thirty is winning all the critics awards.</p>
<p>Bombshell: Les Miserables has debuted to not very stellar reviews.</p>
<p>
No-o-o-o-o!!!
I heard it was supposed to be a real crowd pleaser – what’s not to like?</p>
<p>^ The only review I could find at IMDB was in Italian, which I can’t read (or speak, either). But it did seem to give the movie 10 stars.</p>
<p>I will have a very unhappy d if the movie disappoints. We have never gone to the movies on Christmas Day before, but she tells me that this year we have to. So fingers crossed that it’s terrific.</p>
<p>Ive been watching Hobbit week on Steven Colbert. I wasnt very excited, but Im getting there.
I think Ds are seeing it as soon as it comes out, but that doesnt mean they wont be ready to see it again at Christmas.</p>
<p>Rotten Tomatoes has Les Mis at 69% after 16 reviews.</p>
<p>Not great, but not horrible either.</p>

<p>It’s pretty bad. On Metacritic it’s at 55. Zero Dark Thirty is at 98. Awk.</p>
<p>Finally saw Flight today. Eh.</p>
<p>I really liked the indie film “Safety Not Guaranteed”. You can catch iT on demand. My favorite kind of movie: Few characters, good acting and writing, and reality with some mystical aspects.</p>
<p>What I didn’t like about Flight is that based on the previews I thought Densel Washington’s character was really a stand up guy being blamed unfairly. It turns out he is really kind of a loser.</p>
<p>Saw Lincoln last night - finally! - and thought it was excellent. It is an extremely ambitious movie and did not disappoint. Both my husband and I were moved by it’s beauty and the incredible performances of the cast. We thought it was brilliant.</p>
<p>Loved Life of Pi! Amazingly beautiful!</p>
<p>I was very lucky to see early screenings of The Hobbit (my S loved it, I’m a middling fan of the movies but thought it looked gorgeous.) Also saw Zero Dark Thirty yesterday and it was fabulous.</p>
<p>two movies:</p>
<p>live of pi
anna karenina</p>
<p>loved 'em both</p>
<p>Denzel’s character wasn’t a loser, he was an alcoholic. And without giving anything away, I like how they handled the ending…</p>

<p>^More convenient than self counting.</p>
<p>Saw Hitchcock today…really enjoyed it… Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren…can’t go wrong</p>
<p>Just saw the Hobbit. I thought it was better than reviews suggested. The action scenes were intense and prolonged. I did close my eyes at times. It did seemed more aimed at young people, as I think the book was as well.</p>
