"Trapped in Paradise" with Nicholas Cage. Strangely amusing.

Life of Pi. Well worth seeing, though I have to say I didn't get the ending at all.

The Hobbit (part I). Good, but really long. Tried to hard to be an action flick - the escape from the goblins made me think of that damn Indiana Jones movie with the mine carts... but the music was great, the dwarves were fantastic, Radagast the Brown was a hoot, and all in all it was a nice compilation of work.
I already mentioned the other movie I saw, Les Miserables, in another thread. I thought it was fantastic. Whether you knew he musical or ven the story or not, I think you'll appreciate the film.

Saw the Hobbit last night, and quite frankly, it's a piece of crap. Peter Jackson has really gone over the deep end with this one. It's far too long and stuffs in far too much crap that doesn't serve the story, just so Jackson can link it to the LOTR trilogy, instead of letting it stand on its own. This always should've been one family friendly movie and not so closely linked to the trilogy. Bilbo gets very little in the way of character development until his forced actions during the climax. The worst offenders are the cartoonish goblins and orcs that are renders in horrible CG instead of makeup, the goblin king comes off as horribly unbeleivable, while most of the action set pieces are set against fake backdrops. Hell, even the fire in the fireplace in Bilbos house was CG, it's just a horrid misuse of the technology that takes away from the grounded realism that the LOTR trilogy had with it's miniatures and make-up. Overall, it's a mess of a movie that doesn't have me excited at all for the next two films.
