That's a trick question. There hasn't been anything worth seeing in a long time. At least not by my standards anyway. You?

my recommendation for everyone would be

in 30 seconds or less.. when I was getting my drink before the showing, a kid I would say... high school age, walked past me and said, "30 seconds, is completely lame!"

So after about two minutes of deciding if I should just run and ask for a refund right then or there or test it myself.. I walked into the show....

I'm really glad I did because boy did I laugh! I would say... do not take a child under the age of 17... I would imagine most of the language would be offensive towards them and completely inappropriate but its hilarious!

So.. go watch it! If you seen it.. give me your input about it!

Crazy Stupid Love

I was bored out of my skull. My wife loved it. These kind of movies she just loves.
She also really enjoyed The Help

I did not see Help. She took her daughter... on my request not to drag me along. I will most likely watch it once it comes on DVD.

The Thing (2011) (http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i266/Chiprocks1/Star%20Ratings/HTL_03star.gif)

I have mixed emotions. It’s not as bad as I was lead to believe. This was a well done movie with tension throughout. But that’s probably because of the premise behind the story “Who Goes There?”. It’s hard to beat a classic and despite calling this a prequel, this has all the markings of a remake. There are simply too many scenes that mimic Carpenters 1982 film. I will tend to agree with a lot of reviews, the CGI was overused and practical effects would have added to tension. Some scenes I should have been frightened, I was instead looking closely at how they did the graphics. I would say one of the biggest problems is indifference to the characters. We never get to know them like the ’82 version. I would suggest that key mistake in making this version just mediocre at best. I still recommend it. It wasn’t great, but who can deny comparisons against one of the best movies evah
