Saw Les Mis today.
“As the tortured mother-turned-prostitute Fantine, Anne Hathaway gives the best performance of her career with her emotionally potent rendition of I Dreamed A Dream.”
That was the most powerful scene and song in the movie for me.

Let’s see: Never heard of it, heard of it, heard of it, never heard of it, never heard of it, heard of it, heard of it, heard of it, heard of it, never heard of it ...
Never saw any of them! What was the last movie I saw? Don’t tell me John Carter! ... I think so!

I honestly am split on Argo or Lincoln.
One was epic and the other a tale of epic proportion.
Great films. Great stories.

Left off “Act of Valor”, my own, personal favorite.
Or am I out-dated; i.e., did the film come out in 2011?

I can't comment on what I have not seen but I doubt that I'd make it very far into most of these films. Movies today are about the craft of making a film rather than telling a story. On the craft end films today are peerless. In the matter of storytelling they barely register. Craft requires learning steps. If you happen to have a particular talent mores the better. Storytelling is an art and it is not imitable, you have it or you don't. Mostly they don't. Pay attention to how many films you have to watch before someone just POINTS the damn camera and lets it sit. The more talentless the Director the more tinsel and motion you'll see. Speilberg made storytelling look easy and consequently many very intelligent but otherwise untalented people have said: “I can do that too!”

Sark Knighted sucked. I mean not just ordinary suck, but awful, painful, can’t believe I sat through the entire thing sucked.
