The Dressmaker

Billed as a "revenge comedy," though the two never quite really came at the same time: it was more like: comedy, comedy, comedy---and then a switch to revenge.

It doesn't matter, though: this movie gets high marks just for being DIFFERENT.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

Barely watchable, due to its unending display of extreme beard fetishism.  

On the positive side, it was mostly intelligible, and it really made me want to go back & watch the original version of the film.

Cloud Atlas

Between Tom Hanks trying to act to the degree that shoppers at the Target next door could feel it in their molars, and the neo-blackface makeup attempts, this movie is a lot to try to take in.

By the time the guy from The Matrix--the one who is not either Lawrence Fishburne or Keanu--showed up trying to play an Asian dude, we bailed.

Captain America: The First Avenger

Oddly, a lot of Star Wars references here--Endor, anyone?

I'll say this: as far as superhero movies starring Chris What-his-face go, I sure prefer this to the ones where we are supposed to take Jessica Elbow seriously.
