The Man Who Knew Infinity

Even though Dev Patel plays the title character, I could tell it was Jeremy Irons they were trying to get an Oscar, as the cameras started to go low & swirly as that ol' guy started giving a speech.

Now, the speech itself was hardly award-worthy, but give Irons the award, anyhow--not really for this movie, no, but because he was Scar the Lion!

The Hunger Games

I really enjoyed it; sure, it didn't fully capture the subtext of the book, but what can one do?

I guess we'll have to wait for the reboot to find out.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

It takes longer to recite the title than it does to lose all interest in the film. 

The movie does open a bit explosively, but then proceeds to open up your options to a nice, long quiet nap.

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.
