The Guilt Trip




Too benign & generic to hate, too benign & generic to really bother with at all.

The real point of the film that sticks with me is the "movie math" that casts an actress over 70 as a woman in her early 50s-- very distracting!

This is 40



They really have the start of something great here.

Now all we've got to do is do away with half of the family, and give the surviving cast members a story that's NOT a 2-hour steamroller of misery.

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.

Life of Pi


Missing some bits from the book that really make the story, and lacking just about everything in the way of suspense.

But if you can get all around that, it's truly enjoyable.

Silver Linings Playbook



Anyone who's sat through the preview already know this movie has something to do with dysfunction, I mean, what with the guy jogging around in a Hefty bag & all.

I think what the film points out, though, is we're every single one of us "nuts" in our own way--and football fans most of all--word.

Jab Tak Hai Jaan




Never mind the attempts at lip-synching that don't actually count as "attempts"--seriously, no nit-picking--never mind those.


There is absolutely nothing at all wrong with this movie--nothing at all that shaving about an hour off of the interminable running time wouldn't solve.
