The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

Enjoyed this one more than the first film. Hopefully the final part is just as good.

I enjoyed both quite a bit - looking forward to this thing coming out as a box set so it can be watched in one long go

I think I just liked the pacing more with this one there wasn't any down time. Some great scenes too. Loved the confrontation with Gandalf.

i don't mind the down time at all … although i'm not as much a fan of The Hobbit as I am of LOTR (books) i do like the quiet scenes… i think there's a lot of beauty in them … and i do like peaks and valleys as far as the narrative goes ..

when it comes to this middle earth business, i'm a pretty easy mark :)

I've never read the books... I must be one of the few people who haven't. Got copies however so will have to delve into them soon.

I bet you could almost read The Hobbit in the time it would take to watch all three films.

Watched This is the End, it was pretty funny with some great cameos.

Sounds good! I've never really research the original Maniac, but now knowing Joe Spinell, from The Last Horror Film, is the lead I'm pretty psyched. :)

The Wolverine - I enjoyed this quite a bit,although some of the storyline was a bit wobbly the action made up for it.I hope Yukio shows up in future Wolverine/X Men films,really enjoyed the character. 7/10

The Eye - Being a fan of the original Pang brothers film I had actively avoided this,now due to a dull afternoon with nothing better to do I have try and forget I watched it.Poor imitation.Blah.

Glad to hear that the film is getting some positive feedback. I'm an extremely dedicated fan of the LOTR movies and Tolkien in general. I was somewhat disappointed by the first Hobbit film and I haven't seen this one yet, partly because the holidays have been crazy and partly because I'm a little apprehensive of the whole love triangle story P.J. has added. But it's nice to see that the movie is being well-received by other cinema fans and it definitely eases my anxiety a little.

Now, back to horror...I rented Louise and Her Lover yesterday because I've had some good experiences with indie horror films. This one was okay, although the storyline wasn't exactly original and/or creepy.
