Giving it an 8/10 too. Good romcom that wasnt too over the top. Fuck the Eagles doe.

I like Daniel Day-Lewis, even in interviews he draws me in. It's weird.

Christopher, could Arnie have pulled off the Lincoln role?

Of course. Just like he pulled off Hamlet..

well sir

Well what? Are you hitting on me?

Had a go at watching Gangs Of New York. Was bored stiff after an hour. I'll try finishing it another time.

Finished it. I did get better as it went on. It was too long though, I reckon at least 30 minutes should have been cut out.

Spoiler:

Daniel Day Lewis, however, was superb.

6/10

If there is one thing I would never do is give up on a DDL film. No matter how bad it is.

Pan's Labyrinth - 5/5.

Superb film. Gripping story, good blend of a historical time period and fantasy, and masterful cinematography.

Django Unchained, was brilliant. 9.5/10

Django Unchained - 9/10

All around fantastic movie.

Death Race 3, 7/10. Was alright.

He can play anyone.

Blue Velvet - 5/5.

Man Laura Dern was hot.

Silver linings playbook 8/10 was really good but I don't know why.

Gangster squad 6-7/10 good but not amazing. Was expecting something terrible but it did its job well.

Silver linings playbook is good because its real, wasn't expecting de niro and cooper to be so good, Lawrence da gawd tho

Lawrence should win the Oscar. De Niro, unfortunately, won't because he's going up against Christoph Waltz.

Django Unchained-Good shit, Waltz was great as usual, Samuel L stole the show for me. 9/10

Silver Linings Playbook- I'd give it a 7, pretty solid film love some J-Law

Gangster Squad- Such a good film, I'd watch anything with Gosling in it. Penn was pretty good too. 8/10

I really wanna see Silver Linings Playbook

J-Law

Would be awesome if she did, thought she should've won it for Winter's Bone

Haven't Zero Dark Thirty yet but I'd be surprised if Chastain impressed me more than Lawrence. She and Cooper made Silver Linings Playbook with two very charismatic performances.

Are the Globes usually an indication of who will win the Oscars?

Sometimes. Not this year, though, I don't think. Ben Affleck wasn't even nominated for best director at the Oscars.

Maybe. The acting was awesome for sure. Bradley cooper was unexpected.


I'm prob gonna watch zero dark thirty online, no one wants to watch it because it seems 'stupid and racist'

You think that was fair? Argo was a very well done movie
