Loved The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Brilliantly edited, with beautiful art direction and costume design. Everyone was great in it, especially Henry Cavill and my man Hugh Grant. Fantastic use of music, consistently hilarious yet serious when it's called for, and all the characters are impeccably handled (and played/cast). Really wonderful movie.

I can't wait for the sequel to be worse so people will finally shut the fuck up about the writers of Prometheus. It's going to be a great day.

Am I the only one who genuinely enjoyed Prometheus?

Prometheus was fucking terrible. Lazy Christian mythology. Boring, convoluted story. Shitty dialogue. Over the top score. Generic set designs. And some terrible action sequences.

This is a pandora'a box that I promise you don't want to open. Just nod politely and move on the the next thing.

Man, this sucked. Katniss might be the least interesting protagonist I've ever seen a movie. Obnoxious make-up and costume design. Annoying direction and editing (handheld hasn't bothered me in a long time but this went way too far). Completely empty on a thematic level (the dystopian premise is not an effective allegory for anything, which is baffling). Josh Hutcherson is terrible. It's as grim and depressing as a holocaust movie, but without any historical or subtextual significance. It's way too long. What a worthless piece of filmmaking.

I have no idea how it wasn't rated R, though; lots of savage, bloody violence - and all directed at kids!

You probably wouldn't like either one, but The Maze Runner series and Divergent series have (so far) been way better done as movies and translations from books than the Hunger Games.

Sparked by my recent Twilight viewings, I decided to see what's going on with other YA movies, so I actually have Divergent and The Host next up. If I survive, I'll check out The Maze Runner after that.
