Watched moneyball when I was snowed in last week..
I'm not a baseball fan by any means, but this was a great movie and I totally enjoyed it. Best performance Brad Pitt ever did for sure!

Checked out the new Robocop on the weekend. Better than I thought, although a bit slow in the middle. Would recommend.

Watched the Avengers again in 3D bluray, never get tired of that movie. Also so RoboCop and I must say I was much better then I was expecting it to be. Not a must see movie but a good choice if you have nothing else to do.

Saw RoboCop 2 nights ago. Could have been better, but not bad for a remake.

If you enjoyed the film, Moneyball, you might like to read the book as well.

The book is even more entertaining, and it is fascinating to boot—much better, even, than the movie. The author, Michael Lewis, is a talented writer. He piqued my intellectual curiosity while leaving me roaring with laughter at his insider's tales of the characters in professional baseball. If you start it, I'll bet you finish it. It's a rewarding read.

Well, it's not terrible. Lol, it's one of those movies where it has awesome effects and all but the story still no where near as good as the original.

The original had way more details in the plot for sure.

Watched the Conjuring last week. Great atmosphere, great script and good acting. Very well done. Love Vera Farmiga!

I actually thought it was pretty good. It's a different take on the themes and Lots of subtle things going on in the backgrounds if you pay attention. It's the rare occasion that I'll buy a BR of a movie and this is one of them. There's are some cool callbacks, but I think some of the satire isn't as intelligently written as the original. This isn't to say that it isn't good, but it's also a more modern interpretation of the zeitgeist. It has decent action for those that want to turn their brain off and something to chew on for those that are looking for something a little more.

I just hope the home release has an extended cut because it seems like they trimmed it a bit.

2014 Robocop. I thought it was actually great. different take then the original. original was a man who figures out who he is and seeks revenge. this one I thought was great cause it was more about the human side of him. not matter how much machine he is the human sides will is stronger. I thought it was great.
