Finally watched The Machinist, as part of filling up my Christian Bale movie list.

GODS what a bleak movie. I can scarcely think of another film that's as devoid of hope, happiness and life. They've achieved something extraordinary. Absolutely loved every moment of it breaking my spirit.

Watch Morvern Callar. That's the bleakest movie I've seen. The main character might be the single worst human being that's not a murderer or some other serious criminal offender in any movie.

Christian Bale's weight loss was (in my opinion) the most radical (natural) physical alteration for a role in a film.

You want a bleak movie? Give "Happiness" a view. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0147612/)

I was forced to watch Mutant Girl Squad. I can't decide if it was just a really really bad movie, or so bad that it was actually funny.

It was talking-head-in-a-birthdaycake weird...

Even though The Grey doesn't particularly appeal to me, and I hated Taken, I would like to remind everyone of Liam Neeson's star-making turn in a little action film called Darkman. One of the greatest innocent man gets attacked by criminals and subsequently takes revenge against that gang by killing them one at a time in creative ways movies of the 90s! So much better than the Crow, and uhhhhhhh, the sequels to the Crow.

Weirdly I remember this. I could never remember what it was called but I thought it was TV show and in one of the episodes he actually makes a skin thatll last but loses his research. He then gives the perfect synthetic skin to a hurt child or something. Not sure if its the same as this one but I remember him being scarred, working on synthetic skin and having some sort of pain adapter in his neck removed.

EDIT- AHA! I watched the third direct to video sequel of this with the guy who played the Mummy in errr the Mummy

Watched Real Steel last night and thankfully I got it from redbox so the $1.30 I spent on it wasn't too bad. Knew it wasn't great movie going in and it was enjoyable in a cheesy bad-movie way. I felt like I was watching Over the Top but with robots instead of arm-wrestling but the father-son story was almost exactly the same. Good for some cheesy movie time provided you lower your IQ and enjoy the popcorn.

Finally got a chance to see Moneyball. That was a good movie, and I'm not really a fan of sports movies. Well done, really.

I only watched it because I know the guy who plays young Brad Pitt, but it was definitely worth it.

Got a chance to skip out and see HUGO yesterday. Absolutely wonderful film, and deserving of every accolade it has garnered (including the 11 Oscar nominations), it is a love letter to Paris, Books, and most of all Film itself. It is lovingly crafted and beautifully directed. Loved every moment of it.

I saw both Hugo and Moneyball in the past couple of weeks and really enjoyed both of them- excellent films with great stories as well as superb acting. The Hugo soundtrack is also fantastic.

We took the kids to see the 3D re-release of Disney's Beauty and the Beast.

Probably the best Disney fairy tale movie. The 3D didn't add anything to the experience, but that was the motivation for re-releasing. I guess that's Hollywood's new cash cow - I bet it's profitable as hell.

OK, I think I got it, but just in case, can you say the whole thing over again? I wasn't really listening.

That does look like a very satisfying movie.

Nothing more than a cash grab. Just like all the 3D Disney re-releases.

I guess Lucas just misunderstood when people said his Star Wars prequels lacked any depth?

The problem with this is that these will make money. Every one of them. Even grumbly Star Wars fans will see it.

I'm a huge Star Wars fan, but I won't. I have my BluRay's and I'm content with those.

Unless its a directors cut that's just the end fight with Maul, Qui-gon and Obi-wan I'm gonna skip it.

I can't believe some people thought they got marginally better. They truly got worse and worse, with the end of Episode III being like an F-minus-minus-minus.

They came with white hands and left with red hands.
