ETA: Also, just this year I finally realized how ridiculously big of a box that leg lamp arrives in. Never thought much about it in the couple hundred other times I've seen A Christmas Story, but dang, that's a massive box for a lamp!

Maybe it's because they only had a one-size-fits-all box, so, the same size for leg lamps and bowling alleys.

Pacific Rim: Incredible graphics and raw action made for an enjoyable ride through a predictably weak plot and acting. Perfect movie for the FX channel. I couldn't help wondering how you ever top the spectacle of those fight scenes.

Entrapment: Catherine Zeta Jones was unbelievably annoying (a non stop whiny little brat), making the entire movie pretty hard to watch.
But.... 8D

I saw it in German (Verlocken Falle or something) while studying abroad years ago, without English subtitles. It was pretty good that way.

Prisoners

Great movie (one of the best I've seen in 2013). Great acting, suspense, and drama with a good dark plot. Looking at reviews I read online after seeing it I've found that people either LOVE it or HATE it - not much middle ground.

Forbidden Planet on Blue-Ray.

Redemption on Netflix (not great, but better than the usual vapid Jason Stratham schtick.)

Stephanie and I did our usual Xmas eve double header of Trading Places and Bad Santa (which'll probably need to change if we ever have kids).

Olympus Has Fallen: It was Die Hard meets Under Siege meets a steaming maggot infested pile of crap. Christ, at least Under Siege had Crazy Gary Busey to liven things up. This thing was just completely without any redeeming merit whatsoever. Two hours spent watching Hungarian midget porn would have been more intellectually stimulating.

I saw that a couple weeks ago on Amazon Prime, and felt the way you did. Even the action scenes were meh since you knew exactly what was going to happen before it did.

I heard Wolf drops the EFF bomb like 500 times.......


Loved Prisoners, but as a father of 4 it also scared the shit out of me.


The Factory: John Cusack serial abductor movie. Thought it was pretty good with a semi predictable, but good twist at the end.


Zodiac: Finally watched it. Thought it was a bit long and slow moving at times, but also really enjoyed it.
