The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

If you don't know what a Hobbit is, you are either a lost child or a very uneducated person.  As for the actual story of the Hobbit either I don't remember the story as well as I thought, or there is some embellishing going on.  Despite this, the movie keeps you moving in its action driven three hours.  Yes it has taken me this long to see it because the second part doesn't come out til December and their is no point in watching the first part of a movie if you aren't going to see the second part in the next few months, especially when they break a single book into two movies.  The visual effects make this movie a must see in HD.  I enjoyed the movie so much I had to pull out my book, blow off the dust and start reading it again.  Yes it is like that.  I would wait to buy it until they offer both movies together. 

After Earth

 


Planet Earth has revolted against the Human Race causing us to flee to the stars.  Well apparently Will Smith and his son didn't realize this as they crash land on the home planet of the Human Race.  So Will Smith apparently did this for his son and a pile of cash?  Because there is no way I can figure out why he did this movie.  The saving grace are the cool tech in the movie.  If you have some time to waste here's an option.

The Great Gatsby

Once again we are getting a look at Fitzgerald's perception of the roaring twenties during prohibition.  The intrigue and the wonder put to Baz Luhrmann blending vision of the past and with the fast pace music of today help to capture the glitz and glamor of the time.  Fun to watch and better than Redford's which focused on the romance between Gatsby and the forbidden romance with Daisy.  If you like Moulin Rouge or anything else Luhrmann has done you will enjoy this.

This is the End

Once again Seth Rogan and his gang of misfits are trapped in the end of the world in who would believe it James Franco's house.  Danny McBride and the rest of this cast are awesome together.  The interesting concept is that all Hollywood Actors aren't able to go to heaven, including Hermine Granger.  If you liked Hot Tub Time Machine and anything Seth Rogan has done you are going to like this.  Buy it, watch it and Take your Panties off!

Monsters University

As you are aware Pixar doesn't do a bad movie.  This like all the rest are great.  The only down fall is the end of the movie.  Despite this problem, this movie is a great watch and one you and your kids can watch over and over again.
