    91% from the pro critics and 95% viewer approval. I was very surprised, plan on seeing it tomorrow or Tuesday.

      Not even Hugh Jackman or the need to include so many nods to the original trilogy can ruin it.

      That reunion scene between Magneto and Mystique was certainly worth all the build up.

        It's playing at that ultra screen with the leather recliners. Probably gonna take the boy as he liked the X-men movies and I actually really liked them too. Hands down my favorite comic book movies.

            I went and saw Belle last night. It tells the story of Dido Elizabeth Belle, the illegitimate daughter of a black slave and an English Admiral. She's raised up as a gentlewoman in the house of the Chief Lord Justice of England, who eventually rules on several legal cases that lead to the abolition of Slavery in the British Empire. I would recommend seeing it if you can get the chance. I don't think its 100 historically accurate, but how many movies are anyways?

                The original one is (now) a documentary.


                Haven't seen the remake, but the reviews weren't favorable.

                  Godzilla. It was good enough and the CGI didn't ruin it for me. However, I'm glad I paid matinee price and didn't bother with IMAX or 3D. Not enough monster, too much plot development.

                  And one personal quibble that that has nothing to do with my overall impression - I was surprised as hell to see Juliette Binoche in the opening credits, then bummed she didn't last. Although not sure it's the genre for her.

                    Took a chance on this book, seemed to be what I am looking for: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/052...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

                    Related: I loved/own the movie "This Film Is Not Yet Rated."

                    I am really wanting to learn about the pre-MPAA days/the Hays Code.

                      X-Men: DOFP was outstanding. Made up completely for the crapfest that was X-Men: The Last Stand and the snoozer X-Men: First Class. Second best movie I have seen in the genre outside of The Dark Knight! The Quicksilver scenes alone are worth the price of admission and the finale blows the Avengers out of the water.

                        I saw that yesterday afternoon. You're right about the Quicksilver bits. Think about the fun you could have if you ran that fast when you were a teenager. And I liked the movie as a whole. The cameos were a nice touch of bringing certain things together.

                          Went and saw A Million Ways to Die in the West on Sunday. ****ing hilarious! It had a few moments where the humor may have overstepped into "okay, now it's not funny," but it seemed to flesh out more of a human story than Ted and it didn't have that awkwardness than Ted had in the first half hour of it's film.

                          The opening made me fear for a "Blazing Saddles" wanna be film, but the comparisons pretty much end after the title sequence ends.

                          The nod to Back to the Future was a nice touch too.

                            Saw "Neighbors" recently. Eh... it was decent. Some good gags and typical Seth Rogen stoner type stuff. I don't know, there just felt like something was missing. Maybe because this was sort of "Knocked Up 2" after the baby has been home for a while.

                              I saw this Friday night with my college roommate. I'd agree with much of what you said. A few of the references made were unexpected and great because of it - especially what I consider the most unlikely of cameos. I was a little worried some 15-20 minutes into the movie and there wasn't much more than a few laughs to that point, but it really did pick up after that. Far from great, but good fun if you like Family Guy.

                                I was just watching the trailer to Dumb & Dumber To in the office - that was a mistake. I had a single very loud laugh before I remembered where I was.
