For the Lord of the Rings trilogy? Sure, I'll agree to that. The soundtrack was very well done. The Hobbit? Ehh...doesn't quite have that epic feel to it yet. Maybe I'll change my mind on it for the next movie, but so far it just hasn't been that memorable for me.

I liked the Hobbit soundtrack. Maybe relied a bit heavily on the dwarf's refrain, but overall it was entertaining.

But, enough talk about filthy hobbitses, precious. If we want to talk about the movie let's move it to another thread so we don't splash Xiao with inadvertent spoiler talk.

Another nerdy trailer! Will Smith and so join forces in After Earth:

After Earth looks like it could be a lot of fun. And seriously, how cool is it for a father and son to co-star in a high-budget film like that? Those are some quality childhood memories in the making right there.

Another trailer. Just when you got your hopes up that Hollywood wouldn't continue to abuse entertaining books for the sake of a quick box office buck, I give you World War Z.

If you've read the book, don't click the link. It'll just make you angry. Or depressed. Or deprangry.

Just got back from the premier of It's a Good Day to Die Hard. Pretty entertaining movie, but I don't think I'd rate it as the best of the series. Kind of felt it missed out on the McClaine/Villain radio banter that was so entertaining in the other films, but other then that it pretty much follows the Die Hard formula. If you liked the series, you'll like the new movie. If you didn't like the first 4, not much changes in this one.

I have to say though, I didn't just watch Die Hard V. The nearby AMC was having a marathon of the entire series, so I took a few days off of work. I'm pretty sure that 12 hours straight of Die Hard is a bad thing, but it was fun. Really liked watching the technology evolve throughout the series, from the old green letter CRT mainframe computers and land land lines in the first to smart phones in the fifth, just kind of amazing how far technology has changed in such a short period of time.
It was kind of depressing watching Bruce Willis do the same though. You don't really get a feel for how old the guy actually looks until you watch him in a movie 20... wait, 30 years old then watch the new release.

The new trailers for Star Trek and After Earth are looking pretty great. Giant fish in one, giant birds in the other, and spaceships all around. <3

Despicable Me 2... I love those crazy little minions.

I wasn't sure if this was just a Sci Fi movie thread or not.. :shrugs:
