Thoughts on the Globes choices? DiCaprio should have won over Waltz and I was pleasently surprised Argo came in and took the award.

Samuel L. Jackson was better than both and he didn't even get nominated.

How crazy is it that we have new Statham, Willis, Stallone, and Schwarzenegger flicks all coming out within a couple of weeks of one another? Nuts, right?

Even though the trailers aren't great, my bet is on the Schwarzenegger flick being the only one really worth a damn. Kim Ji-Woon is one of the most exciting directors working today, and I think The Last Stand has a real shot at being a fuckton of fun.

Is that the Stallone one with Christian Slater? Wake Up Dead or something?

Edit: Bullet To The Head. lol It's got that guy who played Conan in it as well

Hey check this one out! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1661382/

It's Rocky vs Raging Bull!

Walter Hill directing is my only hope of that turning out to be somewhat worthwhile. As it is, though, it honestly looks like run-of-the-mill DTV trash.

That Statham one I'll give a watch. Not only am I a Statham fan, it has Michael Chiklis, Nick Nolte and Clifton Collins Jr and the tasty Aussie actress Emma Booth in it.

Finally got around to watching Marvel's The Avengers. Have to say, I was thoroughly impressed. Though, they totally got Thor's accent totally wrong so I'll have to minus 12 points. In the comics...I'm kidding!

Just got back from watching Les Miserables, a truly amazing film. Could question the vocal abilities of Russell Crowe but I don't want to take away from the superb product that has been produced. Samantha Barks was amazing in her role of Eponine, hopefully people recognise her talent and new doors are opened it her
