Silver Linings Playbook - Solid performances from Cooper, Lawrence, and De Niro, but I liked the film more when it was a drama and less once it became a romcom. They make you think it might be a unique look at mental illness and how it affects everyone around the person, but then it becomes Flashdance and we get the happy ending and I was kinda checked out by that point.
I agree, but actually dug that part, because I sort of hated Bradley Cooper's character. He was mental AND he was a dick head. The romcom aspect seemed to almost neutralize the dick head part. De Niro was awesome, though.

Killing Them Softly - Wow, what a stylish, dreary, western-like take on the gangster genre. If I had seen this in 2012 it would most certainly have made it to my top-10. I was floored. The cinematography was epic.

Moonrise Kingdom. Loved it! Had a smile on my face from start to finish.

Django Unchained. For the 3rd time. I really cannot get enough of this film. I would love to see the original 4 1/2 hour assembly cut.

End of Watch...good, enjoyable performances by Gyllenhaal and Pena, but nothing at all happens for 1<sup>1/2</sup> hours of the 1:49 running time.

Zero Dark Thirty I enjoyed it. Played More like a documentary than a movie. Jessica Chastain was good but I'm not sure Maya was a strong enough character to support the entire film. fascinating story though. I'm not sure i would have enjoyed it as much as I did had it been about another subject.

The Last Stand
Very fun action flick with some humor thrown on. Good to have Arnold back on the big screen again.

That's pretty much what I thought. It felt like a longer episode of Southland with curse words and more graphic violence. I think the characters of Southland resonate more with me than Gyllenhaal and Pena's on this movie.

I watched Taken 2 tonight and was surprised by how terrible it wasn't. I had heard so many awful things about it, and while I do like the first one better, this wasn't nearly as bad as people made it out to be. The first one wasn't some action masterpiece, it was Liam Neeson kicking ass. This was just more of the same.
It blew me away.
