Catching Fire. Loved it, and not just for Jena Malone.

The World's End. Had no idea what it was about before hand, got some good laughs, and I really was not expecting the odd direction it took at the halfway point. Hot Fuzz is still my favorite in the trilogy, but this definitely comes in #2.

Just finally got around to watching Rise of the Guardians.

It was... so... awesome! :D

We duo'ed movies a couple days ago.  Red 2 and 2 Guns.  Can't complain about either of them, they're both just FUN.
There is light and darkness in the world, to be sure.  However, there's no harm to be had in walking in the shade or shadows.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

I might have to burn my True Tolkien Fan card for it, but I actually like what Peter Jackson has added to the source material.  Tauriel was fun. Radagast is always great. Legolas was... alright. He did what he had to do, but he could've shone a lot more. As it was, he was Designated Link to the LotR and a sort of half-assed bad cop to Tauriel's good cop.

Haven't seen either RED movie, but I genuinely enjoyed 2 Guns. I think I mentioned when I saw it earlier in this thread: it's a movie that set out to be a fun action-comedy and it did exactly that. It's not high art, but it was never meant to be high art.

Despite that, Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington had really great chemistry and both are damn good actors. Despite being the definition of a Big Dumb Action Movie, it had some genuinely good acting from the people involved.

Nail on the head, Chit.  And RED is the same way.  There's no pretention that it's anything but a dumb action flick and they're fun to watch.

Finally got around to seeing Frozen. It's a genuinely good, funny movie. We need more Idina Menzel in our lives.

And yeah, the Tumblr feminist complaints were pretty overblown. The one human male protagonist is a major supporting character, but Anna receives the biggest share of attention.

One other thing I should say about Frozen is that it seems that Disney has....kind of grown up. The film moves away from a lot of the past stereotypes, most prominently "romantic love conquers all and falling for a guy you just met and marrying him within hours is A-OK because it's true love". It lampshades a lot of the past common Disney tropes while also pointing out some of their flaws (though I shouldn't go into more detail, as that would spoil what might be the biggest twist in any Disney animated film), and puts more emphasis on familial love and friendship over romantic love.

It's actually kind of mature for something that at first seemed like nothing but another Disneyfied fairy tale.

V for Vendetta, with my high-as-a-kite older brother. Did anybody else see some really significant parallels between V/Evey's "creation" and Jack/Subject Zero's backstory? That was all I could think about going into the last third of the movie. Also, Rupert Graves.
