She says the dates are wrong because they didn't take into account changing from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar.

She has at least changed her mind about the doomsday stuff though, she just thinks there's going to be a "spiritual awakening" instead.

Yeah... that change was about 10 days. 11 at the outside...

Oz the great and powerful.  Interesting take on the original and I liked the sort-of swerve with

I'd love to see a sequel that leads right in to the original movie, but from the Wizard's POV.

Mass Effect: Paragon Lost.

After watching that, I totally feel for Vega's character a lot more than I did before.

The Hobbit.  I enjoyed the book and loved the LOTR movies, but this was the first time I fell asleep during a movie out of sheer boredom.  At least the last half hour is better, though I thought the voice-acting for the goblins was just horrible.

Ahem. In the past week, I've watched the following:

Highlander: I really don't see what the screaming big deal is.

Robocop: This one, I liked.

The Matrix: A classic, in my not-always-humble opinion.

Oz the Great and Powerful: A good movie, but works better as a reboot or alternate continuity from the original Wizard of Oz than as a straight prequel, in my opinion, particularly since it was made by a different company and they made minor changes throughout to avoid copyright issues.

Loved that movie. It is a wholly different continuity from the 39 film, though. One of the producers confirmed it, and like you said, a lot of minor changes mean things don't add up. It's supposed to be a prequel to the books officially, but it doesn't quite line up with those, either, mostly because of the Emerald City.

Is this your first time seeing Sean Connery playing a non-Scotish character? He never attempts another accent anymore, regardles of where his character is meant to be from because, to put it lightly, he is fucking terrible at accents (he used to attempt accents back before Bond made him famous).

Lawrence of Arabia

Holy shit that is a long movie.  I'm not sure what I think of it as I was too distracted by how shockingly unconvincing Alec Guinness' make-up is.  Also, he has blue eyes (or "had" I guess I should say). Do many Arabs have blue eyes??

I get that a lot for some reason.  I will admit though that I enjoyed when

The Secret World of Arietty (2010/11/12 depending on where you live)

Took me long enough to watch it, I got this movie for Christmas. I know everyone says it's not as good as other Ghibli films, but I liked it. As always, the visuals are beautiful, and I didn't think the story was too bad either. I admit I prefer The Littles to The Borrowers as far as books about tiny people are concerned, but this movie was amazing nonetheless! Highly recommend to anyone who hasn't seen it yet!

Premium Rush. Much better (including funnier) than the previews made it look.

Death Race 2000, which was quite enjoyable.  And before that, the original Batman movie, which I firmly believe to be the best of them all.

Original as in the first of the Nolan trilogy, the first Michael Keaton/Tim Burton movie, or the 1960s Adam West movie?
