rockNrollaDIM Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 First movie I saw last year was The Tourist and then, I think, The King's Speech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) My first cinema going experience of 2010 was a 127 Hours/King's Speech double bill. Can't remember which one I saw first.And apparently The Artist isn't coming to my cinema after all. Guess the first movie I see this year will be War Horse or something.

acsc1312 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) ^ That sucks. My stupid local arthouse theater has been playing the Descendants since November and are finally getting the Artist next week. They pushed it back to play melancholia for about 2 weeks (which I missed out on). I understand Payne is famous here, but my God, stop playing the movie once it goes wide!!

riczhang Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I used to think my Arthouse theatre was slow with getting movies, but hearing you guy's stories, and considering the pick up in the past year it's actually quite good, not including LA, and NY of course. I think we got The Artist the 2nd week it was out,, The Descendants opening week, Iron Lady, and A Seperation are both coming in the next week or 2, and TInker Tailor has been playing forever here. The only significant delay is We Need to Talk About Kevin which comes sometime in February or March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Mission: Impossible 42:55 PMAbout 50% full. (Or was it 50% empty? )Trailers:Man on a Ledge: Boring.Ghost Rider 2: Looks meh.Wrath of the Titans: Looks better then the first. (I made a comment on how Worthington was just in a trailer!)This Means War: Actually looks pretty funny. Laughs.Titanic 3D: Nothing. Other then "You know, this was back when Leo was considered annoying" (which is true)GI Joe 2: Laughs at Bruce Willis like how there was at SH2, though someone behind me goes "How lame is this?"Movie: Really great. Loved the cinematagrophy. The BEST Mission Impossible by far. Cruise was really good, but Pegg stole the show. I loved how he was just a over optimistic person. Also had one of the best car chase sequences I've seen in a while.A 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockNrollaDIM Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Planning on doing the "slit your wrists" double feature this weekend... "Shame" and "Land of Blood & Honey". Sex addiction & genocide-rape dramas will make for a very uplifting Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieGuyKyle16 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 The DescendantsVestal AMC Lowes 9 Thursday Jan. 5th 3:30pm20 people (all older then 40 except for me and my friend)Trailers: (no reaction to all of them)Being FlynnExtremely Loud and Incredibly CloseGirl With Dragon Tattooand some other films cant rememberbefore I write this review, I want to say that this is the first time I been to this theater and I want to say that I loved it. It beats the crap out of my local theater. I traveled about an hour away for this movie. The theater was just renovated and they put in these awesome new recliner seats and It felt weird because I never been to a theater with those kind of seats. It felt like we all died and went to movie theater heaven. The only thing that could of made this trip better is if the screen was Imax. Only cost $4.50 for a ticket I think AMC has that kind of deal. Anyway......Review: I really loved this movie, I felt everybody did a great job and the script was really good. Acting from everybody top notch including from the little girls. The movie makes u laugh and a little teary eyed. I highly recommend this movie.

forg Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows Glorietta Cinema 3, Makati City, Philippines Press Screening, January 5, 2012 8 pm 99% full (400 seater theater) Trailers (and there were a lot as it has been also the opportunity for Warner Brothers Philippines to showcase the movies they're going to release and distribute here) J. Edgar (silence) We Bought a Zoo (some laughs) The Descendants (I heard a couple of wows maybe because we didn't expect that Warner Brothers will release this movie here) The Lucky One (some reaction from girls during Zac Efron's love scenes) Darkest Hour (silence) Journey 2 (silence) Wrath of the Titans (silence) Chronicle (lots of reaction because the movie was hard to figure out from the trailer, at first it looked like a comedy but boom it became freaky in the end) The Dark Knight Rises (I heard some cheers) Rock of Ages (best response from the crowd especially when Tom Cruise appeared) Jack The Giant Killer (some surprised reaction from the crowd when they figured out that this is the Jack and the Beanstalk story) The movie It's very entertaining but a little too long, the middle drag a bit but the last part was good and the crowd responded really well to the ending. Jarred Harris did great as Moriarty. The audience loves RDJ and Jude Law, they laughed with all the jokes and banter 8 / 10 Edited January 6, 2012 by forg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayumanggi Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 That is a LOT of trailers. Not that I would mind. But I can't recall the last time I saw more than 5 or 6. (this is a response to Forg's post, not the post directly above mine).It's normal in the Philippines. We even have two different trailers for one film. At the cinema where I go, we have 20 minutes plus of trailers before the movie starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
