I watched Monsters recently. Despite the generic title making me somewhat wary, it was quite a good film and I enjoyed watching it. I recommend it.

Skyfall

A miracle! - I went to see a movie on it's actual day of release (rather than wait at least a couple of weeks).

An excellent, feel-good XMAS movie - It's a Wonderful Life.

Jim Carrey in "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" in slow progress so I can enjoy it as much as possible today.

I watched that a couple of days ago! One of the best Christmas movies ever made, if you ask me.

Only watched the movie for the first time last year.

Watching it however has definitely become part of my XMAS routine.

Last movie I watched - The Snowman and the Snowdog (the sequel to the 1982 animation film The Snowman).

Same here actually. This was the first time I watched the entire movie from start to finish. I really liked it though. Most Christmas movies these days, quite honestly, aren't that good. They're just goofy and mildly funny. They don't really provide much of a x-mas feeling though. This one does.

Last movie I watched... a reaaaaallly weird French movie I found on youtube. I don't remember the name, but it was so strange.

The Hobbit (2D version)

Am I the only one who doesn't 'do' 3D movies? Although impressive, I find them too dark (certainly in the cinema anyway).

Of the movie, it was really enjoyable. I was expecting it to be too long drawn out, but this wasn't the case.

I can certainly imagine non-Tolkien fans finding it too long however.

I can't say I find 3D movies too dark. I quite like the 3D experience to be honest.
Do 3d movies make you nauseous or something Globe? A lot of people complain about that. I hadn't heard anyone complain about them being too dark though. Maybe it's just your cinema?

On another note, I'm reading The Hobbit at the moment. I wanted to read the book before watching the movie.

Last movie I watched: Indiana Jones ...3, whatever it's called. Watched 1 and 2 yesterday.
Naa nana naaaaaaaa... naaa nanaaaaa!! (...Indiana Jones theme. In case you can't tell).

It could well be my cinema - the place is ancient. It was around even before cinemas were invented! (which I know doesn't make the slightest bit of sense )

Did you get round to watching The Hobbit Harold? Now that I have a PS3, I think The Hobbit is actually going to become the first ever blu-ray movie that I buy.

Last two movies that I saw (and which couldn't be anymore contrasting) - The Thing (1982), and Born Free.
