The A-Team...eugh, not bad, I laughed a few times
Just watched Following (1998) Christopher Nolan's first feature length. I saw a lot of Memento in it and he was just a tad enamoured with shaky-cam. Interesting film, people should watch. Not brilliant like Memento but still good.

The Campaign - OK
Chimpanzee - worth watching if you like monkeys.

Rewatched the extended editions of the Lord of the Rings trilogy on Blu-ray to get ready for today's release of The Hobbit. Still 5 star films.

Saw The Hobbit. Spectacular, but also (as a purist) somewhat annoying.

Did you see it in 48fps?

Is that HD? No, couldn't justify the extra expense. There were some bits where it looked kinda blurry, maybe it would have been better to do so.

It's not HD in the sense of being higher resolution, but doubling the frame rate does make for sharper images especially during action scenes. It's the first film to be shot in the format, which I believe is marketed as High Frame Rate 3D.
I've read very mixed reviews of the format so far, with the worst reports saying it looks like a daytime soap and is so real looking that the sets look fake. Only 5-10% of cinema screens the film is being released to have actually upgraded to the format, so most people will see the film in standard 2D or standard 3D.

Right, in which case, it wasn't available at my local. 2D, 3D, 3D-HD were the formats on offer I think. We went with 2D, if god had meant us to see in 3D we'd have sensurround eyes, or something.

We have binocular vision to allow for depth perception.
You are entering the vicinity of an area adjacent to a location. The kind of place where there might be a monster, or some kind of weird mirror...
The Hobbit. What a disappointing film. And 48fps? Makes it look like a daytime soap set in Middle Earth.

Witchcraft. 'Depth perception' is a myth. Things aren't far away, they're small. Then they inflate and hit you in the face.

Anyone seen Lincoln yet?. Supposed to kick ass.
I think I am going to have to go and see it this week. It is not really my sort of film, and something technically innovative was one of the things I was looking forward to about it. Never mind.
Last week we went to see Anna Karenina. My partner really liked it, but I thought it didn't really work, and it was too concerned over style as opposed to story-telling.

48fps definitely provides impressively sharp, clear, and deep images on screen. If they could have that without the "live video production" look, they would have something.

Did anyone hear that 48fps was making some people ill? When it opened here they had three formats: 48fps, IMAX and normal.
Just watched Shawshank Redemption for the first time since high school...phenomenal!

I just saw The Hobbit. I loved it. A lot of people seem to be complaining about the length and pacing, but I thought it was perfect (but then I'm a pretty big fan of the books). I saw it in regular 2-D, but I'm planning on seeing it again in 3-D (maybe even IMAX).
There was one sequence where the 48fps makes you feel like you're on a rollercoaster.
