I like Jessica Chastain, too!

Go check it out, it's creepy as hell. Basic ghost story formula, but the CG is done well I think especially during the darker scenes. The kids did a great job, and the sound from Mama is f**kin horrid...after this one part this little kid with his mom sitting nearby went,"I wanna go!"

Zero Dark Thirty? Heard it was a bit off with its facts, but really the only movie I feel like seeing this weekend.

Sweeeet! Hopefully I can watch it in the theaters, if not, I'll grab it at Redbox.

My brother said the story dragged on way too much and it probably could have been told in less than an hour.

Zero Dark Thirty is just another overrated film. Don't waste your time.

I do recommend seeing Broken City if you have to see something. It was pretty good, but it's one of those movies you watch once.

Can't wait until this summer though.

Sorry, boringly overrated film. I think the only reason it's regarded as such a great film, is because it shows the events prior to, and leading up to the assassination of Osama bin Laden/ who every American considers him right below satan, in terms of douchebaggery, which is why they would want to see it.

If it were an hour shorter, and DID not have Jessica Chastain (who is annoying and over dramatic), I might have enjoyed it.

The Last Stand opened to $6.3m (10th place) this weekend..wow. Guess that's not a movie to see. Really want to see Silver Linings Playbook now. It jumped back up to 3rd place this weekend after the Golden Globes.

Wow, only 6.3? Damn, poor Arnold.

In other news, I just saw Frankenweenie. Not bad, I enjoyed it.

Just saw the movie and I must say that I completely disagree with you. Apart from being loose with a few facts, namely that it was an entire team of CIA agents instead of a lone wolf after Bin Laden, I really enjoyed it.

Considering that Bin Laden did kill 3000+ Americans in easily the single worst terrorist attack I know of, of course he's high on the villian list, and deservedly so. As for the length, well, there is such a thing as telling a story and enjoying the ride. People just have uber short attention spans these days

Chastain I won't comment on, I thought her performance was done well but I would prefer a more historocally accurate depiction. Obviously though, a good story needs a recognizable protagonist(s) and a groups of CIA operatives wouldn't fit the bill as well as a good looking woman who happens to be obsessed with her work.

What I want to know is if •••Spoiler: that CIA friend of hers who tried to bribe the doctor and was killed by the suicide bomber really did exist and if seven people were really killed
