Never understood why people don't like going to the movies on their own. I go to the movies on my own all the time, yes because I have very few friends, but I'm never sat there in some crippling loneliness. I actually prefer it to when we go out in a big group.

I have to agree. What rule says you have to go to the cinema with another person? I like going alone. I can get absorbed into the film more when I'm there by myself. Don't have to talk to anybody or nothing that people do when they see films together.

I guess ultimately many of us are just used to it, sure there's nothing wrong with watching movies on your own, but in that case I would rather prefer to watch something at home than going to a cinema, there's something fun about chatting about the movie with a friend while going back home, to me that's part of the cinema experience.

But I guess I could try to go alone at some point, like I said there's nothing wrong about that.

I like having somebody to talk to about the movie afterward.

Speaking of movies, my cousin and I are probably going to redbox Riddick or Escape Plan tonight. Any recommendations?

Saw the movie "Ted," mostly against my will. I'm not a big fan of Seth MacFarlane and this is just a bit too much of his schtick for my taste.

On the other hand though, it has probably the best cameo I've seen since "X-Men: First Class."

The Wind Rises - Miyazaki has always been an oddball for me. His movies tend to be great, but at the same time, they have a habit of being to convoluted for my taste. Even my favorite movie, Princess Mononoke can get way to complicated for its own good in the long run. Sometimes it might just be that the movies do not translate well into English, or the lack of knowing everything in Japanese to culture to truly understand them. Either way, I sometimes find it hard to sit through his works if I am not in the right mood for them. Nevertheless, The Wind Rises is probably the finest work I have ever seen from Miyazaki. The movie sounds simple, as it is about a man who wants to create the greatest airplane Japan has ever seen, but its execution is done with finesse and radiant brilliance. There are so many complications to be found here as it shows the struggles of how difficult it was to make a plane that actually works well along with the suspense of knowing what is bound to become of these planes. The movie tells an incredible tale of a man who seems very serious on the outside, but the imaginations of a genius on the inside. One of the best things about this movie is that Miyazaki does not hold back and creates a serious realistic movie that not only feels different because it is set in the modern world, but also because there are moments where it seems to relate to Miyazaki's own career and his newly announced retirement. The only piece I can fault the movie for is in its pacing, as there are some moments when the movie did drag, but other than that, this gorgeous story is a fantastic send-off for the man that also showcases a side of Japan rarely seen before in cinema, if at all. Overall, I give this movie a 9/10 stars.

12 Years A Slave...damn what a cinematic masterpiece.

Just watched Thor: Dark World and really enjoyed it. I loved the Asgardians in it and wish that they would have used the Warriors 3, Sif and Heimdall more but the villains felt very lacking and some of the human support characters were too. The Thor and Loki scenes and the parts with Odin and Frigga were amazing. Also Stellan Skarsgard was really funny and great continuing after the Avengers. I love this version of Thor much better than the comics, I hope we get a better Thor 3 though.

Goodfellas - This movie is so good and is still Scorsese's best work. The characters are great, the acting is top notch, and the story is well done and extremely interesting. Joe Pesci does get annoying at times even though that is the point of his character. Deniro is great, but I definitely think Liotta is easily the best thing of the movie. I love the scene when Ray's character and his girlfriend are walking through the restaurant from the kitchen with the camera just following them as they god along. That might be my favorite moment in the movie. I also love the scene though when Deniro is interrogating people for buy a new car and a coat after the big heist. Overall, I give this movie a great 9/10.

The Thing - There is nothing more to say about this movie I haven't said already. My favorite Carpenter movie. 9/10.
