I really liked Fantastic Mr Fox. Maybe it works with his style.

Yes, animation suits him well.
Anyone watch the Golden Globes?
I think the Foreign press stuck it to the Academy with Tarantino winning best Director. Ridiclous that he wasn't even up for an Oscar nomination.
He won best screenplay, actually. Affleck won best director--though he wasn't nominated by the Academy, either.
It was sort of a weird night, I thought. I was fairly pleased with about half the wins--the other half I was like, 'wha?' Though I suppose I should have expected Le Mis and Brave to win in their respective categories--award ceremonies just automatically reward Pixar and musicals, even if they don't measure up to the competition.
The Dark Knight Rises (2012) 8/10
One of the better super-hero movies out there tbh, but I was so disappointed by how they dealt with Bane, and that ending, I still have no idea how he survived that.
In the beginning-middle of the movie they mentioned something about Ejection Seat.
At then end of the movie, Fox was told that Bruce fixed the auto-pilot
I was pretty eager to see this given all the amazing feedback. Finally got around to seeing it last night. I did think it was really well done and it held my interest throughout. That being said, I have to disagree with some of the reviews that were REALLY effusive with praise. I thought it was a solid film that I enjoyed, but I wasn't totally blown away. Part of the problem was that it didn't feel completely fresh for me since it shares a similar plot to Raid: The Redemption, which is another very solid film. Having grown up on Stallone, Eastwood, and Arnie films, I really liked some of the one-liners that Dredd got to have some fun with. I felt Karl Urban did a find job in the role.
"Dredd" - 8.4/10
