I thought Walter Mitty looked interesting, but it's not getting mediocre reviews. It's getting slated. So I don't have high hopes for it at this point. Though I might still check it out because it seems like the kind of thing I might want to have my own opinion on. And there's always the chance that it is good, just a little unusual in a way that puts people off. There are a couple of weird fantasy movies that I really like that weren't fully appreciated by the critics for that reason.
Wolf of Wall Street looks like it could be interesting. And I really loved the first Hunger Games movie, so I'm definitely watching Catching Fire in the cinema. I still want to see Rush and Prisoners too. And I feel like there's something else that came out recently that I wanted to see that I'm forgetting ...
Other than that I can't think of much. The Hobbit movie doesn't interest me - I really liked the book, but since I heard they were splitting it into three parts I really haven't been very interested in the series. And while I enjoyed the first Anchorman, since I first heard about the sequel I've felt it was destined to disappoint. Will Ferrell has been trying to recreate the success of this movie for years to no avail. And this long after the original was made, I just don't think the magic will be there anymore. I'd catch it on Netflix or something, to see what it was like. But I wouldn't go to the cinema to watch it.
