I think she's lovely. I thought she was excellent in The Blind Side.

I liked The Blind Side.
It's one of those films I never tire of no matter how many times I see it. Love it.

I find Sandra B pretty watchable in most things. She has a very likeable screen presence.

Think i've seen it twice but both times ended up annoying the hell out of people for days after by using the phrase 'Don't you dare lie to me' in every situation possible.
I think she's gorgeous.
Same here!!I also started calling hubby ' Big Mike' which annoyed the hell out of him :icon_lol:

Watched The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies last night.
And.... <shrugs>
What was it trying to do/be?! (Except make a lot of money which it obviously has). Very, very odd and essentially it was a case of throwing together some admittedly incredible effects and fight scenes onto the back of a very small plotline, tying it to the vastly superior LOTR trilogy. The plot was mainly non-existent, some of the characters pointless (Alfrid- ugh), the chemistry really poor (Tauriel with both Legolas and Kili - didn't work for me) and I found it was basically a showpiece for the WETA workshop.
It was worth seeing for the effects and scale alone and I can't fault that - it was stunning - and I'm not one of those Tolkein purists who refuse to accept anything that isn't in the books making it into the films, but I found it a bit strange.
I'll no doubt be buying the extended trilogy on BluRay when it comes out and I'd watch again just for the effects but easily the weakest of all 6 of the films IMHO. As far away in quality from the original LOTR films as Attack of the Clones is from Episodes IV-VI.

The Imitation Game. Excellent film. Sad and digusting to think that Alan Turing was had up for homosexual ' acts ' in 1952, and that he died from suicide, just before his 42nd birthday.
A very clever man, but obviously not a happy one

First of all, yawn. Prequel hate is beyond a dead horse.
Second, here's my first reaction to seeing the trailer:
So far the whole thing just screams "JJ Abrams jerking off to the Original Trilogy" to me. And that lightsaber is still fucking stupid.
