The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug ★★
Really? It's pronounced 'Smawg' and not 'Smorg'?
And there's still another film to go after this one?
Dragon/Holmes and Hobbit/Watson meet up and nothing else happens.
Oh yeah, there's a bit with some barrels.
161 minutes to tell a couple of chapters in a not particularly thick book.

American Hustle ★★★
The 70s really were as horrible as I remember.
Manages to just stay the right side of 'Three Kings' without venturing too far into the steaming shittery of 'Silver Linings Playbook'.

Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa ★★★★
The only non-pedophile Disk Jockey may not have followed the tried and tested formula of 'going abroad' like most other TV comedy series to film transfers but doesn't suffer from it.
Funny.

Red 2 ★★
Continuing effort by Bruce Willis to piss on everything he's done before.
Mean, unfunny, lazy.

The Wolf of Wall Street ★★★★★
Excellent.
Exactly how you imagine those type of people behaved.
Probably will be seen as aspirational for future generations of bankers but that's not the films fault.

Inside Llewyn Davis ★★★★
Not sure I really got the beginning/end bit but everything in between was excellent.
Thoroughly dislikeable character. Egotistical, feckless, vain, morally reprehensible in private while taking the highest horse in public, immature and constantly craving attention.
Seems like a fairly accurate depiction of the majority of musicians.
Funny. Good music.

Her ★★
Probably has something to say about the role of technology in the growing disconnect in human interaction or something about relationships and online vs offline personas but really who gives a shit?
Tedious arse-wipery with a couple of half decent jokes.
