  The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug 2013

  ★★★★ Watched 31 Dec 2013

  enjoyable, but far too long again - when will peter Jackson learn to edit? To many story threads - the chasing off where totally unnecessary as was legolas reappearance.

  Gravity 2013

  ★★★ Watched 18 Dec 2013

  Story seemed a bit clichéd. Visuals were good but not enough to hold a feature film. 3D was very gimmicky.

  Cheesy, Corney, silly, stupid, over the top and utterly fantastic. Magic!
