Skyfall: boring as hell. Don't understand why snobby critics liked it. There's a whole host of problems with it, like their inability to have any suspense whatsoever and awkward dialogue to force a story no one gave a damn about. Not the best Bond ever. Not even Craig's best. Meh - I thought it was OK. Of course the best part was the end where it all sort of comes full circle. Although I'm not sure why everyone is going orgasmic over it. It's pretty plain as far as movies go.

Lincoln: a movie made by baby boomers for baby boomers.
Day-Lewis was as expected. Same with Fields...if you were expecting annoying as hell...which I guess Mrs. Abe Lincoln was...sooo..., good casting? Tommy Lee Jones borrowed his drag clothes from JFK
Half the movie had nothing to do with the story...it was just Lincoln being Lincoln.
Meh -

I thoroughly enjoyed that movie. Didn't have any Academy Award winning performances in it, but it was a fun 2 hours.

So DDL's Lincoln sounds like Mr Burns, and the movie in general looks like more typically hokey Spielberg schlock.
The Hobbit looks & sounds like rubbish.
QT better come through.

If you need to watch a movie with a female, Silver Linings Playbook is really good until the end falls into cliche hell.

If you need to watch a movie with a female, Anne Hathaway's vagina. Indeed.

Django Unchained: Meh
The Good: Christopher Waltz and Leonardo DiCaprio. Also Don Johnson's small role was right, as was Samuel L. Jackson but not as perfect as Waltz and DiCaprio. Leonardo's "Calvin Candie" is like Tom Cruise's role in Tropic Thunder...so outside the normal schtick that it's fantastic. Given the second half of the movie (see The Bad), DiCaprio was the only thing keeping my attention. ALL Waltz and DiCaprio scenes are worth the price of a ticket. Best parts, by far.
The overall direction was standard Tarantino...with extra splattery violence. Tarantino cast himself...which was stupid...but then awesome. Don't want to say anymore on that.
In the Tarantino movie tree...this was under Inglorious and Pulp...by a good long margin.
The Bad: It was two movies. The first half, with heavy amounts of Waltz driving it, was way better than the second half...even though DiCaprio was perfect. After the obligatory invasive giant font scrolling across the screen telling us that Tarantino's second movie was now starting, it all sort of lost its charm. And that's a shame. There was a great movie in there but it got lost in the 'just good movie' shenanigans.
The ending was disappointing. Fumbled into laziness.
Overall: Even with DiCaprio's awesomeness, the second half disappointment clouds the first half brilliance. So...meh.

I choose to believe that's a horrible review.
And I will now seek out some more "woo-hoo-soooopertimez!" reviews to feed my confirmation bias.

And just like that, Ann Hornaday is pleased to oblige me.
"Django Unchained" possesses an unmistakable subversive power, its playfully insurrectionist spirit perhaps the modern-day pop-culture equivalent of far more high stakes rebellions of yore.
1) Horn
2) a
3) day
4) She's a Top Critic, George. Are you a Top Critic? I suspect you are not!
5) For the Washington Post, even. That's a VERY major newspaper, you know. Very.
6) Subversive!
7) Insurrectionist!!
8) High Stakes Rebellions!!!
9) Of yore!
10) Hornaday
Enthusiasm restored.

You know...it just wasn't as good as I had hoped/thought it would be.
Not one scene holds up to the opening scene or the basement bar scene in Inglorious.
So there.
