I liked Law Abiding Citizen . . . sort of a remake of Death Wish and The Brave One, but with the vigilante targeting "the system" as well as the criminals. (The good guy - or was he the bad guy? - was altogether too clever, and he relished his new role as vigilante too much . . . but I enjoyed the movie anyway.)

2012 was good only - note, I said only - for the special effects. Yes, they're CGI, but except for the absence of dust, the collapsing buildings & bridges actually looked like collapsing buildings and bridges.

Inglourious Basterds was an OK movie, typical of Tarentino, but not as good as Kill Bill.
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

Sherlock Holmes was very good, wish I'd caught it in theaters. I did see Alice in Wonderland in theaters, and greatly enjoyed it.
