The Fireside

Unfortunately, one of the movies I am looking forward to seeing, Exodus: Gods and Kings  got attacked by 'the critics'. Generally, that does not affect how I feel towards a film, nor do i pay that much attention to it. But it's at 27%  at the moment (top critics) on Rotten Tomatoes. I am sure I will still see the film, but perhaps not in theaters. Something similar happened with Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven, where the 'director's cut' on DVD was a vastly superior film (thanks to the success and footsteps of The Lord of the Rings  extended editions) which in fact, made the film pretty amazing. Likewise with Robin Hood , although there was not drastic enough difference between the unrated and theatrical. And, I saw this on Wikipedia: "I n an interview for  Access Hollywood , Scott claimed there was a "final" cut of the film that was 4 hours,   implying that the version released in theaters was reduced by 90 minutes." So I shall be...

Now this is what I've been waiting for!! Read more for info... [if more info is announced, pre-orders etc... I'll do a 'reminder post' the day this comes out with all the info.]

Earlier this week The Hobbit: Part 1  came out to buy. And you better not  pick it up....

Yesterday, season 1 of Game of Thrones came out to buy on DVD and blu-ray. If you're a fan, or you don't have HBO, or if you like: Gladiator or The Tudors, give it a shot. Please don't let HBO end it like they ended Rome and Deadwood. Oh, and that is of course if you're not participating in Black March. If you are, Black Friday & Boxing Day sales near the end of the year should be awesome. As for me, I'm going to wait for the series to end to get the massive complete series box set.
