Cosmopolis (2012)

What a disappointment! Long since I have seen such a boring movie. The idea of movie may have been great but execution of it was painful. For the last ten minutes in my mind I was begging to kill Pattinson that this boredom would end.  Robert Pattinson played perfectly Eric Packer, boring and emotionless. Every one else had a minor appearance.  Most dialogs seemed theatrical and meaningless.
A young billionaire goes through the city in his white limo yo get a hair cut. During this journey his life falls apart, he looses everything money, wife and life (?)

Abraham Lincoln:Vampire Hunter (2012)

Another vampire movie is out. This movie is a mix of fantasy and history. I wouldn't be surprised that in few years teachers in school will receive essays on Lincoln as a vampire hunter.
Abraham Lincoln (Benjamin Walker) as a boy sees how a vampire kills his mother. As a young man he meets Henry Sturges (Dominic Cooper) who teaches him how to hunt vampires. In time Lincoln's zeal against vampires turns from active action into political action. However, he vampires never leave him.
The movie is quite entertaining, may be because at times it is stupid and laughable such as scenes on train and hunt for Jack Barts. There is nothing really to praise it for. It is neither good or bad.

What to Expect When You're Expeting (2012)

Five different couples are going through an expectation time. Jules' (Cameron Diaz) pregnancy moves her relationship with her boyfriend Evan (Matthew Morison) too fast. Holly (Jennifer Lopez) tries to adopt a baby while her husband Alex (Rodrigo Santaro) joins dad's support group (this group is one of the funniest moments in the movie). Rosie (Anna Kendrick) and Marco (Chace Crawford) get pregnant before their relationship has really started. Wendy (Elizabeth Banks) after many years of trying has become pregnant but her husband Gary (Ben Falcone) competes with his father Ramsey(Dennis Quaid) whose young wife Skyler (Brooklyn Decker) has become easily pregnant with twins.
It's a nice no brainier comedy with many cliches.

The Hunger Games (2012)

The novel The Hunger Games is exiting, griping, imaginative. When I went to the movie I expected the same but was disappointed. The movie was a weak shadow of the book.  It follows the plot of the book quite closely but misses on many important details to make sense of the happenings and poorly shows the inner life of heroes. If books focus on a very complex relationship between Katniss and Peeta makes the reader turn pages one after other, than relationship between Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence)and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) in the movie is so poorly showed that leaves one with the question what exactly is their relationship about? Honestly, if I haven't read the book I would have had trouble to understand most of the movie.
