My contribution to this thread after a long time. Well, I did post about IM3 but that movie was seen in a theater so ...not a conventional movie viewing for me.
Chinese Zodiac 5.5/10
Jackie Chan still has the moves, Rest of the movie is, well...
Silver Lining Playbook 7.5/10
I don't know why Jennifer Lawrence got Oscar for this. Did she act better than "Meg Ryan" as she did in "When harry met sally" or "Ket Winslet" as she did in "Eternal sunshine of the beautiful mind". This question arises as her role is quite similar to roles these ladies played.
Movie is good but a bit lengthy. I would say Bradley Cooper did better than Jennifer Lawrence here.

Don't know about Meg Ryan's coz i haven't seen "When harry met sally" but she was definitely better than kate in "Eternal sunshine of a spotless mind" Her acting far far exceeds her age actually. She was totally unpredictable in the movie with over the top dialogue delivery, and that psychotic tinge in her character was brilliantly played, matching the plot in every sense. Agreed on your rating though.
Bradley was obviously great but jennifer had a more pivotal role that helped shape the movie. Thus the oscar.
Oh my friend (telugu) - 6/10 (9/10 for shruti hassan's performance
)What can i say except that this is my second telugu movie. I'm not a fan of bollywood and a few recent movies that i've seen really pales in comparison against the likes what i'm experiencing from their southern counterpart. This movie really has lots of emotions and gives a clear message that true friendship really goes a long way irrespective of gender, caste or any form of social discrimination. Plot sounds easy and predictable but the characters really fill it with life especially the part played by shruti hassan. Her skills are noteworthy and the way she has handled her open-minded character is really worth a view. Fantastic display of emotions.
Reminds me of "heavy rain". Quantic dream can really use some of these inputs for their facial animations. P.S - I have no understanding of any south Indian languages, but English subtitles were enough for me.

No mate, that wasn't the reason. Although i did watch the 720p rip, the real reason was that recently i've become a huge fan of shruti hassan after watching 7 aum Arivu. Her entire filmography ( excluding the past bollywood ones are in my list of must watch movies). The girl brings extreme innocence and simplicity to the picture. My first and only favorite indian actress.
You mean S_V right ? I know Sunil through TDF only and never met him. We talk sometimes and yes he's a good friend of mine. I'm from cuttack odisha, thus no understanding of southern languages.
Back from Iron Man 3. good movie, was a little boring in the beginning, but the pace picked up a little. there were some "technical issues" but can ignore them . Saw it in 2D. d3p liked it too
We waited end credits scene but it was getting late so we left..
7/10
. Saw it in 2D. d3p liked it too I was expecting very explosive ending, but okay with the one shown. Mandarin was such a facepalm moment for me as I was "very convinced" and I didn't see it coming at all 
so kudos for the writer, we were literally thinking WTF is going on!!!!! . Expected more screen space for Guy Pearce, he was good, but studio should have used him more.

Everyone here did not like the way mandarin was treated. Tbh I don't know who is that character and what makes u people so upset that he was not treated well. Can u guys explain?
^^ use Spoiler man
SPOILER ALERT.. do not read if you haven't seen the movie.

Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce) is the mandarin (he says that in the end), he used Ben Kingsley's character as the face of mandarin to spread panic(paid actor) he wasn't even there in those terrorist scenes(he says they used green screens to superimpose his character into those videos) , and he(Guy) went on to do his business without being in the limelight.

Would you be happy with The Dark Knight, if Joker turns out to be an actor/comedian, and not the actual psychopath you were expecting from the marketing and trailers.
Some people like the IM3 twist though, I guess it all depends on your expectations on Mandarin based on the trailers or any other promotional material.
"Some people call me a terrorist. I consider myself a comedian"

I would rate it 8/10. Would have given 9/10, if the fireworks were much more intense in the End & would have utilized GUY PEARCE properly.
Ending was soooooo Fast, didn't get time to take a breathe
TBH I just hate the Tony Stark thing & his Crome-Red-Blue Suit & his money. The only thing i love about him ; is his "HOUSE" at "10880 Malibu Point".
Ironman 3 was too good compared to the 1 & 2 at most of the places, but as mentioned by Rcuber, it was way too boring in the initial.
Anyway Tony learned his lesson & may be we won't see & digest Ironman4 any more.
Jarvis....was too Good. Infact i feel without Jarvis, Tony was too close to meet his Creator.
