Don't read this, go see Django.

Do you read, if so what are your favourite books?

               No, I used to read a bunch, and when I did I read quite a few John Grisham novels, Lord of the Rings and Calvin and Hobbes. I plan on reading some more Calvin and Hobbes next year. Gosh that was easy. Well, cya tomorrow!

               Nah, I’m just kidding. I’m gonna tell you all why you should go see Django Unchained. It’s absolutely incredible. I went in expecting a typical Quentin Tarantino movie. Well played characters by good actors, cool action sequences, foul language and well-timed humour. What I got was possibly the best movie made this year, which is saying something with films like Globe Atlas, Avengers, Skyfall, Dark Knight Rises, Ted, Spider-man, and Pitch Perfect all giving 2012 a really good showing. (Remember this is entirely my opinion.) Leanardo DiCaprio gives arguably the best performance of the year as Calvin Candy, who for lack of a better term is the textbook definition of evil. Jamie Foxx gives a great performance as Django as well. Will Smith was originally intended for the role, but frankly he wouldn’t have really fit it in my opinion. If you can stand the insane levels of profanity there is an exchange between Samuel L. Jackson and Mr. DiCaprio that is just incredible, and also pretty funny. Overall, great great movie, go friggen see it. SKIP LES MISERABLES. GO SEE DJANGO!

               Maybe I shouldn’t be so harsh and Les Mis. I haven’t seen it yet so I really don’t know if it’s good or bad for sure. I do know that it would have to be the surprise of the century for it to be better than Django though. My only pre-viewing bias that I’ll be going into Les Mis with is that I think Amanda Seyfried is a terrible choice by the casting. Why? Because Amanda Seyfried is really bad at acting. Even Anne Hathaway, who I’m not terribly fond of, is a good choice when compared to Amanda Seyfried. She’s just awful. The only movie with her I’ve ever liked is In Time, and frankly Justin Timberlake carried that movie. When the Boy Band star turned actor carries is totally outshining you, it’s time to re-evaluate your skills.

               Point of all this, Django is really good, I don’t think Les Mis will come close to being as good as it and it makes me really sad that nearly all my friends are going to disagree with me and dismiss this because Django is “Violent and has bad language.” This is why I don’t trust your opinions on movies. 

Seriously, if he doesn't win an Oscar for this I'll be pissed.
