I love
The Muppet Christmas Carol, Puddleglum! We haven't had a chance to watch it this year, but maybe we can sneak it in before the year is officially over...
SL, I don't think they're planning any more Iron Man movies, but I heard rumours that they're still trying to bring him back for the second Avengers movie. We'll just have to see what happens with contracts and such, though, as Arwenel said.

I recently saw
Now You See Me with my mom and sisters; Winter and I are at disagreement with the rest of the family about the ending of the movie. We think
the "Welcome to the Eye" part meant that there was a real secret society and a real magic, since the main thing we heard about the Eye was that they were the guardians of the sacred magic; everyone else thinks there wasn't a society or that it was just a group of illusionists and that the guardians part wasn't important.

I'm not really a fan of
things that try to play with your mind and then leave it unclear about how much was real, such as all the illusions, and how much the FBI guy was acting and how much was real, so I wasn't overly happy with the movie (also,
the partner getting his coat stuck in the garbage disposal really bothered me; I know he didn't get hurt, but still *shudders*). However, I did figure out that
everything had to do with the drowned magician, and figured out that he either hadn't really died or that a close relation (such as a child) was involved, so I wasn't that surprised when it was revealed to all be connected to the son.I also saw Joss Whedon's
Much Ado About Nothing; it took about 2/3rds of the movie for most of us to keep everyone straight, but it was pretty good. I could've done without several of the scenes, but I loved
the scenes where they were trying to convince Beatrice and Benedict that the other loved them, how the ridiculous watchmen were played so seriously, and, a bit surprisingly, all the emotion in the wedding scene, especially between Hero and her father (and then Beatrice and Benedict trying to help).The last movie I saw was
Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters. It's been a while since I read the book, but while it wasn't a great adaptation, it was still a decent movie, and I thought they handled both Tyson and Clarisse fairly well.

Plus, they did keep at least some semblance of
Grover in disguise as a female Cyclops bit, which I wasn't expecting, especially considering everything else they cut.
