Third Monday Movie Day

I spent a good part of this month on vacation or preparing for it. While on vacation, though, I took in some stuff.

Prometheus. Why is this movie so dull? Ridley Scott remembered to take a lot of pretty enough shots, but the story really takes its time, and the cast just doesn't become particularly engaging for the viewer, outside of lead actress Noomi Rapace and Idris Elba, who really can do no wrong. Also, clear this up for me: did people watch this whole movie unaware that it was a prequel? I remember hearing people say they were shocked by the ending setting up the Alien franchise, but I can't imagine being force-fed any more clearly. Maybe my memory on this is failing?

The only good thing I saw anytime recently was Django Unchained unless we add TV, and even that was pretty light of late.

What have you seen?
