The Last Reef: So this was a "4D" movie at the aquarium that I visited today. I can't say that any of the party were too impressed with the 4D part, 3D glasses, the seat shakes, smells, air and water get blasted at you sporadically mostly it distracted from the movie. The movie itself was interested and one of those guilt/panic inducing movies about how we're killing the planet. There were a lot of beautiful images though.

The Book Thief: This movie was so good, so beautiful. It was sad but it was a really great story. I love movies like this. I like that it's a different kind of WWII story, it's about good people in a horrible time/situation. I also appreciated that the accents were German rather than the standard British = foreign accent. I really recommend this movie!

Thor The Dark World: So I watched this to gain added context with Marvel's Agent's of SHIELD, I don't know that it really brought a ton of that though. I did have the realization though that if you combine Lord of the Rings and Star Wars, you might get Thor's world. Favorite part of the movie was when Loche (sp?) took the form of Captian America, pretty much worth the whole rest of the movie, which was okay. Ps, those dark elves are creepy.
