To prove I haven't stopped going to the movies and that I do still have opinions about the films I've seen I'm gonna run down a quick list of everything I've seen in the last couple months with a brief blurb and a rating. In no particular order.
Iron Man 3 - A new direction for Iron Man which despite a slightly toned down vibe is more exciting and just as enthralling as all of the previous installments. It's brilliant for playing off of elements from the Avengers and brings Tony Stark back down to Earth in the most wonderful way. My favorite Iron Man yet. 9/10
Star Trek: Into Darkness - A strangely paced follow-up to 2009's Star Trek which trades the fluid plot of it's predecessor for spurts of story. Well acted with rewarding action, this sequel delivers an entertaining ride if not one quite as ground-breaking as the former. 8/10
42 - An excellent movie which "plays the race card" with a graceful balance of sensitivity and austerity. Like race relations sports films before it, 42 handles the subject matter with an intriguing combination of sport and personal story while being perhaps the most visually beautiful and movingly penned of its kind. 9/10
Oblivion - An overwhelming (at first this is great but afterwards is a little disappointing) sci fi epic which manages to acceptably combine a plethora of classic science fiction elements into something un-originally fresh (bit paradoxical). Excellent soundtrack and decent story make for an enjoyable film. 7.5/10
