HUGO

If you like movies because they are a pleasant distraction then I'm not sure you'll like this movie.  If you loves movies because you love movies then you will love this movie.  The name 'Martin Scorsese' might trigger images of Italians shooting/beating people but he's made mostly films that don't feature those things and this is one of them.  Possibly his most personal film yet, Hugo is about believing that movies really are magic.  Magic to make, magic to watch, magic to remember, and they create magical conections between people.

CAVE OF FORGOTTEN DREAMS 3D

If you see one film about caves this year, make it this one.  If you see one documentary this year, make it this one.  If you see one 3D movie, make it this one.  I haven't seen any other cave movies or documentaries this year, but at least in the 3D category, this film far surpasses the likes of Drive Angry: Shot In 3D and Priest which are the only other 3D films I saw this year.  Let me spoil the 'plot' as it were: there are cave paintings in France that are over thirty thousand years old and we are going to look at them and talk about them.  If you don't think you would enjoy a virtual reality tour of a very large cavern, with some interviews and a side trip or two thrown in, then you probably wouldn't.
