just saw Tron Legacy. Loved it. Amazing movie very well done. Just didnt see anything spectacular about it being in 3D
Just watch How to train your dragon last night
and it was awesome had our entire family entralled by it.
Even my son who has a attention span of a gnat loved it and watched it all.
I give it five stars and a 10/10 rating.
Just saw TRON also. It was really good, but I would have enjoyed meeting more programs.
How to Train Your Dragon is absolutely fantastic! Loved those cat-like facial expressions of Toothless :)
Watched The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest - and enjoyed both. I especially liked the casting - Noomi Rapace is a very good fit for the role, she's just as I imagined Lisbeth Salander; also in general it felt right to see 'normal'-looking actors, not some 'sexiest men/women alive', in these movies. That (and the sights of Stockholm and Swedish countryside) made the movies entirely realistic to me. 8/10 for each.
It's weird, but I haven't seen the first movie yet - but since out of the 3 books 'The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo' was my favorite, I hope I will not be disappointed when I finally have a chance to see it.
Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole - 8.5/10
I seriously loved this movie. The animation was fantastic, the voices were great, and I loved the story. Granted, owls are my favorite animal and I'm a sucker for most kinds of adventure movies, but this honestly was a great watch. Parts of it were genuinely scary, and I fell in love with about 6 of the characters. I'd reccomend this to anyone, especially peeps with kids.
I loved The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and The Girl Who Played With Fire, but have yet to see Hornet's Nest. I assume it will be great. I'm upset hollywood is remaking them just because there is so many other movies they could do, and the originals are so good.
As I am usually "out of the loop" when it comes to new film and music
( No old people jokes please) :lol: I come here to read your reviews
and then update my Netflix que. So this is a thank you to all of you
for writing reviews and putting a thread out here for me to grab on to.
I may even someday be back in that loop! ;)
C.S.A.: The Confederate States of America
4 out 5
All at once disturbing and very funny....often in the very same instance.

Enjoyed this movie a lot, then again I love dark comedies. Entire cast was good. It follows a rich kid (Kieran Culkan) who is a pathological liar and anti-social, who goes from school to school. It's interesting as you watch it, they try to make Igby a likeable character but at the same time he deserves the things that happen to him and at the same time, he earns our sympathy despite him being a rich kid from New York.
8/10

Not writing something on this movie because I'm sure I have before, but it's one of my favourites. Love it top to bottom.
10/10
Really ? I haven't seen the HTTYD or Despicable Me, but to me Toy Story 3 is animated perfection. I'll have to watch those two soon to see how they stack up.
One of the greatest films ever made. Ever. A 10 in every way.
I liked Toy Story 3 better than HTTYD, but NOTHING beats Despicable Me. That is a family favorite, pure genius! I also like Megamind, but it's not nearly as good as DM.
That's because it's totally great.
you get to watch films on a bus? coooool!!!
i loved HTTYD, although when i first picked it up i have to be honest i was not expecting great things (i only chose it cause the dragon looked like my cat) but i really loved it
I would actually agree that HTTYD is a better thought out film than TY3 (i have talked before about my disappointment with the third installment)
My issue with Toy Story 3 was that it was meant to make you cry right from the beginning (I think Toy Story 2 is the same). It felt like the whole movie was tugging on your heartstrings and had little to do with telling a story (that wasnt all emotional and predictable) sure you dont go into kids movies looking for a plot, but the whole movie was about them leaving. I get it lets move on.
HTTYD besides making me LOTS of money had a better, more fun, and COOL story. Sure you had the obligatory emotional spot but its about the movie and the story which is just plain fun.
Despicable Me again was fun, better story, and great music. The boys have seen this at least 20 times and beg for more THAT is the true indicator of quality. Let be real I wouldnt watch kid movies if I didnt have kids, so if I had to watch one a billion time it would be DM and HTTYD. And its made me a little bit of money too!
Minions make everything better
I never even thought to cry in TS3, I loved it! And they ended it in such a way that it could continue and not be dumb. One movie that got great reviews and I thought was HORRIBLE was Where the Wild things Are. My daughter cried through it and asked me why the Wild Things were always sad. Talk about a HORRIBLE movie for kids! There was no happy go lucky feelings, and it was too emotionally involved for many children to understand. Hated it!
It may be something adults can enjoy through.
The thing is that with Toy Story 3, Pixar approached the film knowing that a fairly large part of it's fan base were those , like myself, that had grown up watching TS1 and TS2, and thus ensured that some of the events that occurred had a resounding emotional impact . Andy being portrayed as a coming of age college student ran a direct parallel with those of us who had watched and were awed as children/adolescents by the original film, and although we might recognize the film and it's central characters as ... past times (for lack of a better word) of a by gone era, we still recognize the role they played in our adolescent years.
I totally understand that, I was 17 I think when I took my baby brother to see Toy Story in the theater. I think its just me personally I dont care for movies that are trying to rip my heart out instead of telling a good story. Its just my opinion that it was mediocre and the first one will always be the very best.
*edit* I think i just realized my main issues as to why I cant get down with the whole growing up and moving on with these toys. You would have to know me to know this, but I've been making my own decisions since I was 2 and have been a grown up for a very long time and at a young age so I think that is why I cant relate. I also have a soon to be 13 year old (my oldest) and these are more her movies than my own. I also have no heart :P
For me I really think when it comes to Pixar Toy Story isnt their best movie, its gotta be The Incredibles and I cant believe there hasnt been a sequel yet. There have been 2 more TS's and even another Cars is coming out soon (terrible terrible movie), I would even rank Nemo in my top 3 before I got to the TS sequels.
Well, we'll have to disagree, because I feel that Toy Story 3 managed to be emotionally engaging AND tell a good story at the same time. Different strokes for different folks I suppose.
Totally, and its all good!
you are completely right sir, i was 6 when toy story came out, i remember the first time i watched it like it was yesterday.(i was totally the asshole kid from down the block that blew up army soldiers with firecrackers.) never has an animated movie(TS3) brought me so close to the brink of crying.
its funny I've seen almost all of these movies you guys are talking about, HTTYD gets a solid 20/10 i was expecting a decent movie, but was mainly only watching it because im a huuuge Craig Ferguson fan, and was just enraptured by the whole movie, seemed like it was over in minutes.
eternal sunshine was phenominal, carey was utter perfection in that movie.
haven't seen despicable me or mega mind yet, but both I've heard only good things about.
me and my mother are going to go to the movies either Christmas eve or day and see either tron, true grit, or Gulliver's travels, leaning towards grit, but i just loves me a good western. Heck, it might sate my yearning for the DT movie(yeah right!!)
recently I've seen a handful of movies, including one called cashback(2006) EXCELLENT brittish film about a struggling art student who breaks up with his girlfriend and gets a job at a grocery store, only to find out he has the ability to stop time. id give it a 9.5/10 and recommend it to anyone into good story telling movies.
another one, i just watched actually about an hour ago is High: the true tale of american marijuana(huzzah for hulu, lol) pretty well made documentary, boils down most of what i already knew about the war on drugs here in america, and some stuff i didn't.
