    Great little movie that I loved as a little girl, and enjoyed my re-watching of this morning. :) Later this afternoon, I may watch Escape from Witch Mountain since I recorded it as well.

    The King's Speech
    Cinemark (blah, but it's cheaper than the Alamo for 1st matinee of the day)
    water

    No wonder there's talk of Colin Firth getting an Oscar nomination for this... wonderful, wonderful film with a lot of really good actors - Firth, Geoffrey Rush, Helena Bonham Carter, Dumble - oops, I mean Michael Gambon, Timothy Spall, Guy Pearce... all-around wonderfully done! No wonder my Mom told me I should see this. I highly recommend it!

    Rock and roll New Year's Eve huh? I had not yet seen this as I have never liked the work of Lewis Carol, and although I used to be a huge Tim Burton and Johnny Depp fan, I had become fed up about how samey their work has become.

    We were pleasantly surprised and enjoyed it very much. Mikey stayed up late especially to watch and he enjoyed it too.

    This used to be on of my favorites as a kid (despite the bad acting, which I recognised back then too), and I felt the kids were finally ready. Sarah had never seen it either despite the fact we own it on VHS.

    They all loved it, and I still enjoyed it too (though perhaps nostalgia played a key role).

    Yep, as bad as they said. A couple of funny moments but very cliche, I think I could have written the script.

    Wall Street Money Never Sleeps
    On Demand
    Left over pizza

    Quite good although I dozed through parts. I was glad that we had watched Wall Street a couple of months ago to refresh my memory about the set up for this sequel.

    Yogi beaing one of my fave characters as a youth, I had many concerns before we trotted off to see this one. The first 20 minutes made me think I was right as they spent most of the time trying to explain who/what Yogi was.. tedious but I guess necessary for most of the audience. After it got rolling it was thematic as one would expect- bad politician trying to hurt Jellystone, all the good guys band together to save the park, and the main male character has a girl next door type he realizes is just for him-- kind of looking for Dean Jones in the movie - LOL !. But all in all, the animation was pretty good, the character settled in pretty well-- Justin Timberlake nailed Boo Boo's character -- while Ackroyd at times seems to over exagerrate Yogi, also all in all fun was had.
    Also I refuse to pay $3- $5 more for 3D in a movie like this - it's Hollywood nonsense to virtually raise ticket prices. There are very few movies I would pay for 3D- it would have to really be essential to the movie

    I'll give it a B- overall - but i you expect cartoon fun, you will not be disappointed.

    Also a pretty clever Roadrunner-Coyote short beforehand dealing with Segways'

    It was cute. The kids loved it, I thought it was largely forgettable.

    Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant
    Sky Sci Fi
    Disneyland Paris Chewy sweets

    Not great cinema, but very enjoyable and right up my ally. I would love it if they made more.

    I never saw the original & my husband was pleased Jeff Bridges didn't try to copy John Wayne. I found it enjoyable, but there were a few scenes I couldn't watch. I'm way too squeamish!

    I really wanted to see this when it was at the cinema, but work and having kids got in the way. Santa brought it as a Christmas present, and I am really glad he did. I LOVED it. I really do not understand the negative buzz this film generated. It was a lot of escapist fun, and frankly that is how I like my movies.
