Toy Story 3. I'm beginning to get annoyed with the fact that Pixar likes to make little kids cry.

Toy Story 3 wasn't a kids movie, IMO -- it was a movie for people who WERE kids when the first TS came out.

Excellent point. But it still made my little girl cry.
BTW, my son said, "Hey, that pig was a truck in Cars!"

Just watched Remember Me. I have to say I really enjoyed it. The whole story was a little played out . Boy meets girl , girl finds something out , girl leaves , girl comes back but man what a twist of an ending , the ending made the movie imo

Despicable Me. In the hands of Pixar this might have been a good one, but unfortunately it was not. Forgettable, I say.
Kids liked it, which I guess is the main thing. It's just too bad their brains are small for the experience.

But wouldn't it have made the kids cry then?

The Horseman... Indie Australian flick... sort of like an Aussie Edge of Darkness... even more hardcore, however...

I Sell The Dead... pretty funny movie about grave robbing and selling corpses and zombies starring dominic monaghan. recommended.

The Machinist. It was a pretty good movie I suppose, maybe a little too abstract for my liking, but I really enjoyed Christian Bale's performance. Seeing him weigh 120 lbs. was a little eye popping and, admittedly, the reason I watched the movie in the first place. I just can't believe he's dropping down to that weight again to play a crackhead ex-boxer in the The Boxer.

Watched Percy Jackson and the Olympians today with the kids. Quite enjoyable.

Hopefully he won't be writing the scripts for them either. If he wants the future installments to succeed, I think he needs to just act as producer and hand off the directing and writing to someone else. I think he needs to get the original creators more involved to give more depth to the characters. I also think they would have a better idea of what parts of Book 2 and Book 3 to focus on and which parts can be omitted or glossed over. In this film, Shamylan seemed to put more emphasis on things that really had little importance to the overall story and omitted characters and events that had much greater bearing on events in Books 2 and 3.

I think it's called The Fighter. http://www.slashfilm.com/2009/07/14/...n-the-fighter/

Saw Predators last night, and The Crazies on blu-ray today. Predators was down right bad, had to fight off falling asleep through most of it. The Crazies on the other hand was really good, better than expected. I'm a big Timothy Olyphant fan, so that probably helped.

That's what it's called. The story looks pretty good, except I'm not a big fan of Darren Aronofsky. The Boxer is actually a Daniel Day-Lewis movie made in the mid 90's. Though I haven't seen that movie in a while, it was pretty good movie if my memory serves me well.

Just watched The Searchers. One of my favorite John Wayne movies ever.
