happy feet - watched it with my son who was home sick yesterday :(

not a bad film ... i'm getting extremely sick of the 'its ok to be different' message that seems to be the point of every kids film ..but he sure liked it.

you know, I liked this one too, but what got me was the "question the validity of your gods" angle to the story. Really odd tone and some rather frightening action sequences that scared my 3 year-old just enough for him to love the sensation of being scared.

I really like the way Miller isn't afraid to deal with death and scary themes in his kids' films - like the much darker (and a little better) Babe: Pig in the City

great, overlooked film.

"Westworld"

A great early '70's sci-fi western. Richard Benjamin and James Brolin as tourists at a futuristic amusement park where you get to play cowboys and fight robot outlaws. Everything is great until the robots start acting out there roles for real.
Yul Brynner (in Magnicent Seven costume) costars as a android gunslinger

Nuevo Mundo
it was banned in Mexico for 20 years because it depicts the creation of the image of La Virgen de Guadalupe as a work for hire from the Church instead of teh "miracle" that so many Mexican hold dear.

good movie.

Disney's The Black Hole. I thought it was "oh, okay I guess" when it first came out but I like it more and more. Funny how the robots looked so "cute" in 1979 and look more stylized than cute now. Back then people were pointing at the robot designs..."Look! Look! It's a Disney Studios film, all right. See how they couldn't resist putting cute robots in it?" But the cuteness just doesn't seem so harsh after the passage of twenty-five years or so. Dark story, at times very creepy in a subtle way that's underappreciated.

Thats what I thought until they started to explain the history...took a fast nosedive into a realm of plot holes, contrived twists and just flatout "bad"-ness.

Oh, and the part where they were trying to ripoff The Thing was stupid, too.

Spider Baby, or The Maddest Story Ever Told

Not bad...started out stong and went downhill somewhat, but still a very enjoyable little flick

Species 3

Wow, this series really dropped the ball on this one. The original & sequel were pretty solid alien horror, but this one was just a jumbled clusterfuck of too many ideas thrown into a confusing plot. I was not entertained much at all & I guess I never expected to find myself missing Michael Madsen's presence in a film, but I did. This film was lacking in everything from acting quality & gore to a good story. The thing I found most confusing was that this film had multiple alien infants (Whereas the first 2 films pretty much stuck with 1) and because they reach adulthood within days, it was pretty tough to keep straight who was an alien and who was a human. I don't know... Terrible execution here.

Talladega Nights

I didn't expect this to be as funny as it was, but I was in the mood for a cheesy saturdsay night live stlye comedy. When Sacha Baron Cohen came into it it became freakin hilarious. I didn't even know he was in the movie till I watched it.

Wayne's World .. this flick isnt aging well .. mostly due to the fact that Meyers has been recycling the same jokes over and over since this one.

The Garth character is still funny - i always thought he was a better defined character than Wayne..

Idiocracy

7/10 Me and GF launghed alot at this one. Its pretty stupid comedy, but sometimes thats what one needs. I also think that society is already pretty close to the future depicted in this one.
