No Country for Old Men
and
The Incredibles

No Country for Old Men is the newest from the Coen Brothers and it's definitely the best movie I've seen this year. It was just so well-crafted and features the best villain I've seen in a long time. Tommy Lee Jones and Josh Brolin give the performance of their lifetimes, not to mention Javier Bardem as the quiet, relentless hitman, Anton Chigurh. Just, wow.

I saw The Incredibles on NBC tonight. What can I say about this movie that hasn't already been said. My favorite movie of all time.

The Secret of NIMH

I had always heard bits and pieces of this film and managed to catch a few scenes from it. I thought it was one of those classic toon movies you had to grow up watching or you'd never like/love it as much as adults did.

Boy was I wrong. This was a great film, beautiful animation, classic yet lovable characters who worked out very well. Its dark and so well made, I was really impressed. My only beef is I felt that the ending and the villain's demise were a little rushed.

This film could have lasted to be a bit longer, other then that, this was a really great movie and I'm SO glad I picked this over watching "Monster House" on demand.

Surf's Up

This movie started out fairly well, and had a pretty unique and interesting concept, but just couldn't sustain itself. As the story went on, it had a pretty hard time translating itself to the mockumentary format, to the point where in the latter half of the film it might as well not have been a mockumentary at all, just your typical sporting-themed family flick in which we're treated to all the same winning-and-losing morals we've already learnt a million times elsewhere (everywhere from "Cool Runnings" to "Cars"). Still, James Woods was pretty good as that unctuous sea otter.

Man was I expecting a turd from this movie, I was totally WAY OFF! This movie was a wonderful movie. I expected a lot of cheesy jokes and stupidly obvious moral messages with animation and live mixed. Instead, I got a kick ass, well cast and acted story with enough depth and imagination in the writing.

This movie really wowed me, I never felt so inspired and honest to god: WARM over a film. The message and delivery of the theme of the movie played out so smoothly I couldn't believe Disney had made such a fantastic live movie. Disney mocks their own films so sharply and well, this was certainly no crap kid film.

The actors actually feel like cartoons characters brought to life, with every quirky line and facial expression duplicated right off the animation page. I personally found James Marsden as Prince Edward to be the most hilarious "Live toon" in the film, his peppy attitude in such a funky costume is a real treat to watch.

It's no where near the god awful likes of films like their "Shaggy dog" remake or nauseating films like "Bratz movie". This movie genuinely is smart, funny, and fresh, it suffers no watered down stupid physical/farting jokes for kids and it appeals to those looking for a real original film that can entertain kids and adults without feeling its too kiddish or dumbed down. It's a GREAT film.

I've been thinking about seeing this film. It looks funny. The one that sold it for me was in the trailer when Prince Edward got knocked over by the cyclists while he was singing! I was literally on the floor.

And don't worry: I knew that the Bratz movie was going to be a failure from the start!

Yay, Hooray! One of my favorite movies EVER when I was growing up! "Auntie Shrew, Auntie Shrew!" "A Sparkley! I always wanted a Sparkley of my very own!" Oh, and I have always loved that theme song. I figured it would be the perfect lullaby to sing to my baby, should I ever have one. Such a pretty song.

N-E-ways, the last movie I watched was The Muppet's Christmas Carrol
Charles Dickens' classic Christmas story has always been one of my favorites, add the silliness of the Muppets and whamo! A great movie! More nice music in it, too. The ending makes me want to get up and do the jig.

It really was a touching little dark movie, it was sweet and well written and animated. Probably the best Bluth film I've seen, that and Titan A.E. Like i said, I only was letdown the villain was dispatched so quickly and the ending felt a little abrupt. I wished they would have shown more.

Like Justin becoming the new rat leader or something. Mrs. Brisby was such an adorable character, so kind and polite. She's a fine example of a female lead that doesn't need to act like a female Rambo bad ass like the movie version of Tomb Raider to be a good character. Brisby worked out just fine the way she was.

I also got a little annoyed by Jeremy the crow played by Dom Deluise. I like Dom but this character just felt too much like his other roles, Tiger and Itchy. But unlike those two, Jeremy really didn't do anything in this movie. But these are minor things really, this movie really was an excellent animated film.

And the last movie i watched was Ben 10: race Against Time, I left a long ass review in the movie's thread if your curious on my thoughts on it.
