Mark Vader Posted June 18, 2010 Author Posted June 18, 2010 for Toy Story 3!!! The surprising thing to me is how dark this movie is, nevertheless, there are plenty of hilarious moments, some great new characters(Lotsa Huggin Bear & Ken), and you may need some tissue during the ending. Pixar has done it again.
Mark Vader Posted June 19, 2010 Author Posted June 19, 2010 I never actually saw the 3rd Shrek, so I don't know what happened at the end of that one, but I kind of missed having Donkey sing a song before the end credits. You did'nt miss much by not seeing Shrek the 3rd. After having seen both Shrek Goes Forth & Toy Story 3, it is amazing how far ahead Disney/Pixar is over Dreamworks/PDI.
\GoBillsInDallas/ Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 Speaking of Knight & Day, because early buzz is positive 20th Century Fox has now bumped up it's release date to Wednesday, June 23. It will have a whole week of the box office to itself before Eclipse comes out. Went to see Knight & Day. The good news is that I won free tickets to see this movie. The bad news is that I still had to pay for $8 popcorn and $4 soft drinks. My observations: - Another movie where actors and actresses try to play characters that are 10 to 15 years younger than they are in real life. - This movie has a high CPU (audience cell phone usage). A lot of people checking their e-mails during a movie is never a good sign for a movie. - I can make better CGI on my laptop. - Another secret government plot. - Another device that doesn't exist in real life. - Magically, a female character who has never fired a gun can suddenly fire one like a professional. - Tom Cruise suffers from the dreaded Hollywood disease where hair gets darker and thicker as he gets older. - It's one helluva body count for a PG-13 movie. - Cameron Diaz must have a clause in her contract that pays her extra for each scream.
WWVaBeach Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 Saw Grown Ups this weekend. It was so obvious that it was nothing more than a series of one-liners by stand up comedians. That being said it was still a decent movie. On our next camping trip after a bunch of I'm going to try to get everyone to play arrow roullette!
