I haven't seen either, but I've heard very mixed reviews of 20 Centimeters.
Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The first was the French movie Renaissance which was animated with motion capture like A Scanner Darkly and is a b/w Bladerunner type movie set in Future Paris.
Anybody seen these?
Yep. It doesn't actually look anything like Scanner, even though both animation processes involved motion-capture and rotoscoping. It's kind of a narrative mess, but I really enjoyed it anyway just for the visuals, which are stunning. Not just the animation, but the visualization of futuristic Paris.

I saw Because I Said So this weekend. For those who like throwaway fluff, it was a nice sappy screwball romance. Diane Keaton chews the scenery in more than one scene and I started closing my eyes for those, wish I'd had earplugs, too. The fun was the CFerg sighting. I squealed a little.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I...I'm afraid to watch it. I feel like a bad friend, but I was going to wait until I could rent it.

Hee. My daughter and I thought we'd do a mother/daughter bonding thing over it. Eh, NSM. I wanted to smack the shit out of Diane Keaton and Alexia was all, but she's involved with her daughter's life! I wager if I was like that she'd be running for the hills. Yeah, I'd wait until it comes out on DVD. We went to the early-early showing so it was only $4, about the cost of renting it.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I think I might be starting to look forward to Prince Caspian a bit more than I thought I would.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Ooh, pretty! Though I still mentally compared him to Samuel West, who really did a wonderful job as Caspian and was also very pretty. Or at least my mental block for anything negative about the BBC films makes me recall him as wonderful; I freely admit I'm kind of irrationally defensive of that version. Still, looking forward to it.

People who expressed dismay at the Bridge to Terebithia trailer?
You are not alone. The filmmakers behind the movie are too. From the Scifiwire article:
The filmmakers behind Disney's upcoming fantasy film Bridge to Terabithia disavowed any connection with the movie's ad campaign, which they told SCI FI Wire was deliberately misleading. The ads show a boy and girl entering a fantasy world; the scene actually takes place at the end of the movie.
"I believe it's a stretch, and it's a very difficult decision on Disney's part, but we the filmmakers had nothing to do with that promotion," said director Gabor Csupo (The Wild Thornberrys). "We don't really think that it's an appropriate way of selling the movie, but they're convinced that that's the way to get kids interested, and hopefully they will be positively surprised. If they are anticipating a Harry Potter movie, then we are in trouble. It is not a Harry Potter kind of a movie."
