Right now, Emeline and I are nursing some ick so we're watching Toy Story 3 for the first time. I predict tears.
I finally watched it last night. There were many tears. And The Bear came down from the shelf for sleeping.
'War Stories'
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.

Saw Morning Glory last night. I really enjoyed it. Unlike a lot of romantic comedies, the main character is a woman I genuinely recognize as a human being. It's a comedy, so she's a bit exaggerated, but she's smart, funny, competent and passionate about her work. And it does a great job of showing us what she does and why she loves it. Supporting cast is great as well.
Total smart, charming fun.
On Friday when Dylan was sick I successfully introduced him to pre-Elmo Muppets! His favorite Muppet Movie character is Sweetums and at some point I'll have to get his plot synopsis on video because it is adorable. ("It's about a frog who has a banjo and he sings about rainbows. And then a man in a boat comes and there's an alligator too.")
I've promised him we can watch it again today while I give him a haircut.

This is me melting.

Like that "Get out of there!" thing....

There was out and out sobbing. I admit it was me. Emeline was okay once the toys got out of the incinerator. I lost it when Andy was playing with Bonnie. Paddington was immediately fetched and has been watching "Bones" with me today.
FWIW, Rotten Tomatoes is giving Skyline 10/100... compare this to the 63/100 they're giving Jackass 3D.
Saw Unstoppable this weekend and really enjoyed it. It's relatively simplistic, based on a true story and you kind of know more or less what's going to happen, but they did a great job of ramping up the suspense throughout the movie and the characters came across as really likable. Great chemistry between Washington and Pine. Rosario Dawson really shone as the yard master, major BAMF points to her!
I finally saw RED yesterday evening. Oh, what fun! It reminded me that Bruce Willis can actually be charming when the material calls for it. Of course Helen Mirren was my favorite (it was seeing her with an assault rifle in the trailer that got me interested in the first place), but everyone did a great job.
What do you know, hiring a cast with 4 Oscars and 14 nominations between them makes for a pretty good action movie!

Aww, I love Sweetums! Dylan has good taste.
I do still want to see Red--I'll have to see if it's still playing at any of the local theaters Thanksgiving weekend (Mom might be interested in seeing it).
