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.
My dad and I watched Red today--very fun! I didn't know it was based on a DC comic, so all of those graphic-novel-based camera moves were a surprise for me.
Loved pretty much the entire cast. I'd forgotten that Brian Cox was in it, but as soon as he spoke, even before seeing his face, I knew immediately it was him. Loved Dame Helen, and, of course, being the fangirl of his that I am, I spent the entire film drooling over Karl Urban. What that man does for a suit...
I just watched Despicable Me, and it was all right. The kids were adorable, and the Minions were amusing, but I didn't find the movie superfunny. I'm sure it's great for kids, but it didn't seem to have as much for the older crowd. My vote for Supervillain Cartoon of 2010 goes to Megamind.

I concur, although Despicable Me was definitely cute.
au contraire, Dispicable Me gave me and Hubby near asthma attacks from laughter. Though neither of us ever claimed to be too sophisticated in our humor, the multi-lingual puns notwithstanding.
I didn't see Dispicable Me but I did see a short with the Minions about a banana and an apple. I must have watched it 5 times in a row. Now, I can't say 'apple' without pronouncing it baple. Charms me every time.
For Your Consideration... I didn't even realize Christopher Guest made another mockumentary and it's on Netflix instant streaming right now, AIFG!
I don't get it.
It's gorgeous.
It is. The most mellow .gifs I've ever seen. Really nicely done.
