Princess and the Frog. Passable Disney flick if you have kids. Creepy if you go and don't.

Don't you judge me!

Consider yourself judged. Just like the creepy adults with no kids in there this afternoon.

I saw Mongol the other night.  It was pretty good, better than I expected sure.  Some of the battle scenes at the end were a little much but overall I thought it was really good.  If it was at all accurate in its portrayal of the youth of Temujin well then that was a damned desperate youth!

It's a highly sympathetic potrait. They are making old Temujin out to be more of a hero than the source material would suggest - in The Secret History (main source for the story), Temujin was more of a desperate bastard.

Example: his own mother cursed the day he was born when, as a child, he did a most unpleasant act: he murdered two of his own brothers for stealing from him.

Item stolen:  a fish.

You didn't cross Temujin. At least, not twice.

Nobody likes to see someone getting a handjob in a movie theater, Disney flick or no.

Cthulhu  :cthulu: First half was promising then things became too fast. Some parallels to Shadow over Innsmouth were unnecessary, like having a Zadoc character. Too many ideas mixed in to be a good film. Was still enjoyable though.

GI Joe:  Rise of Cobra.  I waited for this... "movie" till it came out on blu-ray so I could netflix it.  It was about as bad as feared.  I'm pretty sure the cartoon looked more realistic than the non-stop flow of cgi that this movie was.  Also, why even call it GI Joe?  I mean what the hell.  Aside from Snake Eyes and The Baroness, it was pretty much just generic summer military action flick with a touch of GI Joe names thrown on top.  Bleh.

Still haven't seen that.  Probably won't.

You jest - but in point of fact he was alleged to have been born clutching "a clot of blood" (a stillborn twin?) which was taken as an omen of his future (violent) career.

How badass is that? He strangled his twin in the womb!  :lol:

Saw:
Inglorious Basterds
Nice flick.  Just a little over the top as you'd expect from Tarantino.  The guy is crazy, but he knows that, and he's ok with this :D

The Hangover
It's been a while since I laughed this much.  Oh my.  I think it beats Eurotrip :D  It's funny, 'cause it's almost possible... Somehow, seeing this movie, I was reminded of Kap's trip to Vegas...

Year One
Boring.  A few good jokes, no more.  Jack Black was disapointing.

De Père en Flic
This was supposed to be Quebec's greatest.  What a disapointment.  It's a comedy.  There's a good script, there are good actors&actresses, but 2 of them totally ruin the movie.
Jean-Michel Anctil as a Biker chief just doesn't cut it.  It's a caricature of the character and it might be fun in a stage show, but not in a movie.  Same goes for Louis-José Houde.  I kept seeing Louis-José Houde through the movie, instead of his character.  I don't think he has what it gots to be an actor.

District 9 - Very odd film. Not what I was expecting, much better (despite the humongous plot holes, and incoherent back story) really. It was very entertaining. Just don't think about it too much and you'll be fine.
