    Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs

    Rented this today from Blockbuster on Blu-Ray.

    Definitely worth mentioning to the crowd here. It was the most original, well-done animated movie I've seen in a while. Always have to compare to the "Pixar quality standard"--this one doesn't QUITE match up, but is pretty darn close. Good animation, GREAT original story plot, good character voicing, good pacing of the movie. Great to have one I can fully recommend for the whole family.

    I understand that this was shown in 3D in some theaters. I'll be buying this eventually, and I'm not sure if there's any 3D features with the full package. Quite a few well-known voice actors in it.

    I'll give :4: out of :5:

    Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

    Having a 3.5y/o at home, we get to (think have to) watch all kinds of kid friendly movies. Cloudy with a chance of meatballs is one that I don't mind seeing fairly often. The humorous random bits from the main character’s eccentric behavior help keep the movie from getting old…for the first 10 viewings.

      No kids at my house. Guess that's why I'm not all that into these animated films of late.

        Haven't seen this one (yet--with an 8 and a 4 year old, I'm sure it's in my future).

          The big, green monster with the Scottish accent just got a whole lot bigger.

          The Lego Movie
          by Chris D
          There have been several Lego-themed movies before, including animated series. I am a HUGE Lego fan, and my own feeling is that these movies have had mixed successes. Some have been cute, somewhat entertaining, but nothing I really loved. Part of the problem, IMHO, is that you're making a movie about...

          Finally saw Wonderlust on movie channel
          by Lex
          Well, that was different, and fun. Paul Rudd, and Jennifer Aniston didn't disappoint with their performances. I particularly enjoyed the whole hippie vibe and free love commune setting and when Jennifer got really into it and the character actors were nothing short of great. Even Allan Alda put in...

          In time for Halloween -- Scary Movie 3
          by Burke Strickland
          Scary Movie 3 (SM3) is solidly in the bad-taste-is funny, sight-gags-galore spoof-a-rama tradition of Airplane! (the same director did both). Unlike Scary Movie 2, which was a tired re-hash of the "original" Scary Movie, (which I enjoyed), SM3 treads new ground, parodying not just horror flicks...

          The Movie Hero
          by Chris D


          I saved this one on my DVR, from a DirecTV showing. Honestly, I'm not sure why, if someone had recommended it to me, or if it just caught me eye. I really enjoyed it, though! I saw this one as very comparable to "The Last Action Hero", in its campy setting of a story set...
