Movie Diary December 2012

Not as good as the first, but still had many laugh-out-loud moments. I always love the penguins. :)

Okay, this is NOT your typical Steve Carrel movie, that is for damn certain. Comedy? Eh...in a very mild sense. More of a drama, really. There were some awkward moments. Some parts were downright depressing. But overall, it wasn't bad. A story about a very typical marriage.

I was actually rather entertained by this movie. It was a satire, so if you take it too seriously you won't enjoy it.

I've watched this movie time and time again, but never really saw how incredibly sad it is! I mean, Bambi has NOTHING on Fox and the Hound!

Reason 1: You hear his mother die before the title credits are finished.
2: You later SEE the dead mother's skin hanging in a shed.
3: Lonely old woman has to give up her best friend becasue of her ass neighbor.
4: Chief nearly dies
5: In the end, Todd and Copper can't even be friends.


Fox and the Hound - Sad scene

LOVED this quirky indie movie.

I am actually watching this with the director's commentary now. Is it just me, or does he kind of sound like a jerk?

points for creativity, for sure. i loved this movie up until the last half hour or so, and it just seemed like the producers ran out of steam.

This was a re-watch. A tedious movie, yes. But a work of art.

This movie was very average. Typical Jack Black.

Once I got past the fact that Ted Mosby is NOT Ted Mosby in this film, I rather enjoyed this film. Nothing outstanding, but well written and acted.
However, I was less than impressed with the ending.

I know that this is a Christmas classic, but I had never seen it until today! I loved it! I can see why people say that "yule be laughing". Ha

The first time that I watched this movie I actually liked it. The second time, it was more meh. The third time...well, we will just say that my rating has dropped significantly. My rating of "5" is an average of the three views.

I'm not sure if I would let a child watch it. Rather morbid, in my opinion.

Why do I like these movies? Clearly geared towards kids, but I laugh at every single one. True, it's average at best, but still made me laugh.

I kind of got drug into seeing this movie with my little cousin (he's 10). It was painful to have to pass up The Hobbit and Les Miserable and say to the ticket master, "Two for Parental Guidance, please."
Anyway, after I got over that little bit of annoyance, I settled down and actually enjoyed the movie.
This was decently funny, although I believe this kind of slap-stick/eccentric parent comedy is overdone. (It really reminded me of Meet the Parents)
The acting was done very, very well. I knew that I recognized Billy Crystal's name and voice, but simply couldn't place him until I consulted IMDB. The young girl playing Harper is probably my favorite kid actress of the year.

This was wonderfully done. Mike Birbiglia’s standup is right up my ally. Loved this.
