I'm interested in How to Train Your Dragon - it is supposed to be the first really good movie DreamWorks has made. Although the three animated films I'm most looking forward to are The Illusionist, The Secret of Kells, and Sita Sings the Blues. Kells is out in a limited release, and Sita can be (legally!) downloaded online. I'll watch it sometime this weekend.

I saw Kick-*** yesterday and I loved it.  It was basically the best combination of hilarity and epicness that I have ever seen.  [minor spoiler]If you get a kick out of seeing a ten year-old girl slaughtering a bunch of bad guys, this movie is for you.[/spoiler]

You must see it.  There is a part where [minor spoilers] a guy dressed up like Batman breaks into a building and kills a bunch of people.  Also, during one of the many fight sequences involving Hit Girl she uses some harpoon thing to make a guy shoot himself in the head.  It was so cool!

just wana say, Kick ass was a fantastic movie. It was a unique mix of funny, serious, and superhero. Somehow it worked. i loved it!

Paris, Texas (1984) - Kurt Cobain's favorite movie. I trust I needn't say more. 10/10

Hi no Seijin

Just finished watching the second National Treasure movie on USA.  Not quite sure how Mesoamerican culture made it's way up to Cheyenne/Lakota territory, but whatever; it was a decent action movie with a nice heroic sacrifice at the end from someone I didn't expect it from.  Book of Secrets draws about even with the first movie in my book.  And was it just me, or did the movie end on a minor cliffhanger?
Best.  Cane.  EVER!

Didn't Dreamworks do Shrek?

Like he said the first really good movie DreamWorks has made XD

I really didn't like Shrek

I don't care very much for anything DreamWorks I have seen yet, but Shreks is okay.

Pea-Tear Griffin

I have never liked Shrek... I guess mainly because it was overplayed... But I'm with you Whocares

I honestly think it was insanely funny, yet still had very rounded characters who all stayed true to their natures, and a very strong story for its style of humor. The second movie was very funny, but perhaps lacking a little in story, and the third I found not to be funny at all really, but had a very good story. I think the original will always remain among my top movies of all time.

Yi yi (2000) - Everything about family life caught on film in under three hours. 10/10

Mysterious F.

Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001) - The folks at Disney Animation Studios attempt to go Indiana Jones, but failed, with this early 20th century tale of explorers going underwater to find Atlantis. Much of the character design is awful, and some of the story makes little sense or isn't developed. More fun than I expected, though, and a lot of the other aspects, such as the gorgeous backgrounds and fast-pacing, are quite good. 5/10

Also, I have five Disney 'toons left to see before I have seen all 49 of them. End-of-the-month-goal, anyone? Just so you know, those five are:

  • Brother Bear (2003)
  • Home on the Range (2004)
  • Chicken Little (2005)
  • Meet the Robinsons (2007)
  • The Princess and the Frog (2009)

    Also, Tangled, a take on Rapunzel, will be coming out this year, and there will be 50 total. Hopefully.
