Even though Sid becomes the garbage man from Toy Story 3.

Did he really?  I didn't even notice.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) - Amazing film. Set sometime in the near future, Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey are a couple that has recently had problems, and Kate has her memories of the relationship erased by Lacuna Inc., and Jim does the same soon after. I won't spoil the rest for you - it's too good. 11/10

Neither did I, really. It's what I heard, though.

I'm gonna have to see it again to confirm it. GET ON WITH THE DVD SOON, DISNEY, 'KAY!?

Remember the 1,000 Greatest Films list I posted earlier this year? Well, the website has made an anti-consensus: Ain't Nobody's Blues But My Own. The goal of this list is to collect the little-known personal favorites that got very little votes in the 1,000 list and couldn't make it.

If Being John Malkovich were a person I would make love with it. That is how good it is. It's hilarious.

Apparently a movie about Facebook is coming out next month. It's supposed to be funny.

In a late response to the above, I heard that it's actually good.

Anyway, I'm bringing this topic back because I saw Tangled the other night. HOO, BOY, is it good! It has an interesting twist on the Rapunzel story most of us probably heard of (I'm assuming you aren't in the know of the Grimm version), has plain hilarious moments, plays with your general emotions, and (believe it or not!) has moe appeal! The latter probably wasn't intentional, but it's still there.

GO. SEE. THIS. MOVIE. Chuck Norris commands it!

I would love to find the first Tron movie somewhere so I can watch it before I see Tron Legacy.

And before I watch Gulliver's Travels, I want to try to find the book it's based on and read it.  Right now, I'm not so sure about the modern twist they gave it.

[MagmarFire]

Yeah, I'm not sure about it, either. The trailer makes it look, for lack of a better word, stupid. That, and there's also this...

I saw The Roommate this weekend.  It was pretty good, but some parts were quite predictable.  [spoilers]Like the minute Sara brought the kitten to her dorm room, I knew Rebecca was going to kill it.  The ending sort of annoyed me because there I seriously doubt a box cutter to the back is enough to kill someone.[/spoilers]

So, skimming through this month's Game Informer brought my attention back to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.  The fourth movie, On Stranger Tides, will be coming out May 20.  Here is the official trailer.

I just finished watching Kick-Ass.

What a delightfully, satisfyingly violent film. Really an adrenaline-pumper. Hit-Girl's balisong techniques (and the balisongs she uses) are simply gorgeous, as well. The ending's a little ambiguous, though, unfortunately, but if you can take the foul language and the violence, I'd very much recommend it.

Bump time.

If anyone is going to watch "What's Your Number" because you want to watch a stupid movie, but don't like the romantic comedy genre, let me save you some time and money with this plot synopsis I put together from the trailers.

Ally is sitting with her friends at a bar or some other sort of drinking establishment, when someone makes (or more likely repeats) the logically ridiculous claim that if a woman doesn't get married by her twentieth boyfriend, she will never get married.  Ally realizes that she only dated nineteen people and she's on her "last" chance to find a husband.  So she gets some guy she knows to help her track down her exes in an attempt to get married before she hits that dreaded number (which for once isn't thirteen or four), despite the fact that there were very good and very obvious reasons why she broke up with them.  By the end of the movie, she falls in love with the guy she got to help her and comes to the conclusion that "You can't live life by the numbers," a line she straight out says in one of the trailers.

Take that money and watch Wolverine play with boxing robots instead.  It's probably just as stupid, but dude.  Boxing robots.

On another note, for anybody who watched "True Grit" and the 2010 remake:  Should I watch the remake?

[Mysterious F.]

I actually like the remake better than the original, HNS.
