yeah, it wasn't a very good movie, but seeing it in a 3-D IMAX theater was pretty cool.

I think I would have liked Avatar more if I went into the theater expecting to see cool 3D images for two and a half hours. Instead I expected a movie, and somewhere between the premise, writing, and the plot, this thing I was watching just didn't do it for me.

Just in case it inspires anyone to go see The Muppets, there's a barbershop quartet version of Smells Like Teen Spirit in it, performed by Beaker, Link Hogthrob, Rowlf, and Sam the Eagle. And also a cover of Cee Lo Green's [expletive] You performed by Gonzo's chickens.

Saw Enemy of the State - a "family" movie selection by my sister in law. Entertaining enough. I am not proud to say I saw it- but something to do while drinking beer

Downfall is on streaming now, so that should help restore my faith in cinema.
Wow, I saw a movie before someone. I didn't see it in 3D though. But it wouldn't change my opinion that it was kinda dumb.

The Descendents- I kept thinking, I don't care about these people or their problems.

I was already going to see it, but damn. Now I'm going to see it today.

Considering that the movie is about the smartest guy in the world, this had to have been one of the stupidest movies I've ever seen. Every single [expletive] scene in the movie was just one moronic non sequitur after another.
