I know critics slobber over Pixar like Tony slobbers over Aaron Miles, but the stats over at RottenTomatoes are pretty impressive for Toy Story 3.

Reviews Counted: 97
Fresh:97
Rotten:0
Average Rating: 8.7/10

I have to wait an extra week, but I'm geeked out.

Mongol: The Untold Story of Genghis Khan, http://www.mongolmovie.com/ . I was pleasantly surprised how well my daughter adapted to subtitles.

Beautifully filmed historical fiction bio. Really well acted. I loved the physicality of the guy who played Temujin's blood brother and eventual rival.

I just saw The New World the other night. Freaking incredible. I love Terrence Malick.

finally got a chance to see A Serious Man after Netflix finally got enough of the blu rays in (I'm getting snobbish on blu ray vs DVD...it's pretty aggravating since I could have watched the dvd version months ago). Loved it. Upsets me even more that it got a nothing release and wasn't well recognized.

Next up is The Road. I'll couple those two with a viewing of the sure to be idiotic A Team this weekend, too. Hopefully I'll fit in Toy Story 3, too, since I'm going to be on call and a theater pariah for the next 6 weeks straight.

I think they've been trying to get this distributed for a year and a half. I waffle between feeling outraged and being fascinated that it exists.The word among people who can stomach this kind of thing (NPI) is that it's not very good. Whatever that means in this context.


AD's link had a reference in the comments to this review from Ebert. It's pretty funny:
