Half Nelson.

Spectacular performance by Gosling, decent indie movie. Glad that Gosling got nominated for best actor in a leading role.

I wish someone would watch Hard Core Logo just so I could talk about the WTF element.

I don't even know what that is.

It's a movie that depicts a punk rock band trying to win and trying not to in. It is great. But I say that only if you watch it until the end.

I'm guessing my local Blockbuster doesn't have that one.

Went to see Up in 3D this weekend. The 3D effect was pretty cool; the movie was great. It's not even fair to call it a cartoon, since it's so gorgeous, and the story (particularly the beginning sequence) is so affecting. My wife cried.

the opening 10 minutes of Up tells a movie long story so much better than so many other full length films and it does it in 10 minutes without any dialogue. It destroyed me.

Dumb question- have you seen Wall-E?

I haven't seen "Up" but your description, IMO, could also apply to Wall-E.

Up really was a great movie. I completely agree about the beginning sequence - it was masterfully done. I enjoyed a lot of the humor, too, especially from Dug. Nobody really knows what a dog would say if he could talk, but I imagine Dug's dialogue is a pretty close approximation. The bit about hiding on the porch really got me laughing for some reason.

yeah, saw Wall-E and felt it was on the same plain. I wonder if it's becoming a trend for them or just coincidence. It was the perfect way to begin Up by giving us the back story for the old man who's the main character without bogging down the beginning of the adventure too much.
