Cars was fun enough, although I agree it was on the weaker half of Pixar's incredibly successful filmography. The sequel is pretty much a lock to make 150 million domestic and 400+ overall. Although, I absolutely would also prefer an original picture. Or, instead of Cars, I wish they'd done an Incredibles sequel. Man I loved that movie.

I wouldn't mind seeing a sequel to Ratatouille. But yeah, The Incredibles was awesome for a Pixar movie.

I've recently watched Toy Story 3, Winter's Bone, and Restrepo. All are excellent. If you don't tear up at some point during Toy Story 3 you do not have a human heart.

Restrepo should be required viewing for all Americans.

I picked up The Social Network yesterday and watched it. Decent movie, but I was shocked at the average quality of the writing considering that's really its selling point to those of us who don't give a [expletive] about Facebook. There just isn't a believable conversation in the entire movie.

Black Swan...My favorite part was a trailer for The Tree of Life. That said, Mila Kunis is visually stunning.

thing that bothered me the most in that movie was the deposition scenes. You would NEVER have the plaintiffs and defendants together in the same room, much less at a depo where only one witness is allowed to speak. I understand why they staged the scenes that way for dramatic purposes, but (to me at least) it hurt the credibility of the film.

Just finished watching Runaway Train (1985). Not sure how I missed this one before, I didn't know that Jon Voight could act that well.

I've got 40 minutes left to go in Scott Pilgrim and might not finish it. It's boring the hell out of me. I feel obligated to finish it though since I paid to rent it.

Edit: abort film. After the scene where Scott Pilgrim fights the lesbian ex at the after party I'd had enough. I get it.

I thought it was a ton of fun.

Haven't seen the movie, but up here the parties are in the same room at a dep.
