How to Train Your Dragon

As expected from DreamWorks these days, very cute and funny (also made me teary!) Not quite up to par with the wonderful Kung Fu Panda, but still fun.

I found Gerard Butler's voice a smidge distracting, but it might be because I watched Timeline the night before seeing this, and his Scottish accent was fresh in my mind. But don't worry, everything else (including awesome voice actors in Jonah Hill, Craig Ferguson, America Ferrera and Jay Baruchel; and the cuteness of that damn dragon) makes up for it.

ETA: I also forgot to mention: the music is awesome! And in case its not clear enough: I would totally pay to go see this again and I'll most likely own it ;)

HOT TUB TIME MACHINE!

Holy fucking shit, Hot Tub Time Machine. I haven't laughed this hard in a movie theater maybe ever. It's perfectly cast, tightly written, well-edited, and is probably the smartest "stupid" movie ever made. I cannot recommend this movie highly enough. HOT TUB TIME MACHINE!

I Was Right

Yeah, Alice in Wonderland was boring as crap.

Alice in Wonderland

Johnny Depp's version of the Mad Hatter in this movie consisted of him mixing up a bunch of his other characters (including, but not limited to, Jack Sparrow, Willy Wonka and James Barrie, with a dash of Ichabod Crane and maybe some Sweeney Todd), with horrible results.

The only parts of this movie I liked were Anne Hathaway and the Cheshire Cat.

Movies I Don't Want to See: Alice in Wonderland

Tim Burton is working my last goddamned nerve with his derivative bullshit and his sticking his stupid wife into every movie. I really don't want to see Alice in Wonderland, but I probably will because it's playing at the Vista and at least I'll get to dance to the jazzy pre-movie song about POPCORN! SODA!
