Hey gang.
I'm still working on getting my internet back up at home. It's a slow day so far at work so I figured I'd update really quickly.
Went and saw the following:
Quantum of Solace: B+ Due to the nature of the story, this one isn't as witty or charming as Casino Royale. That being said it is still a solid Bond movie. The action set pieces are very intense and Daniel Craig is lovely as ever.
Twilight: C I've read the series and if you are interested in checking them out I'll give you this thought. Stop after the first one. The movie is okay. The photography is great and Edward is awfully pretty (though when he bugs his eyes out it gets a bit weird). The story moves slowly and I don't think you get a real sense of the push and pull between the characters. It was amusing the hear the teen age girls in the audience react to certain scenes.
Bolt: B Went a friend and her kids to see this and I'm almost scared to admit I enjoyed it. The movie isn't on par with the two big (and amazing) animated movies of this year, Kung Fu Panda and WALL*E, but it is really quite enjoyable. The story, while predictable, is not so cliche that adults will be bored with it. The voice work is quite good, esp. Mittens the cat and Rhino the hamster who pretty much steals the movie for me. The animation looks cinematic, esp. in the action sequences involving the tv show that Bolt stars in. This is definitely a family film that all ages can enjoy.
Keep your fingers crossed that I'll be up and running internet wise soon. Have a great Thanksgiving!
