Thor - Had pretty low expectations for this one, but it totally delivered. Chris Hemsworth was great in it, which I totally wasn't expecting. Loki was fantastic, Asgard was beautiful. Much better than Iron Man 2, and I'd put it about on par with the first Iron Man but behind Incredible Hulk as my favorite marvel studios film.

Really?! That is the first thing I heard that makes me want to go see it.
I am sure like many other people, the first Iron Man blew me away.

Source Code was a worthy see. I liked the music right off the beginning. I didn't know very much about it when I walked in (other then great reviews) but it really kept me engaged

I just saw that and it was the first time in a long time that I was actually scared in a theatre! I enjoyed it.

Scream 4

It was...actually pretty ****ing good. I'd put it about on par with the second, maybe a little better. It had it's cheesy moments, but you gotta kind of expect that from a Scream flick. Only real problem I had was Emma Roberts. Not a very good actor and completely miscast in the role.

I'm in a Disney mood again

The Sword in the Stone - Oh God the poor wolf, I couldn't stop laughing at it and I love Archimedes XD Why did it take me this long to watch this movie.
The Black Cauldron - Gurgi is so cute how can you not love him. Good movie
Fantasia 2000 - Not much too say about this, favorit part was Pomp and Circumstance with Donald and Daisy on Noah's Ark.
Lilo & Stitch - I've wanted to see this ever since it was released but completely forgot about it. I loved it.

Harry Potter 7, for the first time ever on Emma Watson's 21st birthday yesterday... Despite all this trivia I found out, I only watch Harry Potter for my nephew's sake, because he is a fan.

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. I thought it started it off a bit rubbish, then got pretty good the rest of the way.

I'm watching Pokemon: Giratina & The Sky Warrior as I type this. Diggin' it. Gotta say though, aside from some thrown in CGI, the animation hasn't improved all that much since the first flick. I mean, it still looks better than the show does, but whatever. The only thing I dislike about this movie (and other recent Pokestuff, seasons included) are the new voice actors. Brock's pretty on point, but Ash & the rest are really weak. That said, I've been watching most of the new stuff in Japanese 'cause these dubs make me cringe.

Anyway, this movie is pretty great, as they usually are.

Tangled
Liked it... Woulda liked it more were it traditional, cel animation.

Skyline
The "Seriously? WTF!" tone of the ending was hilarious to me, but don't go in expecting sci-fi. This is horror. Loads of questions are presented, but none are answered. Its ending was reminiscent of another, recent, alien infestation movie.

It was going to be and then they scrapped it and started over, the original concept art was magnificent! I saw some of it at the Ottawa International Animation festival back in either 04 or 05

It was actually CGI that was supposed to look like a painting. The test footage they showed looked extremely good. Even better than Tangled looks.

Well, I saw Source Code. Very, very cool. Zowie Bowie does it again.

Watched Scott Pilgrim VS The World today. It's a great flick!! Not only is it the kind of movie you enjoy more and more as it travels along but it also has heaps of retro gaming references in it.....and that's what I'm all about!! . I've never read the comics but I did download the game off of XBOX live arcade, simple old school side scrolling fun! takes you back.
Check it out of you get the chance

Scream 4 was awesome. If you didnt like the others, you obviously wouldnt like this one either. Why even bother? The whole point of scream isnt to break the mold" its to break down the current mold of horror/slasher films for the audience.

A Judith Haog double feature...of sorts...
Watched TMNT with Barron's commentary and then just put in Cadillac Man.

Fun Fact: The only member of the Cadillac Man cast who had heard of Judith's "other film" (she was working on them both at the same time) was Robin Williams, who took his kids to see it when it premiered. Robin had actually read the Eastman and Laird books, and was the only one who knew about the franchise.
