Also, when Carl was watching TV, you could hear this commercial. I immediately started laughing out loud when I recognised it.

I wonder what it would take for Pixar to win Best Picture rather than being snubbed with Best Animated Film year after year.

Don't be mean, that's her default facial expression.

The one that got me a little weepy was...
Spoiler:
When he finally gets the house to Paradise Falls, and he actually goes on past the "Stuff I'm Going TO Do!" page in Ellie's book (even though I totally knew there was gonna be stuff on the pages). That last line, "Thanks for the adventure, now go have a new one." almost broke me.

Just saw Angels and Demons again, and this time I made an effort to not compare the movie to the book. I also went with the intention of searching for the supposed "hidden clues" to Dan Brown's next book, 'The Lost Symbol' and I think I actually picked up on something!

Oh, it wasn't Megan Fox that kept me and the majority of the audience interested in this movie. I think it had more to do with Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Ratchet, Megatron, Star Scream and all the other Transformers.

Well that aside, saw a double feature last night. First was the Hangover, which was beyond hysterically hilarious, and Star Trek again (some friends wanted to see it that haven't yet). But The Hangover, if you like raunchy comedies, it'a definitely a must see.

I watched "Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", actually. Old film I know, but I felt like looking at it last night. I just felt like watching the classic Disney animated films for some reason. ^^

Not bad. Watched it with a girl, so it's OK.

Just saw UP last night. Bawled my eyes out. I don't know how they did it, but I loved Ellie the moment they pulled the helmet off her head. I must have lost control of the waterworks 6 or 7 different times. Generally I resent that in a movie--my emotions are my own and I don't want them toyed with--but it was so well done, I just can't hate.

I probably won't go out of my way to watch it again. I couldn't afford the kleenex.

If i DID see it again, it would be for Doug. Doug rocked.

My Fiance's name is Kevin. I could tell he was thrilled the bird was named for him--then they revealed it was a girl. I almost shot soda out my nose from the look on his face.

If his face had subtitles, it would have gone: "Hee! That's MY name! Pretty funny bird shares my na--NO! I am not a GIRL!!"

Rescue Dawn. It was OK. Thought Bale was kinda phoning it in.

Indeed, my absolute favorite character was Doug. He deserves his own spin-off....ok maybe not.

I still love his introduction..."I have just met you and I love you..."

I also liked how Alpha talked, not the high pitched thing, but the use of words, hysterical...SQUIRREL!!!!

Exactly my reaction. "They named the bird 'Kevin." AWESOME! Wait...Kevin's a girl....WTH!!!??"

Mongol. I liked it a lot. I wonder if there will be a sequel, but I guess it doesn't really need one.

Mission: Impossible 2. I thought it was pretty good. The last part of the movie was the best. I think Mission: Impossible 3 was way better though.

Finally saw Taxi Driver. Certainly an interesting film and Robert De Niro is great in it.

I Love You, Man. It was alright, despite basically being an hour and a half of awkward moments.
