Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.

Watched that just before leaving for Germany, I thought it was hilarious.

One of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. After three watches, it's still great. I guarantee you this will be remembered for a long time.
[/quote]It was kind of a sleeper hit though, honestly. Not much hubbub when it came out.

It made a big profit and it has fairly positive reviews on the sites. Sounds like hubbub to me.  :p

I watched Stalker. I'll have to take Philosophy, Russian History, and a class on the human condition again in college and give it another watch.

Sword in the Stone was better when I was a kid.  :-\

Watched "To Kill a Mockingbird" earlier today. God, Gregory Peck was amazing in his role.

He's just plain amazing.

Watched "Monsters" which was alright.  Was kinda like if The Road was less depressing lol I kinda wish they had shown abit more of the creatures in the film, as stuff like this, I always want to know more, but they want to just give you the bare minimum, if that, most of the time.

Exactly the same for me.  WAAAAAAAAAAAAY over my head.

Oscars tonight. Opinions and Predictions?


I think How to Train Your Dragon should win best animated, but I know it won't.

[copulatingduck]

Social Network will win because fuck americans are dumb

To be fair, Social Network is my pick, because it was the only REALLY good movie I saw this year.

Don't be so hasty. Look at the Annie Awards this year.

How to Train Your Dragon won in every single category it was nominated in. People like that movie something fierce.

[/quote]Have you seen the Kings Speech?  Because you should.  And if you did and didn't like it then we can't be friends any more.

I've been wanting to, but haven't gotten the time.

[EarthlingJohn]

I really liked how to train your pet dragon... i hope it wins, but toy story 3 is pretty damn hard to beat

[KarthXLR]

Toy Story won best animated, Kings Speech won best picture, and Inception took home 3 4 oscars.

Overall: Bad year for movies, alright oscars, terrible hosts.

[EarthlingJohn]

How to Train your Dragon should have won.

[Surf314]

I think there was some shitty political things going on in some of the awards. Inception should have won for best screenplay I think, and eff Toy Story 3 and Randy Newman. Pixar is great and all but How to Train Your Dragon was amazing and let Dreamworks have their one (two?) great animated movie glory.

Also a friend was telling me that a lot of hollywood insiders were pissed at how popular Inception was because they wanted to stop making movies like that and saying it was too cerebral, so they were basically giving it to Nolan to show him they flop so he could hurry up and make another Batman or something.
