He has said this will likely be his last acting role. And I am rather bummed he didn't get at least a nod from the academy for the acting...but what do they know? They think "Button" is the bomb, when it was only average.KRhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07625659757140910485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5996781475668176545.post-43286759197002878682009-01-12T14:18:00.000-07:002009-01-12T14:18:00.000-07:00Not sure I agree with you on all of it, but a great list.

My 4 year old boy could watch this movie over and over and over from the moment he wakes up until he falls asleep. And do it again the next day.

If you are a three year old boy, the movie speedracer is the absolute ULTIMATE in entertainment.

Since I have kids I saw almost every kids movie that came out and have to say that the three that are on the list were good and worthy of their place, even Horton.Mad Hatterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06608228558159534140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5996781475668176545.post-77372580639860252882008-08-07T08:25:00.000-06:002008-08-07T08:25:00.000-06:00Man with trenchcoat movie sucked :)David Chambershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10535717594636231753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5996781475668176545.post-58777488505025195832008-06-14T14:42:00.000-06:002008-06-14T14:42:00.000-06:00I just watched this and don't think I could feel any more differently about this movie than you did. I was presently surprised by the unique uses of many of the songs and thrilled that I didn't have to watch the same song / scene that I had seen a thousand times (The "I wanna hold your hand scene" is a perfect example of this). To be fair, the story is one we have seen before but I was O.K. with that because the way it was told carried the movie. I could go on and on but I will end this by saying that if you liked Moulin Rouge, Once, or any of what I like to call modern musicals this will be right up your alley.Mad Hatterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06608228558159534140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5996781475668176545.post-76327542581193018092008-05-30T09:32:00.000-06:002008-05-30T09:32:00.000-06:00The first 5 or so times I tried to watch the original of this I fell asleep. Before the collapse of HDDVD I was planning on picking this up for review. Maybe I still will because once I finally stayed awake through it I really liked it.Mad Hatterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06608228558159534140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5996781475668176545.post-13652479077492067312008-05-30T09:29:00.000-06:002008-05-30T09:29:00.000-06:00Seriously? Never? What else are you hiding from us? Did you know they made this movie where a crazy doctor converts a Delorian into a time machine? What about the one where the cute fuzzy animal gets wet and unleashes horror on us all? 5 kids in a library on Saturday detention? Man in trenchcoat with boom-box over his head?

True, KV. But I liked this one more than Temple of Doom (but nowhere near the other two).<BR/><BR/>And while I liked the 1950's theme and plot, I didn't like how Indy did absolutely nothing in the last scene. He just kinda watched as events unfolded.Johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09830570119842963217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5996781475668176545.post-48614085562558636502008-05-29T08:44:00.000-06:002008-05-29T08:44:00.000-06:00I don't know how people liked this movie. That Harrison Ford quote from Star Wars kept running through my head: "George (Lucas), I'm sure you can type this sh#t, but you can't say it!" Lucas should be beaten with a dirty keyboard for putting Indy into this stupid story. For a real Indy crapfest, watch "Temple of Doom" at home before you go see KOTCS.KVhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14367654313859907292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5996781475668176545.post-73481897402706437222008-05-28T22:37:00.000-06:002008-05-28T22:37:00.000-06:00Seriously.
