I always cry too. It's the main reason I don't want to go see the movie, because I know I'll cry like an insane person.
I watched Get Smart last week I think, it was pretty good. I enjoyed it.

I watched the 1958 Aussie classic, Smiley Gets A Gun on the weekend. Chips Rafferty was a bit of a spunk (in a slightly older man kind of way) back in the day. This movie always reminds me of the Christmas school holidays at my nan's in the country when I was little, as the one TV station they could pick up always played it.

I saw the animated kids movie Bolt today.
Seven year old son said the movie was 'awesome' and would like to see it again.
Five year old couldnt wait for it to finish.
I laughed once. Target audience is definitely kids, no adult jokes/humour included.

I have a little problem with all of these CGI movies that have come out. Bar a few exceptions like:
Toy Story 1
Ice Age 1
The Incredibles
Wall-E
Maddagascar
Shrek 1
The majority of them come across as way too fake and bland.... Good stories but the CGI distracts me from total enjoyment. Just my 0.0002 cents

I just watched Gran Torino. Clint Eastwood is one bad-ass mofo who could destroy me. I really enjoyed it, as I do with most other Eastwood films.
Who cares about jokes? Oh, the legion of Shrek fans I suppose.
I wonder if Bolt will have good animation, interesting character design, style, and exciting action sequences. That's all I watch cartoons for.

Last night I watched "His Girl Friday".
A 1940 screwball comedy starring Cary Grant.
A whole lot of fun really. Gags and patter being poured out at high speed to the point of it being hard to keep up with it.
Also great for a look into the minds of people in 1940... attitudes towards women, guns, capital punishment, politics, "coloureds", newspapers, Hitler, mother-in-laws...

Pop culture humour isn't my thing. I would rather chew my arm off than watch an episode of The Simpsons.
My humour is geared toward the absurd. Scare Tactics, The Young Ones, films like Gods Must Be Crazy and The Blues Brothers. That's what I need to laugh - not that green moron Shrek.
The Day the Earth Stood Still.
It was as lame as expected, but nothing could have prepared me for the intensely irritating bratty stepchild of the female protagonist, played by the beautiful Jennifer Connelly.
The pleasure of the original film is seeing headstrong, paranoid humans, dumbfounded by the superior technology and intellect of Klaatu. In the remake, the humans, presumably wiser thanks to films like Close Encounters and E.T, are even more paranoid, yet ludicrously sure of their own importance. Even I could have told the army commander that sending strike jets against the giant robot would be futile. But I was prepared to run with the black comedy angle, providing the robot did some appropriately retributive arse kicking.
I soon realised there was no comedy intended. The film was actually taking itself seriously with its Inconvenient Truth message. The robot fizzles, the ambivalent Klaatu, played by a Spock channeling Keanu Reeves, dithers, product placements come and go, and the Earth is saved (as if it wouldn't be) much to my disappointment. These are bad enough, but there is worse.
The subplot concerning the aforementioned bratty child... My only consolation was not having a real life bratty child sitting behind me, kicking my chair. I cringed in agony every time the little shit, played by Jaden Smith, came on screen. I fantasised about taking a brick to his pretty little face, smashing it open, prising his jaws apart, pulling his tongue out, and feeding it into a blender. Even though I didn't know who the kid was, it was no real surprise to find out later he was the son of Will Smith. I can only hope he has a seizure or something before he grows up to become a franchise, just like dad.
The Day the Earth Stood Still wasn't a total waste of money though. I had been thinking of seeing Seven Pounds - only for the lovely Rosaria Dawson of course. But one Smith film for 09 is one too many for me.
