Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1978)

I gotta shape my mashed potatoes like Devil's Peak! The tempo is a little slow for this quickie generation. The first third of the story, I asked myself , "What the..what's happening.. what is he thinking...etc." Then I look for the required phrase in almost EVERY movie : "I don't understand." That used to nearly kill me, but now I see it as an Easter Egg of sorts. I would place a bet that someone would say it , oh, about 45min. into the movie. This movie is an oldie, where the story has to carry our interest to the very end, and not the cgi nor other fx. Now that communication tune is playing in my head! I would reccomend this movie to anyone who has had experience with UFO's and other weird creteures from Crete. Ha ha, just kidding. Sorry Ya-ya Billie. Seriously, anyone who is studying film making should tear this movie apart and make another one. This time with gobs of special effects.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008)

I saw this movie with my husband who is a Star Wars fan. He thought it would be to the calibre of Lord of the Rings series of movies. It was too "kiddy" for him, so the next week we took our 11 year old daughter, her best friend, and our teen daughter to see it. I must admit, I liked it better the second time around. Here's what the kids said about it: " C lone Wars is a super cool movie. We went to see it with our best freind, and we all shared the same favorite scene: when the captain of the clone troopers told a number of droids " You are out numbered. So the droid says" Hold on a sec... 1, 2, 3 *BOOM* " (Look out for this part of the movie. Everyone in the theater was laughing their heads off, especialy the little kids.) Anakin Skywalker is still the good guy in this movie. The Girl in this movie 'Asolka' is a sassy charecter and a great Jedi -to-be. I think (becuse of this movie) I might be a Jedi for Halloween. I have to admit, this is in my mental list of favorite movies."

Wall-E (2008)

WALL-E is a cute story that my tweens liked a lot. I believe they were studying the romantic butterfly dance between WALL-E and EVE. I wasn't sure why the robots wanted to keep humans inactive. Did they draw their evergy from himan fat cells? Somebody help me with this, please. I missed it. I must have been munching on too much loud and crunchy popcorn.

Tropic Thunder (2008)

Tropic Thunder, Tropic Thunder... what can I say about this film? While watching this, I got this nagging twitch in my cheek. By the end, my eyes were dripping blood. My brain was trying to escape from the theater without me! I felt this was a first draft skit put together by bored rich guys. Walking out of the theater, I scanned the posters of movies I wish I saw INSTEAD.
