"These are the top ten films I’ve seen at the mid-point of the year. I think it is a good idea to post a semi-annual list because instead of complaining about mundane theatre offerings the list confirms that there are enough excellent films out there to watch. In no particular order: Mother of Mine (2005; Finland/Sweden)—A young Finish boy is torn from his family by WWII and later in life comes to terms with both of hi "

"this movie's storyline somewhat parallels the last movie i saw, The Italian, however this Disney story wasn't quite as bleak! it's about an orphan (a genius by the way) who can't seem to get adopted as he's a little "different." he's already 12, so things are not looking so great. he invents a machine that can access his memories relating to what his mother looks like, so he can find her and live happily ever after. the story isn't that important, although i liked the ending. i'm giving it 4 stars because i've never seen a 3D movie before and it was fascinating! there was also a cartoon and 2-3 trailers in 3D (U2 and The Nightmare Before Xmas). i am so there and i already have the glasses (unless they only work for Disney movies)!
