I saw the animated version of The Hobbit when I was young and it creeped me out so bad I refused to read Lord Of The Rings until two years ago. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077687/

It's Complicated - this afternoon. It was okay - not the best, nor the worst one I've ever seen.

Hurt Locker- C+, B-.

A great story, not enough character development, the main "antagonist" shows up and never gets the chance to tell the audience how he got there.
Each little storyline/chapter is very intense but there is no connecting them to make it a cohesive story.

Disjointed and interesting, save your money and watch it on cable.

I had heard nothing but rave reviews about HL and am now convinced that most of what is produced and packaged for the masses is nothing more that a director's chance to make money and TRY to put out a message.

It wasn't an anti war movie, nor did it glorify war. It could have been a National Geographic/History/Military channel one-hour special.

Anyone seen Fantastic Mr Fox, i have won tickets to it, but thinking of selling them or swapping them,as this is more of a kids movie i think, not really me, just be interested in your opinions.

Kari remember when you started this thread, wondering if it would be a flop or not, well it certainly was a hit with our Pters wasn't it?

I saw previews of FMF and I would go see it.

It's made in the style of the old stop action movies -they move the mannequins/puppets a smidge at a time, photo them, then move them a bit more, then another photo is taken.

The preview was interesting and some of the jokes were funny. I really enjoyed George Clooney's interpretation of the character. And, I am not a huge Clooney fan!

Thanks Richard, if i cannot swap it for a movie i want to go and see , i will just go and see it, rather than waste the tickets, or find someone else who would like them.

I've heard that Fantastic Mr Fox is actually not really that appropriate for kids. There's not anything really offensive, just the humor is more geared towards adults. That's just what I've heard. I plan to see it! I love Roald Dahl!

And, yeah, it's turned out to be a really active thread! COOL.

David saw Avatar the other night, he really liked it. I haven't seen it, yet.

I have watched The Hangover twice in two nights, that movie is amazing.

I laugh so hard through the entire thing. Just doesn't get old.
