Oops, it’s been awhile since I’ve done a movie post. Here are the movies I’ve seen recently:

We finished up series one and two of Torchwood and watched Torchwood: Children of Earth, which is only five episodes but is considered series three. A couple of things that pretty much sum up Torchwood – lots of man on man kissing and killing off of our favorite characters!! Oh well. Still planning on watching series four.

The Incredible Mr. Limpet? Don Knotts ftw!

Watched a few episodes of The Pink Panther from the Classic Cartoon Collection. Awesome!

I always watched The Jetsons when I was younger, so I thought I’d give Jetsons: The Movie a try. Gag me with a f%&%@#$ pitchfork. One word: Tiffany.

I love Chris Rock, but found Saturday Night Live – The Best of Chris Rock to be not as funny as it should have (could have?) been.

I enjoyed Gulliver’s Travels with Ted Danson more than I thought I would. The 1996 special effects were far more realistic than a lot of cgi I’ve seen.

The Hurt Locker was very well done. I don’t know if I would consider it Oscar worthy aside from the cinematography and direction, but Sandra Bullock and Jeff Daniels won Academy Awards so it’s pretty much a joke. Wow, that wasn’t very nice of me. I haven’t even seen the movies they won them for, but they must have vastly improved as actors since the last movies I saw them in. I still have no desire to watch Avatar. Ten foot tall Smurf-elves just don’t appeal to me. I’ll definitely Netflix the DVD when it comes out. I know it won’t be the same as seeing it in the theater because, “you absolutely have to see it in 3D on the big screen.” I’ll probably love it too, haha.

We went to see Alice in Wonderland last night. I thought it was great! We didn’t see it in 3D, so it was especially obvious when they threw in the gratuitous 3D shots. Also, the cgi was a tad disappointing since a lot of it still looks so fake. I generally prefer classic special effects (e.g. miniatures), however cgi backgrounds are amazing.

We finally bought Ponyo since we are huge Miyazaki fans. I’m not sure it will be one of my all time favorites, but it was still great!

Oh, I’ve also started watching Supernatural. I saw an Interview with Mark Pellegrino (Jacob on Lost) who plays Lucifer in season five of Supernatural, so I thought I’d give it a chance and watch from the beginning. So far so good. The best part for me is the music!
