We showed Nora The Princess Bride for the first time today. She liked parts of it, didn't like other parts. Not the best result, but it could have been worse. After it was over, she asked to watch Tinkerbell. Which is kinda like washing down shrimp cocktail with Coca Cola.
I watched Zombieland last night. I liked it a lot. There are probably more things I could say, including helpful information that would help you determine whether it was something you wanted to watch, but I just don't have it in me to write a full review today, even a review by my own low standards.
Suffice to say it was a feel-good zombie movie. If that doesn't tell you what you need to know, check the Wikipedia entry.
Just watched this computer animated film. (Amazon link.) It had been sitting on Nora's shelf for, oh, it must be months now, and out of the blue she requested it tonight.
Put simply, I was totally blown away. This movie was awesome. Moody and atmospheric, optimistic but not sugarcoated, sophisticated plot, hilarious, a wonderful fairy tale, amusing and engaging characters. I recommend seeing it.
I'm curious now to check out the book.
