    I watched City of Ember this weekend and while it wasn't exactly awesome, I thought it was OK. I guess they dropped the ball on promoting that movie. I don't get why it only made $3MM.

    Robert Fure is my new hero.

    This summer, I thought that Kung Fu Panda was going to be the worst piece of crap to hit the movie screen (based on the log line), but I thought it was a great film after seeing it.

    Conversely, The Love Guru looked like a turd wrapped in rancid corned beef... and it was. (And I actually paid money to see that one.)

    Bottom line... you've gotta see a movie before you trash it.

    at first i though the emperors new groove was going to be horrible trash. bad animation, title and story.
    Once i saw the film though i thought it was absolutely hilarious and still makes me laugh my head off to this day.

    One film that I thought got a bad rap was Speed Racer.
    It seemed like everyone was ok with bashing it based on the trailers?

    I loved it. one of the best films of the year!!

    What killed Speed Racer was its running time. I saw a good number of parents just leave with their kids about half-way through cause they were getting restless after 90 minutes of coolness. I thought it was a cool flick, but I also know quite a few people who didn't want to sit through that long of a film, especially with kids in tow.

    Its funny you mention that Kevin, I saw the same thing. A few of the parents didn't seem at all impressed with the film.
    I saw one (scumbag parent) tell his son he had to goto the bathroom as an excuse, they left and never came back.

    Man what's wrong with these ppl.

    If I had a kid, it would have been a blast to introduce them to Speed Racer. Those are the moments your kids remember!!

    i didnt particualrly hate the film but just bought it on blu ray cuz i knew it would look amazing and it did. i bought it only for the blu ray experience of it.

    Good family films are hard to find.
