What was the last movie you've seen?

Wha? Am I crazy? Those don't seem to have a correlation.

Do both movies not have people who leave?

Literal humor. Always a blast.

As a Whedon and horror fanboy... I absolutely loved this.

Okaaay...

I've seen both, and I much prefer The Departed.

It's funny once you explained it, which, is rare.

Fear X

This was my third attempt to watch this movie... I keep watching it much too tired for a subtitled movie and I always fall asleep, but I've watched through the first ~half all three times and enjoyed what I saw.

CHIMPANZEE

It was cute. Some beautiful shots of the rainforest, and the apes are adorable. Unfortunately, not much to learn from this film (besides from the ending credits) as it's not an educational film, but a story about one of apes.

CHIMP is narrated by Tim Allen, who does an okay job, but sounds as if he's reading on a second grade level. He only makes one Home Improvement reference, and grunts only twice.

But I love apes, so I enjoyed the movie. I even brought banana chips into the theater so I could fit in.

How many Buzz Lightyear references?

Dorothy and the Witches of Oz is a 2012 feature film directed by Leigh Scott, based on the novels The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Ozma of Oz, The Road to Oz, and The Magic of Oz by L. Frank Baum. The film was originally released as a television mini-series The Witches of Oz.

I saw the television miniseries, or more specifically the DVD release, which clocks in at about 2 hours and 40 minutes, about an hour longer than the theatrical version.

Fully grown Dorothy Gale lives in rural Kansas where she is a writer of children’s books. The inspiration for her stories is a notable one: her grandfather was the creator of the Land of Oz, that country that has kindled children’s imaginations for generations. One day Dorothy’s quiet, sleepy life gets a wake-up call when she receives an offer from a New York publisher to represent her books. Once she arrives in New York, she learns even more startling news: that her stories are not “stories” at all, but suppressed childhood memories of her own life in Oz. Now Dorothy is about to experience her childhood adventures all over again. The inhabitants of Oz have returned and only Dorothy and her friends can stop the Wicked Witch of the West, Princess Langwidere, Nome King, and her army of winged monkeys from achieving their nefarious plan to conquer the Big Apple – and the world!

Supposedly a sequel's in the works, which I look forward to.

This is the Oz film that many Oz fans have been waiting for and ranks up there among Return to Oz as one of the best adaptations of L. Frank Baum's original novels that stays true to the original without it being campy and/or a musical.




My first theatrical film of the year!

Read the story, which is expanded up here.

Loved it. It's the kinda movie where you laugh, cry, get goosebumps, get chills and find yourself humming the soundtrack for the next few days.

Can't wait until it comes out on DVD so I can watch it with my niece and stepniece... and possibly either my new niece or first nephew. Yeah, my bro and his girlfriend (who's also got a kid from a previous relationship) are expecting.
