Fantastic Mr. Fox - loved it. One of the best kids' films I've seen in a while.

Went and took the kids to see Tooth Fairy - wanted to see something other than animated.

A bit predictable, but there are some pretty funny lines from Billy Crystal and you get to see The Rock without his shirt on. Kids & adults enjoyed it.

One thing though - why do they insist on allocated seating when there are only 12 people in the cinema?

I took the kids to see Tooth Fairy at the Dromana Drive In last week.

Put the kids in the front seats and got into the back one with the misses.
It was OK. And the movie was entertaining as well.

I watched Capote on DVD the other day. Solid movie, got me interested in knowing more about the guy.

But Philip Seymore Hoffman has to be one of the most brilliant actors ever

Went with my wife to see "Up in the Air" yesterday - starring George Clooney.

Good film. Good watch. Going to be seeing Bran Nue Day soon. It was a great play / muscial I recall seeing in the '80's I think. memory ain't too good.

Saw "The Tooth Fairy" with my nephew after I'd taken him to Pies training. Was pretty good, I quite liked it. Never seen The Rock in a pic before, but I will surely be looking out for him now! HOT

Haven't seen that yet but i loved the book, i've read it dozens of times. suprised it has taken this long for a movie version of it to be made.

Took my daughter to watch The Princess and the Frog the other day. I'd recommend it, although the Voodoo Priest from New Orleans scared her a bit. :)
Also seen Nine last week, not my preferred genre but I liked it. Good choreography and excellent use of symbolism. Wasn't previously a big fan, but Penelope Cruz in lingerie is very visually pleasing. Two thumbs up.

Watched "Up in the Air", and I can see why it has been nominated for awards.

Watched Sherlock Holmes last night. Was okay, but not sensational.

Quite a few friends have been to see It's Complicated - said it was hilarious.

Not a big fan a Meryl Streep but I love Alec Baldwin in 30 Rock, so I will have to check it out for myself.

You'll be happy to know their making another Karate Kid with Jackie Chan as the master, I think.
