Toy Story 3 (2010)

Director: Lee Unkrich Writers: Michael Arndt (Story by John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton, and Lee Unkrich) Delightful.  I think at this point though I am a little done with these characters.  I don’t see how much more peril they can get … Continue reading

Stone (2010)

Director: John Curran Writer: Angus MacLachlan A bit different than I was expecting.  I kind of enjoyed it.  Thought Jovovich was pretty good actually.  Maybe she just doesn’t get the chance to act in Resident Evil type movies.

Megamind (2010)

Director: Tom McGrath Writers: Alan J. Schoolcraft & Brent Simons Despicable Me was definitely the better of these two in just about every way.  I didn’t find Megamind particularly funny or interesting.  The whole story can be seen miles away. … Continue reading
