Beowulf and 30 Days Of Night

Ratatouille was no Happy Feet? I disagree there. Ratatouille was intelligent, had great voice overs, unbelievable CG while still maintaining a cartoon sensability. The review at the end of the film sent shivers down my spine. Happy Feet was a jumbled up mess that bounced from a message of "be yourself" to "the humans are killing the penguins" and back and forth. I found it to be a depressing flick at the end...

And if you're talking about blockbusters, Casino Royale is the one to beat IMO out of the last couple years. It was mature, had heart, and great action sequences. Live Free or Die Hard is my favorite action film of this year, but it is no where near the quality of CR.

Might not be your thing, but have you seen The Lookout?

The Lookout was actually pretty damn decent. Daniels was magic, but that Bone character was pathetically bad.

Casino Royale I can't speak of, because it's just not my thing. Something about Bond has just never gelled with me- but from a technical/acting standpoint, it was all well and good.

The 4th Die Hard film on the other hand, I found to be a complete disaster.. the worst of the 3 sequels and I don't even like the other two sequels all that much.

As for Happy Feet, I really just don't understand the hate this movie gets from some of the internet. It's easily my favorite animated film since the Land Before Time, and also just plain excellent on pretty much every level. Pixar puts out some good flicks(and Rat was one of their finer efforts) but it seems to me that nearly everything that's a cartoon and not attached to Pixar these days gets crap for no reason other than .. it's not Pixar. I haven't met a single kid, friend, or adult that hasn't loved Happy Feet. I don't know if I've met a person that even remembers Cars.

Die Hard 4 was over the top and pretty much completely implausible, BUT it was just an amazing amount of fun. The action was top notch, and it was just an adrenaline ride. Does it touch the original? Not at all....but it was just a fun time at the movies - something that doesn't happy anymore.

This Year's Action Films:
1. Live Free or Die Hard
2. Bourne Ultimatum
3. 300
4. Transformers
5. Beowulf
6. Spider-Man 3
7. Pirates 3
8. Fantastic Four 2

Interesting... I'd think most people you'd talk to would almost automatically know Cars and probably enjoyed it (it was the number 3 film at the B.O. last year). You're right... most people I know enjoyed Happy Feet, but I do know a few who didn't, myself included. But then again, most people aren't as picky as I am.

It surprised me too, with the numbers being what they were. Literally every house I've been to with a movie cabinet and kids- from my best friend's family full of younger sisters all the way down to kids I've only babysit for once- no one owns the damn thing around here.

Most of the films on my list are basically on a lot of other peoples lists.
So your saying everyone has bad taste in films but you.
I was going to say films are subjective and thats the best thing about film, but whats the point, your taste in films is so Superior to everyone elses

Yeah it was great wasn't it ? Kevin had an awesome performance in it.

It was the only performance I loved Kevin in.
Cook wasn't too bad himself.
I loved Mr Book's interaction with his imaginary friend.
