While I'm feeling productive:

Twilight: like with the book - blah.  Interesting to see they'd inserted random black and asian characters into the story.  The whole weekend we were in Forks I saw one Asian guy and he was cooking in the back of the Chinese restaurant.  I don't recall actually seeing anybody African American.  Twilight just doesn't work for me.

Bolt: Despite bad reviews Bolt did work for me.  It was a loving view of the essence of dogs.  The animation of dog behaviours made it worth watching as Bolt is taught about his inner dog by a cat.  There's more to it than that but still it's fun.

Role Models: Not just a crappy teen comedy but one of the less annoying depictions of the nature of fandom  in a mainstream movie.  It certainly captured the simultaneously cliquey and inclusive contradiction at the heart of much fandom and got the message across that actually it's ok to be a geeky teenager.

Quarentine: Not even bad enough to be good.  Just bad.  Really really really really really bad. 

Other note to self, must remember to get more Blu-Rays.

considering that Bolt opened here on 13th Feb, it's STILL playing to full theatres at my local, over a month later.

Didn't bother with Quarantine, since I saw the original, Rec:, which is actually rather good.
