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.
