haha, that's awesome. we saw that trailer and wndred "Has flippy seen this?"

Flippy, if you wander out west, we'll have to have a Jaws/Piranha/Lake Placid filmfest :)

Richard Dreyfuss is in Pirhana 3D.
How sad.
:D

Not sad. Awesome. I'm assuming he has a sense of humor about the whole thing. (I hope.) Anyway, I'm first in line when this opens in April. Now, that's sad.

Noticing Dreyfus in the trailer put it over the top for me :D

If it was a parody of 'get out of the water' movies then I'd laugh. But I dunno. It seems kinda crappy.
:D

While I didn't think Princess and the Frog was any great shakes, it's very disappointing that Chipmunks 2 will probably do significantly better than it (might even pass it before next weekend).

I'm honestly baffled by the way the marketing of trite crap works so well. Saturation-marketing turns me off, even from good movies sometimes. I know that with family films, a lot of parents simply go with what's showing, because they need something, anything, to take the kids to, but $50 million for a Chipmunks sequel? Yeesh.

A few years ago, I remember Roger Ebert reviewed the awesome kiwi movie Whale Rider, and essentially begged parents to skip the latest Scooby Doo movie or other mass market crap and make a beeline for this movie. (Rightly so. It's fantastic.) I wish there was always such good counter-programming for family audiences as a matter of course. (Even the best Pixar movies seem hyperactive and hollow next to something as warm and uplifting as Whale Rider. Can you tell I loved this movie? If you've missed it, queue it up.)

Whale Rider was amazing. Very powerful.
I loved it.
