Perhaps IASW will come to life and all the worlds children will banish the recently added Disney characters.

That wouldn't just so straight to DVD, it would go straight to the $3.99 bin at Blockbuster.

I think they should be chased out of the haunted mansion by the Hatbox Ghost.

Oh, wait.

So in the last week I've managed to see Black Swan and King's Speech. That takes me from having seen something from 2 categories up to 15.

We never go to the movies - with a big screen at home and netflix, we see things later than everyone else but who cares!

However, my husband won a gift card to Regal so we took advantage of the kids going to the grandparent's house and went to see The Adjustment Bureau.

My quick review - no spoilers but just in case:

Spoiler:

Yes, but I have no particular memory of it.

I liked the movie well enough. It isn't a timeless classic but it kept me engaged. Matt Damon has good charisma and he and Emily Blunt actually sold the "love at first sight" thing.

I'm glad it wasn't made into a non-stop action chase scene that it could have been and is frequently how people go wrong trying to translate PKD to film.

Watched Social Network.

I wanted to not like it, but couldn't. The score almost ruined it, it started to become too present and overbearing during the first act - but it stopped just in time. Other than that, loved the FaceMash "hacking" bit, raised my scripter hackles. And, cliche as the setup line was, loved the "relationship status" moment. They totally stole the Real Genius dance set. And how the **** did Eisenberg hold that face for so long?!

The 'twins' had the best lines.

The Social Network is sitting on our coffee table. Soon.

My quick review - no spoilers but just in case: Spoiler: It was very meh. Not quite what I expected. It's more a love story than anything else. I wondered if it was based on a book (you know how they seem to take a great book and the movie never does it justice) and sure enough: "This film is loosely based on Philip Dick's science fiction short story "Adjustment Team" about a salesman who discovers that the world is controlled by outside guardians" Have you read the short story? __________________ Nee Stell Thue
