The Lego Movie the other day. Fantastic movie. The only part that just really bothers me is when Emmett is able to move himself in the real world. Just doesn't really make sense considering everything before was JUST established to have happened because of the kid playing with the figures. Seems a lot like plot convenience to me

It's because the "real world" part of the movie never happened either. It's all a part of the kid's imagination. He only ever imagined that he got into his dad's Lego, but really the basement is under lock and key. He pretended that his dad came around, reconciled with him, and eventually let him into the Lego room, but none of that actually happened. That kid is living a desperate fantasy from the first minute.

Uh gosh a bit depressing for a comedy movie a bit much?

I just figured the "Lego World" is an alternate dimension fueled by imagination (of both the Father [Man Upstairs] and his Son) and that his son's playtime was altering the alternate world; whilst his father's obsessive collectiveness and order fueled the opposing forces in the world. After the Father and Son reconciled peace came to the Lego World; that is until the Daughter came to play...

Also I bet money that Lord Business is the AFOL Father's sigfig... Just imagine LordBuisness343 as a Eurobricks user talking about how he thought he saw a minifigure move in real life once!

Hamlet. It seemed to be a 2009 film from BBC.

It was good. I'd surprisingly never seen it before, in any format, stage or film, so it was completely new to me.

I enjoyed it. My favorite character was the Grave Digger.

Just watched the newest Ice Age movie, and here's my opinion....

I know this is a movie for kids, but what's up with those slapstick comedy content? Some going way too overboard (Like Mars turn into a lifeless planet because a UFO crashes into the planet) and some of the jokes are overused that it becomes annoying. Sure there's some good thing about the movie like the soundtrack, but the comedy content in the movie is just a big-no for me and the story is a mess.

To Kill a Mockingbird. First time I'd seen it. A classic, but still depressing.

Depressing indeed. But necessarily and realistically so.

I saw a magnificent stage production of it recently. It was beautiful in it's depression. It's an odd story that way.

My young cousin's came to visit; so we decided to take them to our local Drive In Theaters double feature.

The first film was "Secret Life of Pets" it wasn't a classic... but it was cute and non-offesnsive. Animation was good (not surprising though), and the film was fun and traveled briskly through its run time.

The second film was Angry Birds. It's pretty embarrassing that Lego wasted time on sets for this film. The story was basically the first 60 seconds of the video game, extended over a feature length film. It was awful. 70% of the film was without conflict, only following obnoxious characters I couldn't care about. My mom while watching the film broke down in laughter because the plot was so nonsense she said "I feel like I'm high! This is nonsense..." The adult humor in Angry Birds was far to overt, without Disney's genius subtlety, and far more overt than either Warner Brother's Looney Tunes and Animaniacs.

Oddly enough, one of my younger cousins was in love with Angry Birds, and even while my mom and I were criticiszing it, this cousin yelled from the back of our truck bed how great the film was. He stayed awake all until the end of the film, at 1:00 am!

So my list of worst films I have ever seen now includes: The Master of Disguise, Angry Birds, Troll 2, and Gentleman's Broncos (which ironically was filmed at the same Drive In Theater I saw Angry Birds at :P )

Jason Bourne.

Somewhat a dissapointment; although I sat on the most back row; the actionsequences where filmed too close up, making it hard too follow.

Storywise it was 'meh'; not similar to the old Bourne movies, not being one step ahead of the guys he's up against and everything goes too smooth.

I liked it more than Legacy

What really killed it for me was how they followed every corny movie trope there was, like the ridiculous hacking sequences or Alicia Vikander's character saying 'enhance' in the first chase scene. Overall it was still enjoyable but maybe they should lay the series to rest.
