It's an animated feature film from Dreamworks with a lot of star power and yet it bombed at the box office. It's a good movie with a lot of action, adventure, humor and a star-crossed romance. What's up with that?
It seems to me that there are a lot of movies out like that. A lot of movies will never be big blockbuster hits, despite creative storytelling attempts. For me, a movie doesn't have to win multiple Academy Awards for me to like it. It just has to entertain. And, that's what movies are all about, right?
To me, a movie is about a two hour(ish) break from the daily grind. Everyday life is pretty tough. Movies (animated, cgi or live action) are just what the doctor ordered. I like going to Hollywood Video on Friday night and renting three or four films and watching them back-to-back on a quiet Saturday or Sunday afternoon or both. It's cheaper than going to the movies and you don't have to pay exorbitant prices for a hot dog, popcorn and a soda. (You also don't have to put up with that loud mouth jerk sitting behind you.)
Now, if I could just afford to get the Firefly boxed set.
Movies on DVD worth checking out:
- Hollywood Homicide
- The Frighteners
- Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within - awesome cgi film
- The Cutting Edge
- Congo
- Timeline
- Paycheck
- Renaissance Man
- Life or Something Like It
