  • Saw Frozen. Two thumbs up. Not really qualified to argue its songs rankings among other Disney of last 20 years.

Pocahontas sucked, no matter how many times that Vanessa Williams song played on the radio. Hercules, nope. Phil Collins ruined Tarzan. And since 2000, there haven't been many great songs coming from Disney. Enchanted had a couple, but that wasn't a full-feature animation. In my opinion, Let It Go is Disney's best song from an animated movie since Lion King in 1995.
      Agreed completely.

        That post is frightening. The only Disney song I'd recognize and be able to pair with the movie is that Lion King one.
        So Russell...what do you love about music? To begin with, everything.

        • That song's pretty good; its fun to belt out "Let it go, let it go, I am one with the wind and the sky.."

          I also like the irony that as Elsa gets colder and colder, she gets "hotter and hotter."

            My kids are LOVING this song -- listening to it non-stop. Even the two-year olds sing it.

                Walter Mitty was okay. It was fun in a "Dan in Real Life" sort of way (I really like DiRL) but the slapstick humor in Mitty was over the top. I liked the idea and thought it was well executed. There were 2 or 3 scenes that didn't need to be in the movie that "ruined" it for me. Also, the cover of Major Tom was awful....absolutely awful.

                The scenes that should have been removed were:
                Spoiler for Ugh:
                The Benjamin Button clip. The idea was funny when he said it but they didn't need to do the flashback to scene where they are actually in the movie....although one guy in the theater just about died laughing so maybe my humor index is off. Also the beat down at the airport as seen through the x-ray machine. I know there was one more but can't quite pinpoint it.


                For the record, I stayed awake for the whole thing thanks to a quick nap before the movie and a 32oz Coke Zero!

                    Same here. My girls are wearing it out right now.

                        Gidget loved it. I really liked it and wanted to love it but couldn't for the same scenes you mentioned. It was just too much silliness when the movie didn't need it. As RC said earlier, it's too bad Stiller had to Stillerize the film, because it could have been really sweet without that. I will say though that the audience in our theater loved it. There were lots of laughs and even a round of applause when it finished that caught me off guard. So like you, maybe it was just me. I will say, this was the first movie I found Kristen Wiig attractive and that is probably because of the characters she has played in other movies.

                          Yes, that one as well. It was a bit over the top although not as bad as the others.

                          The funny thing is that I'll likely buy the movie because I liked it so much, but it could have been great. I loved the plot:

                          Spoiler for Plot according to Mol:
                          The whole time I was thinking that Sean had set up this whole intricate chase game all in an effort to get Walter out of his comfort zone and have him enjoy his life a bit. The scene with the snow leopard and the dialogue between the two was great and really made the movie for me, especially when I realized Sean hadn't really set anything up on purpose.

                          • Wolf of Wall Street did not work for me. I am not a fan of Leonardo, the over the top delivery was too much, and it seemed to lack heart.

                            The profuse profanity, though common in law, politics, Wall Street and prostitution, didn't serve entertainment well. I am left to wonder why others found it entertaining. It was so bad, we left and went to watch Walter Mitty, which was by comparison light years better. And Mitty was an average film.

                            Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

                              • Soup and I went and saw Wolf over the weekend. We thought it was great. It was long but did not seem long. We're fans of Leo and Jonah Hill though so we may be biased. I was very entertained.
