Well, looking back, these are the films I actually went to the movieplex to see:
Wallace & Grommit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit: far and away one of the best animated features of all time and one of the greatest laugh-riot films ever. The only person laughing harder than me was another dad three rows up. When the lights went on, turned out he was none other than Adam Wilcox, City News writer and fellow Happy Farmer bandmate. I knew I liked that guy.
Godzilla Final Wars: the Godzilla flick that actually dares to end civilization as we've never known it. The big guy looks great, Gigan with chainsaws is awesome, and the spikey-haired villain in the Matrix-leather duster does the best freak-out since Jack Nicholson in the Witches of Eastwick.
Pooh's Heffalump Movie: Sweet. Roy liked it. Actually I had no complaints about it. I miss the original voices but they did a good job nonetheless.
Shrek 2: I can't say I'm a big fan of the Shrek movies. This was Roy's first venture into a darkened movie theater and that alone made the experience memorable.
The Bourne Supremacy: very edgy sequel to The Bourne Identity with Matt Damon's character becoming more menacing with each frame. I could have done without the rapid edit-till-you-puke style and the sound in the theater was horrendous: so loud the speakers were clipping. Very annoying. A good watch on DVD however. Oops, we saw that in '04. God, we're such lousy movie-goers...
That's it, folks. Hopefully next year we'll settle on a good babysitter and get out more. Truthfully, there really wasn't anything out that I felt compelled not to wait for the DVD release.
King Kong will have to wait for next year's selection. I will see that in the theater.
