Again Pixar can (all most) do no wrong (Cars 2 being the exception).  I was almost worried it would get another C rating. Dave gave it a higher rating then Steven.  I had read the book (or listen to it on CD) of Abe Lincoln:Vampire Hunter and liked it. I though that the film might be too gory and violent but Steven gives it a B - which means I think I can watch it.  I’m wondering if the the new Steve Carrel movie will be worth watching. He is a great comic actor but will the movie have only the laughs in the trailer?  I’m sorry you have to talk about ‘That’s My Boy’ tonight on your show, but thems’ the breaks in reviewing main stream films. May you have time off in purgatory and save others from this bad films. Maybe Adam Sandler will think how bad the film is and repent of his sins. My wife and adoptive grandmother really liked ‘Jack and Jill’.  I liked ‘Bedtime Stories’ and ‘Click’.

We saw Brave yesterday and absolutely loved it! Adults and children were in awe.  I talked to a few friends who were in the same cinema, watching separately with their families, after the movie.  The consensus was excellent.  Some adults were even crying, but happy tears.  I plan on getting the DVD when it comes available. 

I have not interest in even seeing Abe Lincoln.  While waiting, the kids were discussing the movie.  In general, making Abe Lincoln a vampire hunter just wasn’t a good fit.  I’ll wait for Netflix or Amazon on this one.
