Movie Madness

Had a great 'family day' today. Got to sleep in, have a good lunch and then headed to see Finding Nemo. As usual, Pixar outdid itself in an amazing feat of rendering bliss. What they can do on the digital canvas is just amazing. The amount of underwater detail was astounding, and I can say that this is now my favorite Pixar movie. Kicked Mike and the Monster's Inc. flick out the window.

This was the last movie Pixar HAS to do with Disney, which means they will be on their own as it comes to publishing. Should be interesting to see how they do. There was a short 'teaser' about their next movie, but it didn't impress me. I will hold my judgement until its released.

Had a great dinner at WhiteSpot (you know their menu finally changed.. how refreshing) and then headed home to watch WindTalkers on DVD. The reviews made it sound a lot worse than it actually was. I didn't mind it all that much. Not like 'Saving Private Ryan', but still an ok mission based WWII movie.

Was interesting to learn that the only code not cracked in WWII was that of the code talkers. Might be interesting to read more about that sometime. Right now, its like almost 3 in the morning, and I need to go to bed as I am getting up early to get some work done. Nighty Night.

I watched that one in the theatre... was good, but the main memory I have of it is Cage mowing the entire battlefield with a small little machine gun... no stops to reload, no stops to pick up more grenades, etc.
