1. Polar Express - a little weird, but delightful for adults and older kids.
Little K spent much of the time on one lap or the other. She was scared a few times. But mesmerized most of the time. At least two families with younger kids - maybe not quite 2, left early.
2. The Incredibles - didn't see it, but the boys came back singing it's praises. There is apparently a reason it's been at the top of the box office for two weeks in a row.
3. From Netflix - Monster. Yikes. Charlize had me convinced she was a total nutjob scumbag. I'm still not too sure she isn't....
4. Also Netflixed - Whoo Hoo! Wiggly Gremlins! Now, anything with Whoo Hoo in the title has got to be fun. I liked it better than many other Wiggles DVDs. Good music - fun, catchy songs. The strange people are just a part of the whole package. I've gotten over it.
5. Netflixed, natch - Family Guy - season 1 or 2, who knows which volume. They're all the same. I can't stand these, but the boys in my family think they are hysterical. I can kind of see the humor, but I have this awful reaction to the PITB baby, who naturally is supposed to be one of the funniest parts. He irritates the crap out of me. So I try to avoid the room when it's on.

A friend once wondered why my sister has a really great blog and I didn't, since I'm the geek who works in IT. Yeah, well she's the better writer. But he made me think, so here it is. Just remember, you get what you pay for.

Hey, we saw Polar Express today! A. did really well. I thought the first half was a little scary, but overall I liked it. I was wondering, though - who's their target audience? If you take any kid 4-7 who's NOT wondering about Santa Claus, they will be by the end of the movie.
Must be the older, more cynical crowd - though the animation makes it look like it should be for the little ones. I thought the little "hero girl" was a little frightening, myself... but she gave good hugs.
