[quote=""nona""]Get Smart, lol, absolutely the funniest movie I've seen yet this year.[/quote]
The critics really panned it, but man we just loved it! I think they were expecting it to be just like Get Smart the tv series. It wasn't - it was a smarter, cleaner, wittier one for the 21 century. Loved it!
We are going to see Changeling this weeken.

[quote=""nona""]I haven't watched it just yet I plan to once we get back from the library and Ihave never read the book either so I'm going in blind on this one.[/quote]
That's probably the best way to approach this version of WH! I agree with Christina that JB's French accent (lovely as it is) isn't really right for a Yorkshire lass, but it does stick closely to the book which most of the other movie versions don't (eg the one with Timothy Dalton which had Heathcliff being shot dead by Edgar) - there certainly have been some strange versions of this book!

We just finished watching Kung Fu Panda on DVD (we got it from Netflix the day before it hits stores!). We had seen it in IMAX when it came out. Fun movie, and, IMO, the closest DreamWorks has ever come to making a Pixar-level animated movie.
And for something completely different, earlier today I watched Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd. It was good---but very weird and icky at the same time.

I saw the first couple of episodes but then managed to be out for the rest. I am hoping they will show it again soon and I will record it.
