Just saw "The Book of Eli" out on DVD. A great movie.

This new 3-D technology is fascinating to me. Just saw Toy Story 3, and enjoyed it.

I saw Book Of Eli about a week back and couldnt believe that a movie in 2010 actually dealt with the protection and furthering of the words of God. Excellent movie!

I know, Andy. I kept waiting for the politically correct punchline, ha ha! I liked it a lot too.

Recently I watched the two Transformers movies for the first time. I thought the first one was really good but the sequel left much to be desired. The second one had so much language and sexual jokes that weren't even funny. Also, it felt like the story was practically the same.

Also, if anyone here is looking for some great books to read, I highly recommend Adam by Ted Dekker. It is a great thriller. I'm currently reading Boneman's Daughters by Ted Dekker and so far it is as good as every other book I've read of his.

I'm not a Transformers fan, but I got a kick out of the funnier bits of T2. I'm a fan of the actress who plays Sam's mom, so it was hilarious seeing her really getting some great humorous material in T2.

Well, I have joined the majority that has seen Toy Story 3. And I must say that I thought it was really good. A bit "dark" though. I too have to admit I had trouble fighting the tears at the end. They didnt fall, but my chest sure was tight! I think they took the story out on a high note and we know that Woody, Buzz and the rest, will be played with for quite awhile.

"Tombstone" is my favorie movie of all time.  In fact, when I visit SDC on a 3-day summer trip I wear 2 different kinds of "I'm Your Huckleberry" t-shirts and one "Ya'll Killed 2 Cowboys" with a picture of Curly Bill from Tombstone.  I've never had comments about the Curly Bill t-shirt but I always get comments from fellow visitors and ride operators when I wear the Huckleberry Doc Holliday t-shirts.

Toy Story 3 did something most film trilogy's fail to do which is to make it as good if not better than the previous.  All three have been great!  I also like the cool references in the film.

check this site out for a lot of them.

I haven't seen Toy Story 3 yet, but then again, I haven't seen a movie in the theater in over two years.   :)

^^I love all the easter eggs that Pixar puts in all their movies!! It makes the movie seem so smart and more for older people and not just the kids.
