Completely love Toy Story 3. Saw it for the 3rd time today. Finally saw it in 3D. Audience applauded at the end, twice. Lots of crying adults. (I only teared up this time, but managed not to cry like the first 2 times.) This movie is just wonderful. I was so afraid this would be bad and ruin the series for me. I am so so sorry I doubted Pixar.
I am not sure the people at Pixar know how to make a bad film.
Knowing all the darn teenagers,
Twilight is going to kick Toy Story ass D:
Not in the long run.
Huge opening weekend for Eclipse like New Moon. Huge drops on the 2nd weekend onwards for Eclipse like New Moon.
Prince of Persia actually made money? A movie about a Persian Prince that looks like he is from Iowa? LOL. Nice Try Hollywood. I guess next you will make an Asian movie with white kids and Cleopatra with a white woman…oh wait!
Saw Toy Story 3 with my wife and daughter. I hate spending money for loud and ridiculous movies. Gotta admit, I shed a few tears at the end. Could not believe how much I laughed and cried. This is a movie I would see again. Thank you Pixar for restoring my faith in movies!
Knight and Day was really great and fun and funny. Go see it!
Well I think Knight and Day’s trailers looked awful so I’m not surprised. It was running only on star power, and let’s face it- both those actors can be a bit grating.
What’s funny is Grown Ups had a mildly decent trailer, and its star power was strangely more appealing than Cruise and Diaz. Neither movie is good, but neither movie is terrible either.
I’m just worried this doesn’t reinforce Hollywood’s fear that new movies don’t do as well as sequels and remakes. Please don’t stop trying!
Toy Story 3 deserves to be nominated for Best Movie this year. All the other movies this year are utter crap.
Both grown women and men will cry after watching this movie.
Anyone think that it is not Tom Cruise, but the actual story that draws people to the movies? Also, it might be just me, but doesn’t Tom Cruise just have the same facial expressions in every movie…except for Les Grossman.
Knight & Day was a really good summer flick. Sad to see that it didn’t do well. Second best movie of the summer so far in my book (TS3 being #1).
Tom Cruise is a great actor. None of us know anything about him, except what the press wants us to know. The reason I will not see Knight and Day is Cameron Diaz, who is not the least bit good, and who is not aging well.
The A Team made another 60 mil from worldwide receipts so it may yet break even on it’s 100 mil production budget. Clearly the marketing costs were badly spent for Knight/Day and A Team. The ads for both films were disjointed, loud, messy and weird and said little of the story. Ridiculous amounts were wasted on tanks for the A Team premiere and stunt driving lessons for the Knight/Day press.
The problem with “movie stars” today is that they expect to have movies that earn hundred of millions of dollars for the rest of their lives. At some point, there is a new breed who comes in and steals that spotlight. The difference is how you handle that change. Paul Newman is an actor who aged gracefully. He knew he could not be the young, handsome leading man forever. He was more concerned about the quality of his craft.
Saw TS3 again earlier with a couple of colleagues at work. We took a longer than usual lunch break to see it in IMAX before it has to give way for Eclipse. It was a fantastic film. All 5 of us (ages 32-45) loved it and felt for the characters. We were as giddy as the kids and teens in the theater. Me and my family will be definitely seeing it again over the 4th of July Holiday weekend when the grandparents are in town.
Movies are expensive nowadays, but I don’t mind the expense of seeing it 2x or more so long as the movie delivers and moves you in every way shape and form.
Even when Tom was starting out in movies like The Outsiders and Taps, he had a strange intensity that made me uncomfortable. But with the help of his publicist, they reined it in and channeled it in a positive direction. Back then Cruise was playing the role of a likeable movie star, the kind of man women wanted to marry and men wanted to be. His downhill slide started when he callously dumped Nicole Kidman, fired his publicist, wooed Katie Holmes in an over the top fashion, the Matt Lauer interview, bashing of Brooke Shields, and the frightening transformation of Katie from joyful ingenue to somber, rail thin zombie. People were shocked, but that was the REAL Tom Cruise. The problem was that people, especially women, don’t like the real Tom Cruise. Now he’s trying so hard to recover, but I don’t think he ever will.
I guess he can do okay with cameos and ensemble parts or playing villians and whack jobs.
I meant likable.
