Save your next kid flick opportunity for Cars (imdb 7.7/10.0). Did you enjoy Toy Story? or Monsters Inc? Ice Age? Pixar has made another good one. We watched it last night and we all laughed a lot.
The whole story takes place in car world – and is about a hotshot racecar, played by Owen Wilson’s voice. Other voices include Paul Newman and Michael Keaton.
When Chad’s not here, Bella and I have been working through the Austen movies. First we watched Emma which Bella still maintains is her favorite (has the cutest guy). Then Sense and Sensibility (I really like Emma Thompson, but it’s so strange to have her play opposite Hugh Grant. And Bella didn’t really go for Kate Winslett ending up with Snape), and my favorite, Mansfield Park. Had never seen that one before. Excellent acting from the female lead. The storylines are so unabashedly Danielle Steele: beautiful women in love, good-for-nothing rakes, unrequited love, hardship, and good doses of gossip and interference.
Looking forward to entering the Pride and Prejudices – there are so many versions. After the most recent one with Kiera Knightley, we’ll move into the six-hour version with Colin Firth. That version gets an amazing 9.4/10.0 on imdb. I’ve never seen another score so high.
