The End of an Era

I wasn't planning to cry when I saw Toy Story 3 but at the end I'm afraid I did. But I daresay I wasn't the only mom in the audience who did. I just sent my oldest son off to college this last year and so I found myself the mom in the movie and Andy like my son. It was poignant and touching at the beginning and end and I would agree with the other reviewer that young parents need to enjoy their little ones more because soon they will leave. In between the story about Andy leaving for college and all that brings up was a delightful, funny and clever story. The Spanish Buzz Lightyear was a highlight as was the Ken doll asserting that he was not a "girl's toy." The evil baby doll was something that was scary - even to some older kids...and I'm sure young children would have nightmares over it. Mr. Potato Head having to use a tortilla for his body/face was also very funny. This was a fitting end to the series...WELL DONE!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Best character study of any Harry Potter

This movie was the first Harry Potter film to show characters in a more three dimensional light. All the main characters are portrayed with sense that they might not be sure of themselves whether it be in the good v evil story line or the love plot lines. I could have done without the diner scene in the underground - it wasn't in the books and made Harry look a bit like a womanizer...I would've preferred to see Dumbledore at Privet Drive as the books showed. Missed the battle at Hogwarts and Dumbledore's funeral too but otherwise I was satisfied. Broadbent was brilliant as Slughorn and the actress who played Lavender Brown was perfectly annoying.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Night at the Museum

First one was better...had more heart. Hank Azaria was the show stealer...but alot of the audience didn't get his humor...I was laughing out loud at him many times by myself.
This one seemed to drag a bit and the humor was annoying (scene with Ben Stiller and "Brundon").
I loved the ending when the museum was open at night.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
