Come On, Parents
PostedMarch 25, 2012
Hey, all you parents and grandparents. Don't just send your teens so see this. See it yourself. It is a phenomenal movie and you do not need to have read the book first. Trust my wife and myself, both in our 60's. This is inspired movie making.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Wow
PostedNovember 27, 2011
This is a sensational movie, not necessarily for children but more for adults who will find fascination with a true homage to the beginnings of movie making. This is no kiddie fairy tale, but rather an exciting adventure for truly thoughtful older children and then the rest of us.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Good Comic Stuff
PostedJuly 24, 2011
Very enjoyable, with a lot to think about. More so than many others, this one was filmed in such a way that it really does look like a comic book that comes to life.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

District 9
PostedAugust 15, 2009
If you recall or are even slightly familiar with the classic space invader movies of the 50s and 60s, you must see this. Watch the classic idea of aliens as mindless invaders -- turned on its head. What a plot. What performances. What visual effects. You simply must see this. Yes, there are prolonged gun battles and prolonged chases, but the story rides above all that. Keep the Kleenex handy for the last 15 minutes. And try to get the image of the cityscape that is shown over and over out of your mind.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Go See This Now

You will see a movie with two incredible performances. How will they sort it out if they both win Oscar nominations? Great action.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Adults, Go, Go, Go, UP, UP, UP
PostedMay 30, 2009
We were first nighters. My wife and I were probably the only adults there without kids. This is a movie for everyone, so adults -- shed that tired old thing about not wanting to see "a kid's movie." This is spectacular film making. You will laugh, you will cry, and you will leave the theatre talking about the characters as you would talk about roles played by live actors. Pixar has set a new standard, and seeing this movie, "Coraline" and "Monsters vs. Aliens" all in a span of about three months has been the most delightful experience. Remember, adults, "UP" is for YOU.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Colraline
PostedFebruary 8, 2009
We can only hope that adults understand this is for them, and that they not avoid it as a "kiddie move." This is one of the most special movies to be created in decades. We were mesmerized.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Senior Citizen says Yes
PostedMay 4, 2008
I am 60 and my wife 59. We sat there last night, loving every minute of this movie, and actually wondering if the 10 and 11 year old boys (virtually no girls in the theater) would really understand the complexities and the delights of the plot, the extraordinary performances, etc., etc. Sure, there were the fight scenes but there is so much more here. Now, how we will we get our rather stodgy friends to go? May my wife and I never age in such a way that we no longer enjoy the delights of a multi-faceted masterpiece such as this.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
