Beasts of the Southern Wild.

We saw this trailer a few times and I was hooked the first time. Unfortunately, I never managed to see it in the theater. This looks like one of those movies that would benefit from being seen on the big screen. No matter. I'll find it somewhere. It looks awesome.

Up in the Air.

George Clooney is easy to watch on the screen. Maybe in person, I don't know, I didn't have $50,000 to find out his quality as a host during the last campaign, but that's not important. This is a George Clooney vehicle, and if I can find it streaming or at the local RedBox, I'll risk a buck fifty and a couple bags of popcorn.

George Clooney was good in Up In The Air, but the movie wasn't so good. He played a kind of misguided, pathetic person. There was one scene in particular that bugged me because nobody would ever behave that way, but the writers did it on purpose to force the story line into a particular arc.

If you are big Clooney fan, it's worth watching for a buck or two if you don't have anything better to do.

Here's one that we saw a trailer for while waiting for Maleficent to start. Maleficent was enjoyable too, but this one looks very intriguing. Might wait for the small screen since it's only gonna be in Seattle on Halloween at one theater.

Art and Craft.

Jellyfish Eyes.

This is not strictly speaking an anime project, but it definitely has the same vibe. Pokemon meets Death Note (live action) meets Summer Wars... I dunno. I want to see it. It's not available in theaters anymore and I can't find a region 1 dvd/bluray. Patient, I'm not.

I think this line's mostly filler.

excellent film, excellent trailer, momentarily deceiving youtube trailer title. The "2" made me think, holy mackerel there's another Watchmen!?!?!?. My error. Still, I like what we've gotten.

I'm a big fan of Pixar's work. And this looks to be a major emotion picture. *giggle*.
