Ratatouille

i-59d6ded3dd663ca06035b26fc4109ce1-ratz.jpgSaw Ratatouille today. Never once checked the time. Very good film. So far Yahoo Movie critics & users give it an A-, and it seems like it'll win the box office. Much recommended (Pixar animation is the bomb obviously, but the story is really good and could only be told in a non-live action context for obvious reasons). This is a movie whose target audience are children and foodies, so definitely a strange and surprising beast. A flavor you won't forget.

The lines are so long, I'll have to wait a couple of days.

I stupidly gave my kids a choice of what movie they wanted to watch this weekend, and they chose Fantastic Four over this. Obviously they don't read the reviews. :)

Tara,

The redneck seep is so insidious. Fight it now, while you still can.

"It's uncomfortable to watch rats; even animated ones, scurry around a kitchen"

That strikes me as missing the point, Alvin, since that uncomfortableness is precisely the problem the rat needs to overcome. I think it's a mark of a good production that the character must overcome the audience's own prejudices, as well as the antagonists' prejudices.

yep. and this is a "kids film," nor does the preachy element irritate or suffocate the film. this is good art. all the flavors are in balance and there isn't an aftertaste.

Saw the trailer, my jewdar went off the wall on seeing and hearing the main character. a good device, or no?

Note - I'm a Kingsley Amis anti-semite, as in I notice 'them', but wouldn't want anyone to do anything about it.

Oy. Are you trying to get yourself quoted in the ads?

Please don't say "worth the price of admission" or I'll lose all my resepct for you.
