Prince Caspian: Better than the first. Not so soft and mushy (thank you, Disney) although it could do with a bit less of the pouty pre-teen rage.
Iron Man: Very pleasant surprise. Robert Downey Jr. performed role perfectly. Villain was a bit over-the-top but still very enjoyable. Already anxious for the sequel and possible tie-ins to other franchises (Avengers?)
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: Its Indy. Entertaining set piece for the fifties incorporating good ol' archaeology and an interesting blend of sci-fi. Impressed that Harrison Ford held up so well. Liked it enough to see this one twice.
Wall-E: Enjoyable but not one of Pixar's best. Not a huge fan of the 'green spin' but didn't find it too preachy. Amazing animation and couldn't help but love the interaction between the two main characters.
Still on the list...
The Dark Knight... seeing later today!!!

Wow - welcome back! How do you manage to see so many movies when you have kids? Me and Matt never go! We suck! Oh, maybe it's because we are at home watching your kids.
First off, you liked Indiana Jones? That movie made no sense. Why would you see that twice?
Second, I have again lost my faith in humanity, another person has displayed interest in Kung-Fu Panda!
Kung-fu Panda remains on the radar for two reasons: first, I have two young boys who generally keep me young at heart, and second, I'm a long-time fan of the series and found this new installment quite enjoyable. Don't get me wrong... there are certain touches that I think Lucas really needs to avoid in his projects. I had fun with the movie and that's the main reason we have films in the first place: to enjoy ourselves.
