Children of Men - miserable and depressing and traumatising
Happy Feet - unexpectedly involving and funny, with added penguins
Cars - a bit weird (how do cars reproduce anyway?) but quite enjoyable
Rataouille - unexpectedly involving and funny, with added rats
Cloverfield - miserable and depressing and unsatisfying, with added monsters

Tennis - more big big weapons on display tonight. Roger won his match against Soderling, and lookin' suave. Mandy beat Sam Querrey, Jo Wili Tsonga beat Radek Stepanek. *manly fist pump*

I had to endure Children of Men not too long ago. I wanted to gouge my eyes out.

as for the tennis...

That film was so traumatising. Good, but horrible. The little ray of hope at the end was not quite enough for me, I think.

O tennis. What an up and down week it's been. I'm seriously disappointed, really.

tsonga was AWESOME in that third set.

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

He was awesome. It made me really like him, I was so impressed. And then he won! And was adorable and so happy. I was one big ball of 'awww' at that point.

I loved Ratatouille! Rats living in sewers and nesting in people's houses and eating garbage should not be that cute. But they were.

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

They were! I kind of liked Linguine as well, and the fact that the rats couldn't actually talk to humans. It made it seem more-- well, not real, because. But more effective somehow.

Ugh, Cloverfield. I have not even seen it, but I know what happened in it and I do not approooove.

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

I kind of liked a lot of it, but I just felt somehow let down by the monster. It got somehow more pedestrian when we got to see it, and its little baby alien monster babies. Hmmph!

Happy Feet was awesome. I was also unexpectedly involved and amused.

It was great! I had no idea what to expect and I was pleasantly surprised.

There's a certain Finnish children's song about two cars that decide they want to have a baby, so the call a hospital.
The doctor there assures them they do have babies a plenty, but that first one of them has to get fat. So, just to maker sure, both cars stuff their luggage space full of stuff.
Later they get another call asking to come get the baby, but when they arrive at the hospital...they see a motorcycle lying on a bed!
The doctor says: "Don't worry, just feed it what you eat yourselves and it'll get four wheels when it grows up."

I've just always found that song amusing especially since it reminds me of a Saiyuki crack fic I read once.

Hahaha. Jeep would so give birth to little motorbikes!

[stalkerbunny.livejournal.com]

Probably best not to speculate on who the doctor could be. >3>;

I fucking loved Happy Feet.

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

I know! Wasn't it awesome? Penguins, dancing and singing!

And Hugh Jackman doing his best Elvis!

Cars - saviour of my sanity! My toddler adores it. It's the only thing he adores besides Sean the Sheep, and STS eps only go for 8 minutes. I've tried all the usual suspects - Thomas the Tank Engine etc etc. But Cars it is. I rarely stick him in front of the television but sometimes he's ratty as, hitting the baby, whining constantly and I just have to pay a bill or cook dinner or... well, pee. He'll sit in front of Cars for an hour solid at times. I know that movie so well I can jump to scenes by number - you want to see Mater? Let me jump to scene 24. Sad, but true. The weird thing is, I've never actually watched it, so occasionally I look up and see things I've never seen before. And it is actually pretty funny, so it could have been worse.
