Oh man, I have been so remiss. Okay. Let's.
Love Bug is a stupid 60s movie, with the dad from Mary Poppins as the villain, and the cop from That Darn Cat as the protagonist. It's silly, and I didn't regret watching it.
Zazie is an amusingly non-serious movie, with flights of fancy erupting from every juncture, and a just-barely-not-grating precocious kid as a protagonist. If this had been an american film with twelve-year-old Audrey Hepburn or something, it would probably be on everyone's DVD shelf.
Tron is Tron. It was good to see it again. It holds up well, of course; the effects don't quit, and you'd never know that the actress playing the female lead had no clue what she was talking about. Also, we think that Dillinger went to Yale with the Old Man from Robocop.
District 9 I thought was quite, quite good. I won't spoil here, but the choice of locale, as an element of the first half's harsh, biting satire was very nicely done. I have a few questions about the scifi logistics, but it is, as they say, all good. I will consider it even if I can buy an 18-inch action figure of a certain mech.
