I just watched this yesterday with my two older daughters.
We left the theater singing.
Two big thumbs up.

Watched The Last Boyscout tonight. I think I forgot how many times I've watched that movie years ago because I remembered basically the whole thing. Still a really solid detective yarn, just with a ton of swearing and violence.

Just watched the last Terminator movie...Terminator Salvation I think, anyway liked it
much better then when I had seen it in the Theatres when it was released.
It allways amazes me how many things a person misses the first time you see a movie.
Gotta watch em all at least twice, unless they are really bad.
I watched the Caine Mutiny last night, with Bogart playing a seriously paranoid captain, who is relieved of duty during a typhoon, which leads to a court-martial trial. It's an interesting movie, but you could see at the end where they added a little something to make Bogart's character not look so bad. The movie's set in WW2, and came out right after, so I guess they were worried about making a naval officer look completely unsuited for command. The problem is, the explanation for how all the officers are complicit in what happened with Captain Queeg doesn't hold up based on how he behaved throughout the film up to that point. According to my dad, the book didn't have that part, so I probably ought to read it at some point.
I finished watching The Sand Pebbles, which won Steve McQueen an Oscar. I can't really see it myself. He does a good job, but his character doesn't seem all that different from any other character I've seen him play. Disrespectful to authority, defiant, kind of cold, but a good guy when push comes to shove. It's still a very good (and very long) movie set in China in 1926, dealing with the hostilities that come when the U.S. and various European countries are basically running China, much to the displeasure of some of the locals. It did a much better job incorporating a romantic subplot that "Bullit" did, that's for sure.
