Clash of the Titans: Horrible 3D conversion by Warner Bros. ruins what could have been a good movie. Not enough action with the mighty Kraken.
The Prince of Persia: Dull. It had potential.
Toy Story 3: Fantastic if a little dark. If you’ve seen the original then you’ll like it, but not really for kids in my opinion.
The Last Airbender: Not bad. The visual effects are cool. Definitely a kids movie. Completely predictable.
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice: Not entirely memorable, but still fun to see on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Expect the usual Disney recipe.

Yeah Oracle bought Sun and I don’t think any of Sun’s old property is going to survive the onslaught of poor management decisions. There goes OpenOffice, MySQL, and Java …

psyphen commented on the blog post Music
I’ve never been able to strike a decent conversation with anyone who’s into music due to my lack of knowledge on the subject – 80s, 90s, rock & roll, you name it – I have no clue who sings what or why a certain band is a big deal. I curiously watch people listen to [...]

”but not really for kids in my opinion” – I half-disagree here. It’s for kids, but people just raise their kids to be too sheltered. Granted, I grew up having to know things like how to identify Russian anti-personnel mines and suchlike due to the political situation here, so my childhood might not reflect that of kids in the US/Canada today, but still. Kids must learn about death and loss, and how to appreciate things.
”The Last Airbender: Not bad” – Going to have to see this one. Consensus among critics and fans of the Nik show alike seems to be that this is the worst excuse for a film adaptation they could have possibly hoped for. I’m hoping for a chuckle. Or at least the chance to see a train wreck – that of M. Night Shyamalan’s career.
Considering I enjoyed watching Watership Down when I was about five I’d say TS:3 is definitely for kids, heh.
In fact, TS3 succeeds as it was intended, as a ”family film”. And indeed can/should be enjoyed by anyone.
Yeah, I don’t think it’s exclusively for any audience. I read a whole lot more into Watership Down watching it as an adult and knowing the connotations and enjoyed it on a different level, but I still enjoyed watching the bunnies hop around when I was five. Sure, TS:3 has adult themes but kids will look at them as kids. If they’re too complex then they won’t understand and they’ll gloss over them. If they’re simple enough and the kids can relate to them then they’ll understand their place in the film.
