Brave (again)

2012 Pixar movie

Rating: 14/20 (Dallas: 5/20; Rodrigo: 16/20; Osni: 16/20; Dutch: 12/20; Austin: 15/20; Lance: 20/20; Breanna: 20/20; Drake: 1/20; Ig'Enid: 17/20; Jonathon: 20/20; Kimberly: 17/20; Mary: 19/20; Jaidah: 13/20; Adrian: 15/20; Kuenton: 9/20; Justin: 16/20; Cierra: 20/20; Matthew: 10/20; Daniel: 19/20; Sarah: 7/20; Jakobe: 9/20; Rodolfo: 16/20; Bobby: 4/20; other Daniel: 15/20; Franklin: 3/20; Wesley: 12/20)

Plot: I already wrote about this one. It's about Carrot Top turning his mother into a bear.

The students in our school were rewarded with a movie right for reasons you don't care to read about, so I watched this again. I was pretty bored this second time, and that is not typical with Pixar offerings. I really don't have anything else to write about this movie except I do know where the Pizza Planet truck is now. (Hint: It's made out of wood.) I still didn't hear Ratzenberger. The biggest laugh from my 8th graders was during the scenes that featured naked buttocks. 8th graders love the buttocks.

The Big Lebowski

1998 movie

Rating: 20/20

I don't remember what I wrote about this movie the last time I saw it (not on my birthday), but I probably don't have much to add. I would like to say that I just love that the movie ends with that Townes Van Zandt cover of the Rolling Stones' song. It reminds me that I need to find that Townes covers album. Dylan didn't make it through fifteen minutes, so I had to disown him.

Buster Keaton "Saturday": Steamboat Bill, Jr.

1928 silent comedy

Ratings:

Jen 18/20

Dylan 15/20

Emma 18/20

Abbey 20/20

I watched this recently and have nothing new to add. With Dylan's unusually high rating, however, Steamboat Bill, Jr. gets the highest average rating of any Buster Keaton movie we've seen so far.

Raiders of the Lost Ark (Again?)

For purposes of clarification. . .

If a guy is trying to watch 365 movies in one year and is falling further and further behind, does he get to count a movie that he already watched once this year but was forced to watch again yesterday as it was played at his school to reward the students for their uninspiring mediocrity during the first grading period of the school year?

I think I'm going to have to count it.
