Monsters v. Aliens

Watched Monsters v. Aliens tonight, and what a good film it was (as always with a Dreamworks epic).

Well worth the entrance fee, but in typical film fashion, the sadness in the film is vindicated by a happy one.

One for the family, indeed. :)

Come to think of it, haven't I see the gooey dude in Monsters Inc.?

Guns don't kill people...

A 12 year old boy from Arizona in the US shot and killed his mother this week.

I remember watching Michael Moore's Bowling for Columbine, where the NRA (National Rifle Association) said that Guns don't kill people, the people do.

I'm not so sure that is the case, especially in cases like these and more so in the one explored in the film of Michael Moore's - if I remember rightly a 6 year old killed a classmate with a gun. Crazy.

Still, the boy (if you read the article link above), has been deemed mentally capable to have the MO for the murder.

Ridiculous. At least Arizona is one the 49 US States that don't allow for the death penalty for minors (Georgia do - see "Why do people hate America" by Sardar and Davies)... so he will just be given a juvenile prison sentence.

Which is fair enough, hopefully though, he is rehabilitated rather than have his life destroyed by the courts.

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa

Not even TangoBurst and M&Ms could keep me awake during this film.

I never seem to stay awake during films in cinemas.

I can add this to my list of films I've fell asleep to while watching in cinema:

The Ramones (in Manchester)
Black Book (in Sarasota) - that was funny, thinking about it.

Yay
