We got the family several DVDs for Christmas. Cars: It's growing on me more since I saw it at the theater. Overall, it's not bad, and it's kinda cool looking for all the car references in the background art. Monster House: An OK movie, but not worth repeated viewings IMHO. The house is truly creepy-...

I agree with you there wholeheatedly. "Batman Begins" was a fresh take on the Dark Knight's origins. "Casino Royale" returned to the original Ian Fleming novel and made James Bond a much darker character. These movies weren't just cookie-cutter remakes with new and improved CGI e...

Television

I heard just this past week that the American cable network American Movie Classics is planning to update the classic British TV series "The Prisoner." It won't be exactly like the Patrick McGoohan show, however, in that the people who find themselves in The Village have no recollection of...

Saw Casino Royale a few weeks ago. Must say it was pretty good. The Bond franchise had become a parody of itself in recent years, and a reimagining of the series was needed.

What a delightful Christmas present from TDI -- the return of the TD forum and with a brand new look, too. I can't wait to give the site a good going over and to read everyone's posts. Hope everyone had a splendid Christmas. I feel like a kid who's discovered a final present hidden under the tree.
