Cloud Atlas

Between Tom Hanks trying to act to the degree that shoppers at the Target next door could feel it in their molars, and the neo-blackface makeup attempts, this movie is a lot to try to take in.

By the time the guy from The Matrix--the one who is not either Lawrence Fishburne or Keanu--showed up trying to play an Asian dude, we bailed.

The Princess and the Frog

It's been yeeeaaars, but finally Disney's made another traditionally-animated film, & I'm glad they're back.

Lots of laughs, lots of fun-- my only complaint is the use of Randy Newman for the music (almost always the worst part of a Pixar film).
