A movie that really fits the word "magical" without coming across as smarmy or cliched.

Captain America!  Yeah, I know, comic-based movies should be beneath me as a 57 year-old man, but I guess I'm still a big kid at heart.  Besides, I'm a gadget freak and love all the special effects.

Hey, you're never too old for that kind of thing.  I haven't seen Captain America yet, but it certainly looks cool!

Ann Margaret is annoying. 

How so? I didn't find her any more or less annoying than any other actress.

"...Ann-Margret's ability to be 25 and act 14" - Peggy Olsen

Wow that clip is surely annoying, though I'm not sure whom to blame.

The Help

Was it good?  I have the book, but haven't seen the movie.  (Yet anyway.)

I hated it.

The book was better, but also still not that good.

What did I hate the most?  I think I hated the fact that there was the perfectly good loving enlightened white girl and the totally evil racist white girl, conveniently allowing all white people watching the movie to identify with and embrace the good one and hate the bad one ...

... defeating the whole purpose of an actual "social" story (the kind of story this is supposed to be) that exposes the truth of how things were in the South at that time and forced us to confront our past and so on.

Also it was shallow ... the "good" character is inexplicably untouched by any racist ideas whatsoever, and the "bad" one is not only a vicious racist but silly and mean in every other way.  That's a cartoonish view of evil in a story that purports to actually explore a the story of a whole group of people (black domestics in the 1960s American South).

I finally watched your precious Ghostbusters. Not being a pre-adolescent male, I was unimpressed.
