The Princess and the Frog
I really liked the music in this movie and the plot was better than many of the Disney "princess" movies, but the animation and styling left a bit to be desired. I can't put my finger on what was missing, but it did not keep my family's interest like most Disney movies.
· tv season from Netflix
riddlefish I thought the voice of that firefly was CRAZY entertaining, though! Maybe not entirely politically correct, but hey, it's Disney. ;D
beverlynoelle I know what you mean about the style. It was nice, but then you look at a non-Disney film like Anastasia and you see just how much Princess and the Frog was missing in the animation department!
amyuhrich @beverlynoelle Interesting...I enjoyed this on the whole, but I should re-watch Anastasia and see what you mean.
Al Jazeera English Live App
I really appreciate Al Jazeera's English News app. It allows me to obtain a different perspective on world events than what is presented by the news organizations in North America and Europe.
· app from iTunes
riddlefish That's interesting! What sorts of things have you noticed thanks to tracking Al Jazeera's news?
diffie The first thing that I noticed was that they do not immediately assume that every incident of violence is related to Muslim radicals. They allow time for investigations to take place and report from all sides. Another thing I noticed is that they report on stories that CNN, MSNBC, ABC and FOX do not - especially stories of human interest from the Middle East, Asia, and Africa.
Eye of the Killer
I guess I have seen too many Sutherland movies, because this one could not keep my interest. Sutherland's character, an alcoholic cop, is too much like others he has played - arrogant, aloof, and quirky.

gkruis I think of The Lost Boys.

Awesome.
The Caveman's Valentine
This was a touching movie about a gifted and mentally ill pianist who helps in solving a murder. Mr. Jackson's role is very different than any I have seen him play before or since, but his performance is quite convincing. The movie can get a bit heady because of the direction and the art related plot, but I enjoyed it.

girlfriday I actually saw this in the theatre! I was one of five or six people.
All-in-1 Logic GameBox App
It's not the best or most challenging of logic games but it has enough variety of games to keep me interested, so I would recommend it.
Lois & Clark
Silly and cute at times, but always fun. I am enjoying watching the series again.

productjoy loved dean cain as superman! who's your favorite superman out of all the movies/show?
gkruis I'm glad they're rebooting the film series!
Murder in the First
Slater and Bacon have never been on my "favorite actors list." However, in this film, I was captivated with how well they portrayed the depth and reality of their characters. It's a dark film, literally and figuratively with only a few moments of light, but that darkness helps to make this movie real and believable..
· movie from Netflix
girlfriday William H. Macy and Gary Oldman, however, are my list.
Tears of the Sun
I am not sure how to start with this film. It's difficult to describe the genre. I would call it a military, human interest, thriller. It delivers on all of those levels. What I think the movie does remarkably well is to show us the compassionate side of the soldiers while never making them appear disloyal or weak.
· movie from Netflix
Mandakinnnns i agree.
Star Trek
They've made Star Trek cool again :-)

lesayoh im pretty sure its always been cool. but yes, the movie was good
MizzBlaze agrees w/ @iamphilsharp. Lol
girlfriday It stole Star Trek from the land of the Geeks and make the land of the Geeks hip. Co-optation.
fnoo I think it was the Wrath of Khan that really brought the show out of the wood-paneled basement.
Chicago - The Very Best of Chicago - Only the Beginning
In my opinion, Chicago is one of the best groups ever, so, of course, I think this collection is awesome!

Various Artists - Chicago (Music from the Miramax Motion Picture)
Love the musical - and the movie. However, although I have enjoyed Gere in many roles, this is not one of my favorites. Too often, he seems like a teenager who is puffed up with getting a lead role in the high school play. Also, despite claims to the contrary, I believe his "Tap Dance" is performed by a double. Still, with stellar performances by the rest of the cast and great choreography and direction by Rob Marshall make this a "must see."

Star Walk App
It's simply the best star gazing, astronomy app available.
Schwab Mobile App
Although very impressed with the service I have received from Charles Schwab, I am less than impressed with their app. It is certainly not up to par with the best brokerage apps available. However, I still recommend it because, in this case, a mediocre app is better than no app.
Audible App
I have always liked Audible and this app makes it even easier to enjoy my favorite authors on the run.
Camera Genius App
Great camera app. Lots of options and functionality. Helps me take some very nice photos.
5-0 Radio Police Scanner Lite (Free) App
Pretty cool app! It allows me to know what's happening with our local emergency services.
· app from iTunes
The KARAOKE Channel Mobile (iPhone/iPod touch) App
As someone who loves to sing, it's easy to love this app. Lots of great songs to record and the ability to listen to others who also enjoy singing.
Doctor Who
Well done - sometimes better than the original!

fnoo Well, I don't know about that. Patrick Troughton takes some real doing to outdo.

Dog the Bounty Hunter
Dog and his family are the best. The combination of toughness and compassion for the fugitives whom they are attempting to take into custody makes a very entertaining show.

Gypsy
Bette Midler is one of my favorites, and she played Rose to the hilt. However, the musical, "Gypsy," did not work for me as a movie. I think it plays much better on stage.
· tv season from Netflix
itsMEGAN I like the movie and the stage version. Bette Midler is amazing, however.
