synopsis/overview: On a Christmas evening, Mary's ( Elle Fanning ) new toy, a nutcracker, comes alive. The nutcracker, who calls himself, NC ( Charlie Rowe ), takes Mary on a fantastic journey to his kingdom. A kingdom that is now ruled by the Evil Rat King ( John Turturro ). When NC is abducted by the rat king, Mary bands her other new-found friends together to save NC and to help restore order to the kingdom.

noteworthy scenes: 1.) Rats; 2.) Doll house; 3.) Bedroom; 4.) Napoleon; 5.) Christmas tree; 6.) Dancing snowflakes; 7.) Broken spell; 8.) Batrats; 9.) Invasion; 10.) Dark cloud; 11.) Walnut; 12.) Mother rat; 13.) Welcome to paradise; 14.) Dograts; 15.) "Reality is mainly an illusion"; 16.) Pebble; 17.) Trap; 18.) Breaking point; 19.) "Anything for a boy who breaks toys"; 20.) Mirror; 21.) Piled-up toys; 22.) "No one should break another kid's toys"; 23.) Distraction; 24.) "It has to be you"; 25.) "I'm hoping you're saving the last dance for me"; 26.) "I can fly anything"; 27.) Helicopter; 28.) "Don't blame me for breaking this one, it's not my fault"; 29.) Celebration; 30.) Dream; 31.) "My new neighbor"; and 32.) Ice skating.

favorite scene: The Christmas Tree ornaments at the beginning of the movie.

audience reaction: None. Nobody else was in the auditorium with me.

recommendation: Go see the ballet version, instead!

spoiler alert! Who wrote the movie script, who produced this and who made it into a "movie" ...? They all should be replaced by Cine-Man! How on Earth did this classic turn into a Nazi-themed abomination? And why are Sigmund Freud and Albert Einstein thrown in the mix for? Despite its holiday accoutrements, this does not make for a Christmas movie! In that kingdom, the toys would have been in limited supply so that the furnaces would have been without fuel soon enough. I though that the nutcracker was missing a leg. Where did Mary find the other leg and, more importantly, how was she able to reattach it? And wouldn't that leg have been mangled quite badly, knowing what we know about a dograt's ability to chew through wood?

fyi: For the better part of anti-Semitic history, the Jews were derogatorily referred to as rats. And this movie's portrayal of the "Nazis" as rats is in no way amusing nor does it serve to ameliorate the historical fact. The metaphorical depiction of Jews as throw-away dolls dehumanizes and devalues the victims of the Holocaust.

I can't believe that I forced myself to drive all the way to Emeryville ( the closest place that's showing this movie ) just to see this. What a waste of time and money.

word of advice: "It's all relative."

tidbits: On my commute home, traffic slowed down at 9:58 p.m. by the Highway 4 exit because the right lane was closed by Cal-Trans for some road work.

I stopped-off at Baldo's Restaurant on Redwood for some dinner. For such a small restaurant, it sure was winter-cold in there. I ordered the # 7, Tw0 Burrito Dinner, and a small cup of Pineapple flavored drink. I ate at the place. I could only eat one burrito and had to take home the other one.

And for some strange reason, the hot sauce was really Hot this time around. I asked the clerk if the hot sauce was Jalapeno or Habanero. He said that it was something else. I don't know which kind of pepper it was, but it was just too hot for me. Oh, boy. I'm going feel it coming out of me tomorrow when I use the bathroom--and I'm not looking forward to it!

audience reaction: The audience was mildly entertained by this movie.

recommendation: I didn't like it that much. You may or may not like this, depending on what kind of Action movies you're into.

spoiler alert! After shots were fired, that dumb-ass girl still walked into the line of fire. In the men's room fight, the other guy got stabbed more that once in the chest with the ice pick; he should then have had a hard time talking because his lungs got punctured. Driver found a convenient parking space in front of the emergency entrance at the hospital. What are the chances of that being the case in real life? When Driver left the hospital, the other assassin was on a rooftop observing him. How did the other assassin manage to pack his things, walk down the building, get into his car in all that commotion, and still manage to catch-up with Driver's speeding-off car? If I were his mom, I would have said, "Boy! ain't you got no manners? Don't you be pointin' that f--kin' gun at me!" Then, I'd grab his gun, lay him across my lap and spank his butt for being such a bad boy. After he left his mom's house, he pulled over by the side of the road where a cross could be plainly seen a few yards away. But when he pulled back into the road, the cross was nowhere to be seen ( Maybe, he ran over it? ). The bad guy knew from an earlier scene that Driver had a metal plate in the back of his head, but he still shot him in the same spot anyway--Duh! How can the other killer possibly retire when he charges such a rock-bottom fee for his service? A line would form from his front door and all around the block of people eager and/or desperate enough to hire him for a hit on someone! When the bad guy was shot, his cellphone was still on, yet the voice on the other side could no longer be heard. When he killed the bad guys, he did the cops a favor ( who would then deal with his case more "favorably" ); but when he killed the last target, he just "threw the book" at his own self! Of course, there are those who would argue that the last bad guy deserved to die; but, then again, Cicero ( Carla Gugino ) was getting close to solving the mystery ( So, I, Cine-Man, would have had the last bad guy killed-off in a different way ).

fyi: The setting for this movie is Bakersfield, CA, where I'd been to a few weeks ago. But I didn't recognize any location. The setting must have been in the old, bad part of town, wherever that might be.

An early scene shows a close-up shot of Dwayne's left chest to show that--Yup--he took care of his gynecomastia ( bitch's tits ) problem.

The first time that I heard the term, "Gentlemen's Club," was over seven years ago from a fellow co-worker. I didn't know that it meant a "Strip Club" or "Strip Joint" or "Nudie Bar."

word of advice: Let your hobby be your work.

tidbits: After the movie, I went to the Admiral Callahan Lane Safeway to get a refill on my prescription. Then, I went to Empire Chinese Buffet for dinner.

An Instance of a Clueless Foreigner ( ya gotta love 'em! );-D

As the Hispanic family ( father, mother and adult son ) seated at the dining table next to mine got up to leave the buffet restaurant, I noticed the son's T-shirt. There, on his chest, in big, bold print are the words, "Hung like a horse"---Hah! I didn't even see an obvious bulge--heck, no one did. So, either he was falsely advertising or the cold weather brought on the dreaded emasculating condition called "Turtleneck Penis". But, since he was a foreigner, I'm willing to bet that he was clueless about what it meant. And as one bumper sticker would say, "Smarter than a horse and hung like Einstein." Ha, ha, ha.

Group hug; 40.) Party; 41.) Frying pans; and 42.) "They lived happily ever after."

favorite scenes: I liked how when the little girls braided her hair and put flowers in it.

And I liked the one where they were in that boat and all the floating lanterns were in the sky and were also reflected on the surface of the lake.

audience reaction: The audience truly enjoyed this and gave it a big "Hands Clapper" ending!

recommendation: I enjoyed this retelling, too. Go see it with your little brats.

spoiler alert! Since this is a children's movie, and an enjoyable one at that, I exempt it from my criticism. ( It does have quite a number of spoilers in it though, just to let you know. )

fyi: This movie, with its "nose" obsession, could have easily been written by me or some relative of mine from my father's side of the family. My father's side of the family has a distinctly Italian nose. And they are proud of their nose because it is what keeps them apart from the natives of Cotabato, Mindanao, Philippines. Funny thing is, my brother, sisters and I didn't inherit "The Nose." And every time our grandmother would come for a visit, she would line us up and pull hard on each of our noses while repeatedly saying, "Inat, ilong ( Stretch, nose )." But it was of no use since we were stubborn-nosed! Ha, ha, ha. I might have to have a nose job someday to make myself more presentable to my relatives. I sure would hate to be ostracized by said relatives simply because my nose doesn't measure up to family standards. The "Nose" knows, Toucan Sam would agree.

The flying lantern, the first hot-air balloon, was invented by the Chinese. It was originally used as a signaling balloon by military strategists. But it became popular with children at carnivals so that it was eventually added to their festivals. As such, it was given special significance so that releasing a flying lantern became symbolic of troubles and bad luck floating away.

Also, it is believed that some flying lanterns were mistakenly reported as UFOs.

CGI technology has improved considerably. I say this because the shoulders of the human characters in this animation movie moved more naturally. Unlike older--even more recent ( AVATAR included )--animation movies wherein the characters' shoulders were "boxy" and moved rather stiffly.

word of advice: Live your dream.

tidbits: I was gonna go to the first 3-D show at 11:20 a.m. But I got up late ( it was my day-off ). I tried to catch the 12:40 show. But I missed that one, too.

And since I had time to pick up my check and make a deposit at a bank, I went and did these first.

This is the first time that I've ever had buttery Pretzel Bites. They're quite good, actually. And I would have liked them even more if they weren't so salty. I would pick-off quite a number of salt chunks off of my pretzels before I would dip them in the cheese sauce which was the only way that I could enjoy them.

During the "Smoulder Scene", a kid behind me said, "What the hell ...?"

synopsis/overview: A husband, John Brennan ( Russell Crowe ), who believes that his wife, Lara ( Elizabeth Banks ), is innocent, resorts to a desperate act when her last court appeal is rejected: Breaking her out of prison.

favorite scene: I love the one with the ingenious use of a tennis ball. I've got to try it someday!

audience reaction: There were about half a dozen people in the auditorium with me. But I didn't hear a word from them ( they sat in the back ) once they got settled in.

recommendation: I didn't like how at the end this movie didn't show a satisfactory resolution. Although the acting was good, the ending could have been better. This is strictly a rental.

spoiler alert! The way that the cylindrical murder weapon ( i.e. the fire extinguisher ) was used would have shown, upon examination, that at the force of impact the fingerprints were jarred from their original positions, leaving tell-tale smudge streaks in place. So, when she picked up the fire extinguisher, her fingerprints which were clearly set in place--glaringly so if the murderer wore gloves ( I don't recall )--should not have been construed to be those of the murderer. I thought that for US passport photos you have to clearly show at least an ear. You would think that a medical lab van that has a remote key would also have an automatic alarm turned-on the moment that its doors are remotely locked--it's a vehicle transporting important medical records after all! Lara started out with bleached-blonde hair with half an inch of dark roots; three years later, her hair changed to reddish-brown with about two inches of dark roots. Why couldn't the movie's hair stylists ( Yep, there were three of them ) settle for just one color? Either make Lara be blonde-haired or auburn-haired--or how about just good ol' brunette-haired--because the dark roots were just too visually distracting to me! The street drug deal was too laughably obvious to be believable. While John was staking-out the drug dealer, he looked at his watch, only to show that it wasn't working since the second hand didn't move at all ( in an approximately three-second elapsed time interval ) the first time around! There were at least eight shots fired in that house--spaced far apart, mind you--but no neighbor, it seemed, called the cops in time. I would have shot the bad guy as he was kicking-out the basement door. John probably left his prints on the front door knob in his hasty exit. Even criminals know better than to use their own car while committing a crime! I thought that the Chevrolet Traverse has safety door locks--you know, the kind that won't let you open a door if the vehicle is traveling more than 8 mph ( Heck, even my 1994 base model, no air-bag, Geo Metro, by Chevrolet, came equipped with this safety feature as part of the standard package! ). Again, you cannot push a car door that isn't a "suicide door" wide open ( and, much less, hold it wide open ) if the vehicle is traveling at freeway speeds! And who held the door open for her while she was leaning out when her husband had his left hand on the steering wheel while his right hand had a firm grip on her? She should have been scissor-pinched by the passenger door! When they got back in the Traverse, he leaned over to lock the door when he could have done so easily from his side via the control panel conveniently built-in on the driver side's arm rest ( I googled it so I know that it's there )!

fyi: Within the last 24 hours, I did an experiment on the freeway. As I drove at 65 mph, I opened the driver's side door of my Hyundai Accent and tried to keep it wide open. I couldn't do it. But I did manage to freak-out the driver behind me, though! Ha, ha, ha--snort! ( I can be crazily funny at times! )

word of advice: Don't leave a trail behind.

Don't be predictable.

tidbits: I was gonna go to Edwards Fairfield Stadium 16 & I-Max to catch the last showing of the Harry Potter movie in I-Max. But, as it turned out, the last showing was for 10:15 p.m., not for 10:45 p.m. And I was scheduled for work until 10:00 p.m. There was just no way for me to travel approximately 20 miles to catch the 10:15 p.m. show. So, I just opted to see this Russell Crowe movie here in Vallejo, instead.

synopsis/overview: Harry Potter ( Daniel Radcliffe ) and his friends, Ron ( Rupert Grint ) and Hermione ( Emma Watson ) go on a quest to search out and destroy the remaining Horcruxes, the sources of Lord Voldemort's ( Ralph Fiennes ) powers, and soon learn that Voldemort, himself, is after the Three Deathly Hallows. For whoever is in possession of the Deathly Hallows will be an immortal.

favorite scene: The aerial chase.

audience reaction: The audience--mostly high school kids who will be very sleepy in class later on today--enjoyed this and gave it a "Hands Clapper" ending.

recommendation: I liked this movie, too. Go see this whether you're a Harry Potter fan in particular or a Sword & Sorcery fan in general.

spoiler alert! Okay, so Hermione was forced to erase the memories of her self from her own parents' minds to protect them from the Death Eaters--she could at least have made the picture frames with lone images of her disappear, too; otherwise, her parents are gonna think that they've gone completely loco displaying blank picture frames alongside their family portraits. And I hope that she completely erased memories of her self from other people's ( relatives, friends, classmates, neighbors, etc. ) minds, too, or someone might report her parents to the police about their missing daughter! Why were there not enough sentries posted at the wedding party when they knew what was at stake? There were pedestrians across from the side street when they took the female ministry worker inside the building, yet nobody noticed what was happening ...? I'm sure that that men's room is also available for use by muggles. So, their unusual use of the toilet stalls would have already raised suspicion among the muggles some time ago. It's good that they don't get flushed back up in the same spot; otherwise--I'll just let your own imagination fill-in the rest .... When Hermione yanked the locket from around Dolores Umbridge's ( Imelda Staunton ) neck, the chain broke. So, how was it fixed? Or, is the chain "indestructible", too, like the locket itself? Why didn't Harry use the wand to lift the sword? Because, as evidenced later, anyone can hold possession of the sword. And, remember, moving and/or holding the sword are quite different from actually using it. Neither Harry nor Ron--and especially Ron--were shivering from the cold when they got out of the frozen pond. ( What, are they super-extraordinary members of an ice swimming club such as the Polar Bear Club? ) Why would the Horcrux incite envy and jealous rage in Ron when it knew that he was out to destroy it? If I were the Horcrux, I would have convinced Ron that the sword was a fake, and that Voldemort had the real one! The first brother should have asked for invincibility; the second brother should have asked for the power to raise anyone, himself included, back from the dead; the third brother should have asked for physical immortality so that, together, all three of them would be immune to Death. But since the third brother asked for an Invisibility Cloak, how was he able to present himself to a woman to court her, marry her and have a son by her if he was constantly hiding from Death, itself, and knew that Death would find him the moment that he took off his cloak? Why didn't the Death Eaters fly after Harry and his friends instead of chasing them on foot since they travel faster by air? Why didn't Hermione just make Harry invisible, instead? It had been months since Dumbledore was killed, so why did his corpse still look fresh and flesh-tone in color?

fyi: This blog post officially marks my 200th entry! Hooray! Of course, if I'm to be technical about it, I already passed that mark many entries ago since I've seen a number of movies 2x, 3x, a few 4x and a couple of them 5x.

If a spirit asks you if you'd like to be physically immortal, asked to become a physically regenerative incorruptible immortal, instead. What's the difference? Lots! Someone who's physically immortal can still get old, sick, disease-ridden, senile, and can still lose limbs. But someone who's a physically regenerative incorruptible immortal doesn't have to worry about any of that!

word of advice: BFF are friends to the end.

tidbits: As I bought my ticket at the box office, an amply-endowed blonde in a tight, red halter top ran towards the entrance with her girl friend. One of the ladies standing in line behind me commented that "... those can't be real. They don't bounce right. Don't run!" ( Booby-envy. )

As I stood in the auditorium's hallway to finish watching the Ending Credits, three girls came back in because they lost a set of keys. They would have found the keys sooner had they asked one of the two janitors to help them find it since both janitors had headband lights on.

And as I made my way to the men's room before leaving for home, a high school-aged black couple posed for a picture with the Justine Bieber movie ( NEVER SAY NEVER ) poster cardboard cut-out. The guy did a rapper's hand gesture as he posed for the photo.
