This is insane. Corndog, you're letting me down left and right tonight.

I'm putting my foot down...no more peer pressure, just brutally honest opinions...Jim Rome style.

I'll conclude with my ranking of the Dreamworks 11...
1. Over The Hedge
2. Shrek 2
3. Kung Fu Panda
4. Shrek
5. Madagascar
6. Monsters vs. Aliens
7. Flushed Away
8. Antz
9. Shrek the Third
10. Shark Tale

Unseen: Bee Movie, Madasgacar: Escape 2 Africa

You've missed a few of the early Dreamworks, which I will include just for the sake of completeness:
Prince of Egypt (and it's lame companion, Joseph: King of Dreams)-- A kids version of The Ten Commandments; excellent source material and a couple good songs

The Road To El Dorado-- some really good humor, there

Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas-- a much better movie than most people give it credit for

I was just ranking their CGI films.

I somehow conned my Media/Society group members and teachers into doing a Vampire themed project. So it's the month of vampires for me.

Kicking it off is Night Watch.

Such a mind numbingly terrible film, there are zero redeeming factors to be found in Night Watch.

There are some exceptional technical achievements in Night Watch.

I don't see how the technical achievements matter when they don't add anything to the film.

Coraline (Henry Selick, 2009) -

The animation and look of the film is amazing, no doubt. However, I was quite bored with the story at times and that hurts. It is very bizarre, very strange, and very creepy. Too much so on all accounts for my liking. It wasn't bad, just not great. It was actually quite terrifying.

Rating: 2/4...#44 of 2009 so far

This review doesn't make it seem bad but you gave it 2/4. I loved this film and the book even more. What didn't you like about it?
