I just saw Water Horse with my six-year old daughter and her five-year old buddy. It was just a little slow at times for them during the first half, but I thought it was an excellent movie throughout. There was plenty of funny stuff early on and plenty of adventurous stuff later on. The effects were excellent but did not overpower the rustic setting in WWII Scotland. I think its primary audience would be boys under 12, but there is much for just about everyone else.

Great! I hope to take DS (almost 7) later this week. He's been excited to see it ever since we saw the first trailer. I'll be happy to see all the Scottish scenery. I think I'm the only person who has spent time in Scotland and not seen Loch Ness. *smacks head*

It was filmed in New Zealand - Weta workshops who did King Kong and the Lord of the Rings trilogy with Peter Jackson did it... Wink

I saw National Treasure last week and loved it - seeing the Deejarling Limited this weekend I think. And I watched Little Miss Sunshine on DVD today which is soooo my all time fav.

free happiness with every moment!

From the Wiki site it appears that it was filmed in Scotland, NZ, and at Miramar studios. Looks like WETA mostly did the animation/effects for Crusoe, the "Nessie" critter (typical WETA work, too...stunning). Phew, I know parts of NZ can be made to look like parts of the rest of the world, but I don't think Scotland can be faked so easily. *sniff* I want to go back to the Highlands. Best fish & chips ever in Aberdeen. Cry

Dustin/RacingThoughts-- I just got back from seeing The Orphanage. OMG, it was scary! Shocked

Go see it with someone brave and let me know what you think. It wasn't like American horror movies, that's for sure. Has anyone else seen it yet?

We have GSD next-door. Seneca is a small male...he was runt of the litter. Sam reminded me a lot of Seneca (only I think Sam was a tad bigger). Seneca is a big doof. He has NO clue that he is supposed to be a tough guard dog. He is afraid of my hubby. Very sweet, quiet, gentle dog.

Awe, give him a smooch for me. Can you tell I'm "in between dogs" right now?

Rambo is well...Rambo at his best! just saw it this past weekend, and I must say Stallone doesn't look 61.. I enjoyed Rocky Balboa a little better than this Rambo flik just because I'm a chick and I like the romantic side of things..but for all out action fun Rambo is a must see..lots of wartime gore so view with caution..and I don't recommend for kids.

I finally saw "Waitress." Gah, I feel emotionally drained. I don't usually care for chick flicks...this definitely is not a typical chick flick and I think would appeal to just about anyone...great story, acting...and now my crush on Nathan Fillion has grown tenfold! Black eye

I about never see movies in theatres. Wife and I are more of a NetFlix couple, so a lot of my suggestions will be of older movies. Last night we watched Color Me Kubrick with John Malkovich. Great fun.

My youngest wants to see that but my husband refuses to go, since he doesn't like Jack Black, I'm not sure why though. Confused

So, it looks like it'll be a night at the movies without daddy! Smile

It is a seriously fun movie. I didn't have high expectations and really enjoyed it a lot. Very sweet message and amazing animation.
