Barnyard. It's animation in the vein of Pixar etc. If you've got kids it perfect as it's one of the best of the cartoon features.

Re: Movies - what you seen and was it any good?
The curse of the golden flowers. It is directed by Zhang Yimou and he is one of the most favourite directors of mine. I've seen so many films by him and they are all very brilliant and thoughtful, if anyone happens to own the film called " Raise the Red Lantern", I would love to pay for a copy. I really want my husband to see this film.

Re: Movies - what you seen and was it any good?
Lost count of how many times I've seen Finding Nemo and every other Pixar studios animated film. The haven't made a bad one yet. Toy Story, A Bug's Life, The Incredibles, Cars, Monsters inc., Ratatouille.
Their new production for 2009 is called 'Up'.

Yeah, she reminded me of a French sous chef I had a rough and tumble with back in Australia many years ago.

Re: Movies - what you seen and was it any good?
Michael Clayton is pretty good. Corporate malfeasance, a wayward defence attorney, a fixer who can't fix no more...Brilliant...9/10
Knocked Up is also up there. Comedy about a young couple, girl on the up gets knocked up to no-hoper, the trials and tribulations of her pregnancy, their love, and his soft porn website. 8/10
-----
I finally saw Nemo + Ice Age 1 & 2 recently. More quality stuff from Pixar.

Re: Movies - what you seen and was it any good?
Yeah, I get that, but c'mon! You pays your money to see a film not an incomplete film. I blame LOTR and Kill Bill for starting of this half a film nonsense. Films in the past could lead on to each other OK. The probs with Golden Compass is that they makers didn't know if they would get the funding for the sequel until after the release.
Having said that, it was still quite enjoyable.

A petite Michelle from the Brittany region.
Small in stature but man she had a temper that could bend steel.
