After a long gap, got plenty of rest over week & watched the following
a) Taken (3.75/5) I liked it for very clear script.
b) The Hidden Fortress: {2ed, 4.25/5} I love simply Akira Kurosawa movies.
c) Shoot Em Up (3/5) Simple popcorn movie if you like tons of shooting.
d) Miracle at St. Anna: 3/5 (for some reasons Spike Lee failed miserably. Starting was good but later, it is pure disappointment. May be this is one of the reason; this movie went ignored by moviegoers.)
Also during holidays I am planning to watch “True Grit”.
Mostly because of Coen brothers & I liked their latest “A Serious Man”

My take on Toy story 3
Directed by: Lee Unkrich
First time I took my both kids to theater. Over all of it is interesting experience. Little one was crying after first hour or so. Elder one very emotional. (We watch many movies ,weekly once, at home but for some reason, may be first time theater experience.) At the end, we decided to watch more movies often, in particular forthcoming Kung Fu Panda 2/ Cars 2.
Now coming to my take, Toy Story 3 is a simply brilliant adventure where Andy is about to go to college & he was asked to rather donate/trash all his old toys. However Andi packs his toys up in a trash bag and tries to put them in the attic. In between, Andy helps his sister to get her toys in the car & in between his mom comes tohis room and thinks the bag of toys Andy left on the floor was trash so she puts it on the curb. This is perfect setup rest of the adventure i.e. all today’s goes to a day care center, where toys meet some evil characters bear etc then woody and the gang escape from the day care center & finally they end up a new owner. Opening train robbery sequences it simply amazing. I have seen of part1 & part 2 but this one is too good & I suspect more costly one also. may be all because of technology. Whatever it is a must. Also I asked my kids to write a summary. I will post their verion too. Basically my goal is to understand their ability to digest the movie.
