    If you go to a non-matinee for an anticipated movie these days, you might as well be planning for Chuck E. Cheese.

    I would simply and boldly ask for my refund, if it is way out of hand.

    The Debt = good
    Wrecked = I expected to like it was left flat.

    Yes, yes, yes. One of my favorites of 2011. No doubt.

    Took my kid to see Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked, yesterday. It actually wasn't as horrible as I thought it would be, at least, when they weren't singing. It wasn't good, but my kid liked it, which I liked, and I got to watch the great David Cross spend the movie dressed as a pelican, which made me laugh several times.

    Ugh. It lived down to my expectations. The whole time I was watching, I just felt sorry for Cross and Jason Lee. But I guess it did what it was supposed to do. It kept my 8-year-old and her friend entertained for an hour and a half.

    The best part was the two of them ranking their favorite scenes on the way home. Her friend would bring up something as her second-favorite and my daughter would say it was her fourth-favorite.

    Then they asked me my favorite part. "When it ended"

    Went to see Mission: Impossible in IMAX yesterday. I was more impressed with IMAX than I was the movie. It had the requisite action sequences, which mostly felt like they were recycling stuff from earlier in the series. That's not surprising, I guess, but I came away underwhelmed.

    "Brick."

    Pretty fun stab at modern noir. Not sure if setting a hard-boiled detective story in a contemporary high school is an interesting take on the genre or just a gimmick that covers up a formulaic, derivative plot. Sometimes it felt a little like a film school final exam. The director, Rian Johnson, has been on "Filmspotting" on NPR in the past and seems like a genuinely good, really down-to-earth guy who just loves film.

    It's worth watching, if nothing else than to see Joseph Gordon-Levitt in an early role.
