Okay. So this has been bugging me for a while now, and I decided to just let it out.
What happened to kids' movies??
I just came back from the movies after watching Horton Hears a Who. Jim Carrey and Steve Carell - possibly the two funniest guys in Hollywood - play the two main characters. So it should be hilarious, right? Not so. It was actually painfully unfunny. I didn't hear the adults laugh at all, and the kids only laughed when the Mayor of Whoville got stapled in the forehead (which, by the way, is a great thing to teach kids. Throw staplers and other office equipment at people. Your friends will love you for it).
There are so many awful children's movies out now. Bee Movie, Surf's Up, Hoodwinked, Bratz, the Golden Compass... need I go on? What is with this degeneration of family movies? Sure, there have been a few exceptions - Finding Nemo for one, and Enchanted was pretty good - but for the most part, there hasn't been a single decent movie made since Hercules in 1997. And that was over 10 years ago. Why, I ask? Is it because everything's been done?
