5. Those folks over at Pixar sure know how to make a good movie.
4. Their latest, "Toy Story 3," taps their original genre-changing computer-generated characters from 1995 to continue thier well-deserved box office dominace.
3. The third "Toy Story" installment surpasses the overly surupy second and nearly matches the first in rip-roaring good time, all-heart storytelling, but shares more in common with it's brother Pixar flick, "Up," which was also a story aging and revitalization in twilight years.
2. Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz (Tim Allen) and the rest of the gang face being donated to a child care center as their owner Andy prepares to go to college and the film lovingly addresses what becomes of the trappings of youth when a one who is no longer a child puts away childish things.
1. Despite a glum theme, the flick is replete with the usual action, silliness and humor that makes "Toy Story" the greatest animated feature-length film trilogy in history.

I love movies. They are my favorite non-sexual thing to do. I own more than 200 on DVD, not including TV series. They are our cultural language. When you ask someone if they've seen a movie, you're not asking them if they've spent money to see moving pictures. You're asking them if they have the same experiences that you have had – if you speak the same language. As Roger Ebert says, "Never marry someone who doesn't like the same movies as you."

Well, it has been a very long time since I watched a good movie or show. Last month, I finished watching shows by Andy Yeatman on Netflix and therefore, I have been looking for more since then. It was nice coming across this post. This will be a good addition to my watch list.
