SHREK II
Last night's DVD.
Yeah, I know. It's a kids movie.
But consider: the animation is awesome, the theme is mature, the writing is better than most adult fare, the good guys win after enduring diversity without compromising their values, there is no foul language or extra-marital sex, and the violence is a comedy.
Kids movies prove that Hollywood still does know what a good guy is supposed to look like and what kind of values should be lauded. Why can't they do that for the adults too?
Personally I think kids movies are so successful because the adults love them, so they happily gather up the kiddies for an excuse and go see the movie.
(There were no kids in attendance in our livingroom last night. Shhhhhh.)
