Very much like a book that you can't put down, I found myself zipping through each of the four episodes of Cooked and didn't want them to end. This series is a feast for the eyes and I learned a great deal about the impact of food preparation on humanity. It is humbling and a reminder to do what we can to slow down a bit and realize where our food is coming from.

The stunning visuals paired beautifully with the wonderful characters and magical storyline. I viewed it for the first time last night and it was worth the wait.

As a parent of two girls, I have been watching many of these shows and this is probably the best of the live action tween shows. There were some really funny moments in this one, specifically the battle scene with the dad and his boys where the eldest son yells, "Do it for dad!" after he gets shot by a paintball. Goofy fun. If more of these shows had that tongue-in-cheek attitude, I would be much happier.

How can I not give credit where credit is due. The animation is solid, the characters are fun and there are some really nice lessons embedded in the story lines. That and Pinkie Pie is a force of nature. I like that.

I wanted so much more from this movie. I know it's a downer, but I really wanted it to be not a "rip out your heart and spit on it" kind of downer. I hate suburbia so very much and thought it was going to help me justify that hatred.

I know. I know. It was a "different time," but I just can't with the Mickey Rooney character. That being said, I just love the story and I'm honestly embarrassed that it has taken this long to see this all the way through. A must see!

Finally took a minute to see Chef over the weekend and it lived up to the buzz. I loved the characters and the interaction between Carl and his son. Seemed very "real." Highly recommend Chef.

Just drove through in 1998 - I'm thinking that if I were to visit for a week, I might never leave!

I have to say the performances, especially Leonardo DiCaprio's, were really solid. However, this is just so counter to my sensibilities that I felt like I was watching a horror film. Stunning cast and edgy writing - interesting shot choices. All in all, I understand why it is popular, it was too much. Reminded me a bit of my ad sales days.

It is like no other movie I've ever seen. Beautiful filming to match outstanding performances, especially from Sandra Bullock.
