In da House
After church this afternoon Phil and I went to see the new movie Monster House.
IN 3-D.
Best 3-D experience ever.
Above average movie. Some funny bits. Some scary bits. Some inappropriate bits that went over the boy's head. Touchy-feely ending. A Fred Willard/Catherine O'Hara pairing that's even better than the usual Eugene Levy/O'Hara match-up.
Not sure if it should have had a) a point or b) a clearer point, if in fact it had one, but it's probably better not to dwell on such things. Still, worth it if for nothing else than the excellent 3-D (which was never really exploited in a "House of Wax paddleball" kind of way) and the second pop-bottle bit in JD's bedroom.
If you have the choice between the 3-D and non- versions at your local multiplex, go extradimensional. It's worth the extra buck-fifty and you get to keep the polarized-lens specs.
