Have kids? Got a little bro or sis? Ever have to baby site? Or ever just feel like a kid? (I said feel like, not act like.) If so, there's a bunch of great animated movies that even a bachelor can appreciate. Pixar continues to cough them up like a two-pack-a-day habit -- all the Toy Story movies, Monsters, Inc., The Incredibles, Finding Nemo, WALL-E, blah, blah, blah. Plus the Shrek films are hilarious and fun to watch as well. Even if you can't stand dirty, snot-nosed kids, you've surely seen most all of these juicy boogers.
But I bet you've never seen Monster House. You have to check it out. And make sure you totally set yourself up to appreciate it... surround sound if you've got it, lights off, big TV and your full attention. For a "kids movie" this one is pretty f*cking scary with an original story to boot. The animation in this film in particular looks amazing too -- seems like it's practically 3D if you're watching in Humboldt County.
As you can surmise, some kids are scared of the spooky house in their neighborhood, and it appears to even be alive. Voices of Steve Buscemi, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Fred Willard, Jason Lee, etc. Take a look at the trailer.
FilmBender is Funny Movie Reviews. So while this one isn't your typical guy movie, and there's a good chance that your buddies will call you a p*ssy for even renting it, party up with 'em and give it a try... maybe they'll like it... maybe they'll haze you for it, forever.
This was actually not half bad.
