In addition to living somewhere, I watch a shitload of movies, read quite some books, and take in other kinds of entertainment on a regular basis. On this page, you will find the occasional review.

How To Train Your Dragon

I originally wasn't going to see this movie, but when I was downtown anyway, and I won free tickets....why not!

I watched the movie in 3D. This ads some flavor to it, but is, in my opinion, never enough to carry a movie. Alice in Wonderland, for example, was mediocre even in 3D.

The movie is made by Dream Works, who I have a lot of faith in. They're the makers of e.g. both Wall-E and Up, both of which made me shed a few tears when watching them. How to Train Your Dragon did not disappoint. It's less heart breaking than Up, but you might consider this a good thing, and there are plenty of things happening that makes you go "Why, Why, Why does this have to happen?", and a few surprisingly hardcore developments in the story that make you simply go "Whoah!". 

How To Train Your Dragon is a good movie, though if you take the youngest among us to see it, they might be slightly traumatized. The 98 minutes it lasted passed really quickly. No dull moments, and plenty of laughter, sadness and hope, and apparently shocks (as the chick next to me jumped in her seat more than once). Go see it! 3D not required, but does make it fun!
