Little Fockers - I don't know why I went to see this ... I knew that it was just going to be a rehash of the previous Focker films ... and I was right ... How many times can you do that "two fingers" I'm watching you thing and think it's still funny. It was weak ... and there was a set up toward the end of the film that suggested another installment ... ahhh no more.

The Tourist - I really thought this would be more of an action movie and I was disappointed. Plus, Jolie gets nominated for a globe in a comedy role? Now I'm really confused ... if it was suppose to be a comedy ... it was way off the mark.

I saw most of the first one and knew it wasn't for me.

The whole play on words in the title should tell you up front that it's going to be pretty low brow.

Two hours of fart jokes isn't really what makes a good movie to me.

I think DeNiro is suffering from Marlon Brando Syndrome, in which otherwise brilliant actors can't stop taking terrible roles in awful movies.

On the other hand, I was extremely surprised at the True Grit remake. I went into the theater wanting not to like it, lest I betray my loyalty to the original, but it's a great film. Much more fathful to the short stories and book than the original.

I didn't even consider seeing Little Fockers, as I was sure that after seeing it I would never be able to take Robert De Niro seriously again. It would've ruined him for me.

And Rocky and Bullwinkle didn't???

To be honest, I used to love DeNiro but I'm getting a little tired of him at this point.

If he's just going to play the same character over and over, then he should stick to Martin Scorsese mob movies.

I really enjoyed Meet The Parents.

Meet the Fockers? Meh... pretty silly, but if there's nothing else on...

But when I heard there was a third movie comming out, I said "what are they calling it? 'Meet the Parents 3;Beating a dead Focker'?".

I loved Meet the Parents, and I hated Meet the Fockers. I knew from the trailer they'd continue in the same vein of humor for Little Fockers. Work at the theatre and saw clips of the movie - yep, same humor, not for me.

Wasn't really interested in the tourist.
