		<description>I had a chance to see a sneak preview at our local cineplex and this movie once again sets the bar for CG animated feature films and establishes the geniuses at Pixar and particularly director Brad Bird as not just cutting edge technicians and animators but true artists! You&quot;ll see it time and time again in this movie, not in the big splashy scenes, but the small, subtle, almost invisible elements. 

For example - and this is not a spoiler - there is a brief part of a scene where the lead character escapes his human captor but thinks twice and returns. As the rat approaches from under a dark walkway, you see this dark scurrying shape with glowing beady eyes, who then enters the street light and reveals his big, sympathetic eyes and cartoonish features. At that moment, you&quot;re hooked and you don&quot;t even realize it! This movie is filled with that kind of  brilliant cinematic craftsmanship! 

If at all possible see this at a theater with the new DLP projection technology to get the best visual experience. There&quot;s no way film can do justice to the colors, textures and the movement of the characters. 

The thing that tops it off – the cherry on the top of the perfect chocolate parfait - if you had any doubts after viewing this movie, stay to the very end of the credits – sorry no blooper reel – where you read a clever notice stating that:
&lt;blockquote&gt;
“Our Quality Assurance Guarantee:
100% Genuine Animation!
No motion capture or any other
performance shortcuts were used in
the production of this film.”
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
This movie made my Top 10 – hell, Top 5 Movies of all time list the minute I read that!

If this movie isn&#039;t nominated for a &quot;Best Picture&quot; Academy Award - not just best animated film - then it&#039;s time to put the that institution to rest.</description>

		<description>You hit the nail right on the head. That little rat has been the talk of my house the last few weeks. Everywhere we go that poster is plastered up and the kids are going crazy waiting to see the movie. My weekend is being planned around $5 popcorn not some $500 phone that has no buttons.</description>

		<description>Hahaha....good one Eric!

One of the UK newspapers today gave a price quote of approximately 1500 pounds for the iPhone (about 3000 U.S. dollars!)

Yeah, still worth it...right?! ;)</description>

		<description>Nice one. Great start to a Friday morning.

Heard a very positive review of &lt;i&gt;Ratatouille&lt;/i&gt; on NPR earlier... the previews hadn&#039;t grabbed me but one should generally give Brad Bird the benefit of the doubt.

Ripped from tomorrow&#039;s headlines: &quot;&lt;i&gt;Ratatouille&lt;/i&gt; Filmgoer Bludgeons Fellow Patron For Playing With iPhone During Entire Film&quot;

Oh, and Eric, I just blogged a list of possible nerdcore band names and I bet you could add some doozies...</description>

The big day is finally here.  It&#8217;s a day for which so many of us have impatiently waited for so long, almost writhing in anguish as we were denied all but the smallest glimpses of the object of our desires.  It is a day that will demonstrate as never before the possibilities inherent when the relentless march of technological progress is matched with a singular vision and a dedicated team of world-class technoartists.  It is the day that is, in many ways, the culmination of all the magic and wonder that Steve Jobs has brought to the world over the past two decades.

That&#8217;s right: <cite><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0382932/" title="IMDB.com: Ratatouille (2007)">Ratatouille</a></cite> opens today.
