Contains Spoilers Throughout.

This exists to record my thoughts on movies, and occasionally other stuff. Too often my thoughts on something go unthunk for a while and eventually forgotten. I figure if I invested time in something in the first place, it's worth a few more minutes to make sure I remember it.

Arthur (2011)

I really enjoyed this. Russell Brand was very good, appropriately drunk, and it had the Batmobile AND the BTTF Delorean.  It was really quite funny too, and not overly corny.  Helen Mirren was great as Hobson, and Jennifer Garner, who I usually do not like, was pretty great as well.  The trailer didn’t really get into what her part was, just that she had at least one scene where she was dressed up in kinky leather and all, but she was actually a pretty good kind-of-villain.  Having recently seen the original I’d say this one was just as good.  Dudley Moore was probably better than Russell, but this was an excellent update.
