It was all right.  But I&#8217;m even more flat about it than I was about A Bug&#8217;s Life, and I was pretty unenthused about that movie.  Let&#8217;s just say&#8230; when you spend most of the movie thinking &#8216;wow, that monster hair is wonderfully animated&#8217; there is a serious problem with the plot and ability of the movie to capture attention.  I doubt I&#8217;ll bother to pick it up when it comes out on DVD.<\/p>\n<p>The One: Overall, not bad. Much better than his last movie.  Even though the plot was ripped directly from Highlander, it had an interesting twist to it.  The main problem was too much shooting and not enough choreographed fighting action.  I guess since almost all the fights were Li vs Li they couldn&#8217;t do too many of them or it would have been prohibitively expensive.  I did not find this movie the giggle fest that E did; there were some cheesy moments and some &#8216;why did he do that?&#8217;, but overall it was pretty much as expected.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear:both; padding-bottom: 0.25em;\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As others have posted, saw two movies yesterday, Monsters Inc and The One.
