This one in particular sounds so interesting, full of history and so lovely looking. Too bad about the negative reception (but at least the pizza was good). :)Rickihttp://dietdessertndogs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-33077629335614011752012-02-24T11:00:28.807+11:002012-02-24T11:00:28.807+11:00I loved it :) I generally don't like 3D but it...I loved it :) I generally don't like 3D but it was one of the few films where I found it enjoyable - although as you say not essential. The story captivated me though and we also liked the cinema history angle.

Oh and I loved the train careering off the tracks just like tootle.

Mind you, I suppose I'm pretty ignorant about different cuts of meat, so perhaps it's just the same in reverse.

I would say it's a good starting point for 3D :)Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06350144954173714085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-62468061714587494452012-02-23T10:02:27.624+11:002012-02-23T10:02:27.624+11:00How frustrating is it when they're all "O...How frustrating is it when they're all "Ooooh.. we have great vegetarian options", then they're mouthy to you about it.
