Sneak Reviews

Faith had her friend Alyssa over on Saturday, and we took them and Eric to see "Puss in Boots."  It was pretty lame, and that's coming from someone who still has some latent affection for Antonio Banderas' Zorro and thus is willing to cut the movie some slack.  It's astonishing to what extent Pixar has lapped the field in children's movies, even second-tier Pixar like "Cars 2" and "Monsters, Inc."  (I know critics loved it, but I include "Ratatouille" in the second-tier list, while putting "Cars" and "A Bug's Life" in the first-tier slot.  Go figure.)
