Madagascar 3

I never saw the second one but I enjoyed this a lot more than the first one.

Dubois must be like Natasha's secret French half-sister...

I know I shouldn't have been expecting her but I still really, really, REALLY wanted Marlene to show up at some point because Marlene is AWESOME.

Also, we passed Avengers on the way out. We could hear Hulk grunting and my mom goes, "puny god."

I wouldn't call it a "romcom". It feels like it does disservice to Woody Allen. The Term "romcom" is associated with things like Runaway Bride, Serendipity, and Did You Hear about the Morgans?
Truly awful films that NO ONE should watch whereas Woody Allen is art.

Also, there really isn't even that much romance in it or comedy. There is humor, but it's not like a Judd Apatow film or something.

I'm also saddened by "torturous" and "War Horse" in the same sentence...

Ah I see. Everyone has it listed as rom com, so I assumed it was. I don't consider all rom coms to be completely awful movies, though. I lump anything with relationships and humor into the category, even a few good movies.

Also, I honestly don't think I've watched a single Woody Allen movie before (or didn't know it if I did). I'm not much of a movie person. I see about one movie per year in the theater, although I might see that same movie multiple times if I like it (re: Avengers, Star Trek, Harry Potter). As far as seeing stuff on DVD, I've really got a very narrow range of interest and am likely to pass over anything not in that range unless the decision to watch it is not mine.

I'm more likely to watch a documentary from the Science Channel or something.

War Horse...not the worse movie I've watched by any means but I was bored to tears by it, tbh. The first 43 minutes were so unbelievably slow and the entire soundtrack overly dramatic and distracting. I wish they'd toned it down a bit. The pacing was slow in general and the story didn't grab me until the end. The acting was great though, on all counts. It's not the acting that's the problem. The story was just boring to me and many of the characters were killed off so quickly that I had no time to get invested in any of them or even remember their names.

Then again, I don't care for period dramas or war movies so this could be where the problem lies. lol It's not my genre and I'm not the movie's target audience. I knew that going on but watched it anyway, just as I will watch these other movies on my list know full well that I probably won't like them.
