We saw Nanny McPhee this weekend. It was fantastic. I'm going to say that Nanny McPhee will be the best fun family movie of the year. It was funny and nice, a perfect mix for kids and adults -- just plain great. Emma Thompson did an amazing job as did the kids. 2π.

I also watched The Brothers Grimm from my Netflix.com queue this weekend. This is a fantasy with hooks into just about every Grimm fairytale that I can remember. I really enjoyed Matt Damon's role, though I didn't really expect to like it since I see him primarily as Jason Bourne. Some parts of the dialog were very hard to understand, and some sequences were a little disjointed, but if you just want to sit on the couch and enjoy a movie, this is a good pick. 1.5π.
