Time management has not been my strong point in the last few weeks, so I've missed a few reviews.

So here is a micro review of the films I've not had time to review properly:

Lemony Snicket - Three orphans suffer some unfortunate events. The subtitles of the baby's conversation are priceless. It has been justly compared to the stylings of a Tim Burton film, without Tim Burton at the helm. It has quite a few weak points, but worth seeing.

Sponge Bob Square Pants - I didn't like it too much. I saw a derivative whisper of the genius of my favorite cartoon series - Ren and Stimpy - but this one just didn't hit my funny bone. I can't recommend it.

Ray - The story of the legendary blind musician and performer Ray Charles. Excellent. Go see it. You'll remember this film long after the others on this page.

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow - When robots (of any kind) were on the screen my attention was riveted. This film has a great look, but I found I had to make too many excuses for the lapses in the plot. Also, the "resurrection" of Laurence Olivier to play the villain was underwhelming. Sorry, no DVD sale this time.
