I just saw Ratatouille yesterday night. It was as good as I expected it to be. Surprisingly, there weren't many people in the theater for Ratatouille though. The movie itself was a fun ride, and also could invoke some interesting thoughts. I'd say, this is another hit for Pixar and its new owner Disney. Definitely a movie I'd buy on DVD when it does come out.

There were places where the movie definitely pointed to Brad Bird (from what I've seen of The Incredibles. I still got to see Iron Giant though.) And I'd say that is a good thing.

The animation and the art, as always, is spectacular. There was a point in the movie where my friend asked me if that animation was done over a real photograph or not. The attention to detail was that good. Also, the animation on the hair, cloth, etc. is great. But, there is still one thing that is a little disappointing in the animation department. Seems like nobody can animate water to make it look real. I remember a shot over the kitchen sink that made the water look very plastic and not watery enough.

Overall, this movie was a positive experience, heck, almost on par with The Incredibles, and I think it's a must-see in my book.

I finally began to try and build the Facebook app I wanted to do during summer math. Well, it's moving along fine. Still learning PHP and MySQL along the way. As I get a little more progress, I'll perhaps write more about it.

Oh, also, I find the Macintosh platform the best to do such things on. Panic's Transmit (FTP) + SubEthaEdit == heaven. I really want to get a new Mac now. The iBook is doing fine, but I wouldn't mind a little more.
