The Lego Movie (SPOILERS)

I did not expect this. The trailers of course couldn't give away the main twist, but when you know it, it's really quite good.

It's essentially a film about a kid playing with his toys.

On top of that, it's funny, it's not too preachy with its messages, and has some really unexpected appearances.

I just hope this doesn't mean there's a Terminator reboot in the near future.

Lost in America (1985)

and 

The Jerk (1979)

All I can say is that these both might have benefited from decidedly darker endings (i.e. the wife permanently leaving in Lost in America and ending The Jerk with Navan actually becoming a bum and not being rescued)

Lost in America was far superior, in my mind, but I did enjoy both.

 Steve Martin's character was too much of an innocent for a dark ending to work. And as it was his first movie, (not counting the cameo in the Sgt. Pepper musical) I doubt the studio would take a chance like that.

 I suppose you're right.

Would have given it a hell of an identity though.
