Over the Hedge is great!
The story of Over the Hedge isn't anything too spectacular, but the cast, writing, and flawless site gags are pulled off so well you won't care. This is the least annoying I've ever heard Garry Shandling (apologies Garry, but your voice can get a tad nasally), and the performances turned in by Shatner and Carell are simply hysterical.
If you have kids, take them to this movie. If you don't have kids, borrow someone else's and take to this movie. Absolutely worth it.
No comment on the official PS2 game of the movie - played with it a little bit, and it appears to be a standard marketing-drivel platformer. I wish they'd stop doing that.

Kung Fu Hustle = Awesome
This movie has been out for a while, and is one of the movies that generally sounds ignorable. I happened to catch it on cable last night, and I have to say - it was great! Terrific mix of campy comedy, martial arts mayhem, some really good wire work, and computer effects that pulled everything together. If you haven't seen Kung Fu Hustle, I highly recommend it!

Holy crap Aeon Flux was bad...
Like "force yourself to sit through it to the end in the hopes that something might salvage it..." bad. Like "you know, Charlize Theron isn't really THAT attractive..." bad. Like "Showgirls" bad... yeah. If you liked the animated series from back in the day, I'd suggest you go re-watch that and just pretend they never made a movie of it.
I have to go wash my eyeballs...
