RATATOUILLE (2007) * I can't stand cooking shows. I don't like rat movies. Modern animation techniques lack the soul of the old and true ones. (true animation? don't stop him, he thinks he's on a role) I have no idea why I thought that I might like this. What could they have possibly shown me in the previews to give me hope? Liars! Well, I do like French people and French culture, but these morons have to keep showing themselves pictures of the Eiffel Tower to remind them that they're in Paris ! If they went there they'd buy a beret and come home and put it in their closet. Well, actually, I remember trying to buy a beret in France as a little kid, but of course I wanted a green one. They said something that included gauche . Yeah, well.maybe, but I'm not impressed with the darker ones either, you know! Woulda never got John Wayne in one of those ones with a long tassel, I tell you that. Anyway, this movie is very dull and doesn't go anywhere and just goes on. I thought it was wrapping up about 35 minutes before it did. I wasn't happy, but relieved. Instead they geared up the torment for yet another pointless run. Bastards! Oh, wait, Peter O'Toole as the critic Ego was a slightly redeeming quality.
