Good movies

We saw two really good movies this weekend, and what's most unusual is that both are great for kids, too! Enchanted is a tongue-firmly-embedded-in-cheek fairy tale, and the funniest movie I've seen in a long time. The presence of Susan Sarandon is the only downer in the film, but even she couldn't ruin it (though she tries).
If you love music--and can suspend your disbelief long enough to forgive a whole series of impossible coincidences--August Rush is a wonderful tribute to the power of music. It's gotten mixed reviews, but I think the bad ones are from those who don't hear the music.
It's about time Hollywood started making good movies again.
