    In Quebec, the top movie of the weekend is most certainly Les Aventures de Tintin!! Saw it yesterday in 3D and it was great! The theater was full!! Thumbs up for a movie which comes like a breath of fresh air at this time of year!

    Personally I didn’t enjoy Valentine’s Day so I doubt I will see this. I find a film with this many story lines waters down the characters too much and I don’t get invested in anybody enough to actually enjoy the overall film. Guess i wasn’t the only one.

    That’s a lot of high priced movie stars. I wonder if they will make their $ back.
