Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

How to Train Your Dragon (2010)

I was really looking forward to this movie -- I'd heard all kinds of good things about it. Unfortunately, I saw it in my living room rather than in a theater wearing 3-D glasses, and I'm thinking that rather robbed the film of what made it so special to the first-round reviewers.

It was adequate, sure, but it wasn't original or very funny (a chuckle here and there was all I could muster) or transportive. I also found Jay Baruchel's vocal stylings as the hero Hiccup (um...har har?) less endearing than grating.
