Movie Rating
Under-rated Dreamworks animation, with Will Ferrell voicing the super villain Megamind, who spends his time fighting against the superhero MetroMan.

And then (he thinks) manages to defeat and kill the same, after he he sinks into a funk of depression.

Like Despicable Me, this also has a character called Minion (here, one character instead of a group of the same), with most of the banter coming from the interaction between Megamind and Minion in what is (essentially) a family friendly underdog story as Megamind discovers that being a villain is not everything there is to life.

"Bill Foege is one of my heroes. Among his many accomplishments, he was instrumental in ridding the world of smallpox, which is still the only human disease ever eradicated. This book gives you a great view from the front lines of that battle. Bill was a mentor to Melinda and me in the early days of our philanthropy, and he continues to give us great advice today. I also recommend his deeply moving Gates Notes article about fighting river blindness. It’s a fantastic story that gives you real insight into how he thinks about his work."

"From the opening shots of Daniel Day Lewis running through a forest in chase of a deer, to the finale when he’s sprinting across a mountain to protect his brother, this is my kind of romance – men and women living upon the earth, fighting for love, and willing to die for nothing more than honor. It may not be the ‘greatest love story’ ever told, but when Day Lewis promises to find Madeleine Stowe’s character, no matter where she goes, before jumping off a waterfall, that’s one of the great scenes in cinema history. Kudos to Michael Mann."
