It was a free Stars weekend on DirecTV so caught some new (to me) movies.
The first was "Big Hero Six". It wasn't at all what I was expecting but I really enjoyed it. i look forward to the inevitable sequel. The American/Japanese mashup was interesting and a bit jarring at times.
I have never seen "My Cousin Vinny" as it didn't look like my kind of movie. I recently saw an interesting tidbit about the movie on Reddit, so recorded it when it came up on Stars. Turns out it was pretty good and I enjoyed it. It was amusing, though not "laugh out loud" funny. I thought Pesci did a good job but was actually too old for the part. Marisa Tomei was "wow" and completely stole the show.
