City of Ember

I got this from my Netflix the other day. I had never heard of it before. I was curious because Bill Murry and Tim Robbins were in it. This was actually a pretty cool movie. An adventure type movie.

It's a nice flick, especially if you're a fan of steampunk.

It's OK even if a little on the corny side. Maybe it rates a little higher if you have kids. I'm a Bill Murray fan but thought he was a distraction in this film and someone else should have played his part.

I thought it was a pretty enjoyable. I definitely would have enjoyed it more if I were like 15 years younger, but it was worth renting when I was babysitting my nephews. ;)
