Movie Questions

Monday I have jury duty. Yay.

Now, I would like to actually serve on a jury, although my attitude in general pretty much guarantees I'll never be on (see, I'm a thinker, and lawyers hate those). Odds are, though, that I'll be out of the courthouse in enough time to catch the 1 PM showing of Journey to the Center of the Earth. Anyone seen it, and what do you think?

Also, listed on the "Coming Soon" sign is Tropic Thunder, the Ben Stiller movie that people keep complaining about for the use of the word "retard." (Never mind that, in the clips I've seen, the whole point is that the people who use the word are clearly not people to be emulated.) Any thoughts on that one, either?
