I didn&#8217;t really have much interest in it, nor did I know anything about the story, but after seeing it three times I can say it&#8217;s a great, great movie.  The biggest reason I saw it three times is that I&#8217;ve never seen effective 3D before.  I think the last movie I saw in 3D was Jaws.  This really felt like 3D.  I don&#8217;t know if I can justify it as a good financial decision to see the same movie three times, but consider that I typically don&#8217;t go to the movies much, it seemed reasonable for a splurge.<\/p>\n<p>Before we get to the personal finance links, I&#8217;d like to suggest that you check out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moneycrashers.com\/new-year-2010-giveaway-bash\/\">Money Crasher&#8217;s contest<\/a>.
