lemme guess... Because it's a Japanese movie, it's suddenly the best movie ever

[krissy]

i didn't like spirited away as much as other ghibli flicks
like i dunno if i'd watch it again on my own
but you gotta admit it took the ghost world scenario and did some creepy things with it
i don't think it's comparable to other disney films though. apples and oranges.

No, because it's one of the most charming and imaginative movies I've ever seen, with great characters, and some of the most beautiful hand drawn animation around. Not to mention a great soundtrack. I love me some classic Disney, but it's got nothing on Miyazaki at his best.

Yes, let's all go walking through a lake with lava running over it. The ho deserved to die. Agree completely with your review.


I think the movie I saw most recently was Iron Man. I had a hard time forcing myself to like something with Robert Downey Jr in it, but it was good. Nice special effects. All I can remember is that I found it somewhat underwhelming. 7/10

Agreed. I love Disney too, but Miyazaki is just so much better than Disney in any way - artistically, thematically, story wise.. everything. And just the level of detail and impressions are enough to adore any of his films.

Public Enemies.

It's a good film, but it's not something you should pay to see in the cinema. It's worth maybe a fiver when on DVD. Having said that, it is a good film, I just don't agree with paying more than a tenner for a movie. Even when you know the history behind Dillinger, you still find yourself hoping he (SPOILER) somehow manages to escape. Bear in mind that it is actually a fairly slow film. The adverts and trailers make it all seem to be about bank robberies and gunfights, but it's not. It is not an action flick. It's about the violence as much as The Prestige is about the magic. The main part about the film is about the drama of John Dillinger's life when he wasn't getting rich.

Barton Fink. Great!
This Is England. Greater!

Silence of the Lambs on Blu Ray. Looking and sounding better than ever this movie gets better with hage. Hopkins and Foster are utterly compelling. The best thriller ever made. FACT!
