Yes, a beautiful movie (visually none the least), but it has some problems too. Especially concerning the Latika and Samil characters.Quote:

Still, it is a very good movie. India is a big part of that too.
Also, just saw La Mala Educación. Very good and sensual movie that constantly went in another direction than the one expected. It made me remember how much I like Almodovar.
Yeah, there's definitely some holes like that, but I think the simple beauty of the story allows for eschewing of those kinds of details.Quote:

I was enamored of this movie for the entire running length. A lot of people said the story was weak, and I guess it wasn't amazing, but it really complemented the visual effects well. The effects really have set a new bar for immersion in films, and I was happy that it was used for a lot more than just a gimmick. I didn't even notice the long running time because it drew me in so much.
I really think Avatar was successful in being a cinematic experience as opposed to just a film. I really hope this creates a trend for film makers.
A little late, but I finally watched The Princess and the Frog and was pleasantly surprised. Music was good, all the characters were awesome and the plot was not as predictable as I thought it would be. I only wish it was doing better in theaters cause I really miss when Disney did 2D animation instead of letting Pixar do everything and importing Miyazaki's works.
Not that importing Miyazaki is a bad thing. :D
I saw Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs today, rather against my will. The overall movie was pretty dumb, but there were some parts where I laughed a little, admittedly. I fell asleep near the end though. Maybe I was laughing because I'll laugh at anything when I'm sleepy.
Also, I just now watched The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, which I almost bought the DVD of today. Now I'm glad I used a different method to watch it, since I'll be getting the special edition instead of the standard edition, because it was fantastic.
Sherlock Holmes.
Good gods why did I pay?!
The Fountain.
Amazing.
Whisper of the Heart:
I got teary when everyone was playing Country Roads :x very pretty~
That is one incredible film. Pretty much any passing reminder of Yoshifumi Kondo makes me teary.Quote:

I just saw an online blog where they mentioned that Ponyo was in the five top grossing theatrical anime releases in the U.S.
Against my better judgement I went and saw Sherlock Holmes. I went in expecting changes from the source material and I went out of that movie thinking I spent my money rather well.
