The Fall 2006, R)
what a gorgeous, amazing film. i liked this better than pan's labyrinth, and that's saying a lot. it took me so long to see it because of bad reviews (wtf!). This is from the same director as The Cell, and you can really see similarities in the total perfction of the set and costume design. the story is dark and satyrical but also moving, and the little girl is played by possibly the most adorable child actor ever. the fantasy part of the film looked completely magical. also: great behind the scenes featurettes on the dvd, and awesome massive attack video based on this (paradise circus) |

Coraline 2009, PG)
holy FANTASTIC stop-motion animation work! I watched this in 2D and loved it, and the soundtrack too. I haven't read the book yet but i'll bet it's a little darker than the movie, compared to what i know of neil gaiman's style. but given the scale of production, all is forgiven - if it was too dark it wouldn't have mass market appeal, but it would have scored an extra point from me. EDIT: I watched it again in 3D and liked it even better the second time. |

Watchmen 2009, R)
this is awesomeness. i actually liked the changed ending from the book. let me clarify that watchmen is one of my favourite books of all time. there are only 4 possible reasons for people not to like this movie: 1) you're not a fan of comic books, superheroes, or sci-fi 2) you want to look cool so you dislike everything that's overhyped, 3) you don't agree with the philosophy of the book because you have so much faith in humanity, and 4) you didn't get it. |
