87 33% Princess Mononoke (1997) - Rated 14 Aug 2007
"Well, it's Miyazaki, so it's gonna be good...the ecological undertones are what really make this movie for me, though. I've seen quite a few of Miyazaki's movies and this isn't my favorite, but it is a great plot and the message is an important one..."
80 22% The Princess Bride (1987) - Rated 14 Aug 2007
"Great one liners...romantic plot...and carey elwes is total swoon material."
95 66% The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) - Rated 14 Aug 2007
"Aside from the homo-erotic near pillow fight in Rivendell when Frodo is recovering from his wounds during his trip to Mt Doom, this is a pretty amazing adaptation of the book. The special effects are awesome, and Jackson did a great job, imho, of picking an choosing what to keep in and what to leave out. My favorite part in the theatre was listening to the wraiths as they flew into the battle scenes...it sounded like they were all around the theatre...good stuff!"
75 0% Corpse Bride (2005) - Rated 14 Aug 2007
"Gorgeous animation...I especially enjoyed the world of the dead being in color while the world of the living was in muted tones of grey. It was a beautiful film to look at...but 6 months out, I can't really tell you what the plot was. I will admit, that I'm one to enjoy a film if it's pretty and this one was definitely that."
95 66% Howl's Moving Castle (2004) - Rated 14 Aug 2007
"I don't care if the ending is a little too quickly organized and cleaned up...I LOVE this movie. Sophie's resilience in the face of adversity is admirable and the story, until the last 10 minutes, is fascinating. Again... it's Miyazaki, so I'm captivated at the get go...but I really love the romanticism of this film..."
90 55% Spirited Away (2001) - Rated 14 Aug 2007
"My first Miyazaki film...and once Cartoon Network ran the Miyazaki filmfest in March and April of 2006, I was able to see that it wasn't this film alone that I loved...it was the animation and the beauty of the stories that Miyazaki can tell that enveloped me...I love how Chihiro learns to depend on herself...and I love the characters in this story..."
75 0% Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004) - Rated 14 Aug 2007
"Never read the books, loved the characters in the movie...and again...pretty to watch...lots of good stuff in the film..."
88 44% The Upside of Anger (2005) - Rated 14 Aug 2007
"Totally not a comedy...and that's how it was advertised...but wow, so enjoyable. There are a lot of unanswered questions when you watch this film, but I think that's what makes it so enjoyable. Nice twist at the end that is accepted almost too quickly by the members affected."
96 88% Hero (2002) - Rated 14 Aug 2007
"Amazing use of color to tell the story...this is a beautiful film, and if you follow what I like, you know I like films that are pretty...who cares about the plot...but this has everything...plot, twists, color, beauty...you can't take your eyes from the screen."
