Review: One of the best Pixar films in years. Charming, creative, well-paced, completely HILARIOUS, and a great Bay Area vibe. Definitely stands up with the original in my mind.

Review: I didn't come into this film expecting much, but it turned out to be truly exceptional. The pacing was a bit slow at times, but the character development was great, the plot was captivating, and the visuals were amazing. I had this in my library for a while, and I was never too much into the Kenshin series, so I was shocked to discover 2/3 through that the dark and violent protagonist was the same bubbly character from the anime! I really love how well he was reinvented here.

Review: Great art, great characters, but too short and not dense enough. I was left wanting for closure. I really liked the soundtrack as well as some of the quiet, meditative shots of the environment. It's a shame we don't get those in Western moviemaking very often.

Review: A more personal Bond -- less about grand international conspiracies and more about the personalities involved. Unfortunately, I feel the quality of the movie suffers for it: the plot doesn't make all that much sense and feels incomplete, and half the movie is basically Bond playing babysitter.

Review: Incredible setting, beautiful cinematography, great acting. The "seduction" scene was quite unsettling to me -- not sure if it was intended to be that way. I didn't get a good sense of what the film was trying to say -- the themes were all over the place, but I don't think that's a fault of the film per se. The soundtrack is utterly unique and fits the retro-futuristic appearance of the film perfectly.

Review: Unbelievably beautiful, excellent characters, fascinating plot. Very long but never lets up. Soundtrack is fantastic. My only real issue is with the second half of the movie: I found it difficult to understand Lawrence's transformation, and the dramatic arc was a bit strange. I was very fortunate to see the 4k digitally restored version of this film on the big screen, and it was astounding: every frame was perfectly sharp and there was almost no grain to be seen.

Review: One of my favorite Miyazaki films. Beautiful and contemplative, with fantastic settings, interesting plot and characters, and a well-paced story arc. (Though I should note that the movie definitely takes its time — but that could be said of many great movies.) As always, the environmental animation and backdrops are jaw-dropping.

Review: Really feels like an early 20th-century silent film, except for a few clever moments. The actors were great -- almost hard to believe they're from our time. I particularly commend the sound design, which was used to great and unexpected effect in several scenes. The cinematography was top-notch as well. My only criticism is that it's not entirely captivating, but perhaps that has more to do with the style.

Review: Méliès's story is beautiful. The film looks great, and the CGI isn't particularly distracting like in many other films. Love all the mechanical stuff. There are weaknesses -- the "villain" isn't particularly convincing, the child actors aren't engrossing, and some of the scenes are drawn out.

Review: Incredible movie. On the narrative side, it's beautiful and touching, darkly hilarious, full of interesting characters, and a great murder mystery to boot. On the artistic side, the music and cinematography are among the best I've ever seen. As an aside, the film actually reminded me of Breaking Bad quite a bit.
