It probably ruined mirrors for everyone else who watched it, too.
It was funny when I saw the poster, because my sister saw it before I did, and she started laughing at me until she told me what was up. XD Yay for being the only anime fan in my house.

However, while I don't want to sound like I'm going 'THEY CHANGED ONE DETAIL FROM THE BOOK! RUINED FOREVER!!1!', I couldn't help but feel the amount of time spent on St Aggie's and the brainwashing was way too small. I found the whole 'moonblinking' deal and how creepy it was to be one of the best things about the book. They spent about 5 minutes on it in the movie, but I guess that's a small nitpick from me.
Not just that: because the movie is basically 3 books stuffed into 2 hours, a lot of stuff gets skipped over very quickly, in a way that makes the plot hang together a bit shakily. There's tons of plot points, but they're all a bit rushed.
Anyway, this was a great movie. Still definitely worth seeing.

Awesomely made and funny documentary about history of street art and the art itself, made by no other than the famous Banksy. Not even boring for one second and recommended to anyone who is a fan of uniquely done, underground art. (:

WALL*E - 8/10. It left me a bit disappointed after the greatness that was Up, but it was cute and had some really powerful scenes - such as when the captain realized what happened to Earth 700 years ago (I still remember his line, "I want to live, not survive"). Also has an important message.

Really? I thought Wall-E would at least tie with Up. I definitely wouldn't be disappointed as a result of watching Up as I think the message from Wall-E was more valuable to us. Plus it's good seeing humanity triumph in the credits.

I ended up watching it on the plane back from Cuba. I will be watching it again, due to the fact it was the airline version, which had all the swearing and violence cut out of it, taking away a lot of the film scenes. After that I watched "The Bounty Hunter" with Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston. I had to go wash my eyes out after watching it. Possibly the worst film I've seen this year.

What can I say? I really enjoyed this film. The animation is mostly flawless with great characters that are interestign and don't feel forced. I love the way Mei says exactly what her sister does, very cute. I also love the random craziness of it all, like the cat bus or totoro himself. It was a good movie, it loses half a mark for me because I think the story could have had some more dramatic events other than Mei getting lost, however, seeing as its a kids movie and they were trying to keep it simple, i'm fine with it.

The first half of the movie was actually nice and kind of cool but then... the story just got more and more bizarre (which I presume is George Lucas' fault...).

Yeah but I have mega objections to his 'Ideas are bulletproof' statement especially when he's wearing a bulletproof vest.
That's like bringing a torch to an ancient undiscovered civilisation and claiming to be a sun god.

Watching Ghibli movies lately, eh?
Try Howl's Castle or the Castle in the Sky, The Chronicles of Earth Sea or Princess Mononoke

Sure there is.
Like how the girl's Dad is the best character in the film with the chin of a god while the mum has some serious junk in the trunk.

@Pierre- Nah, Noface is the best character. But I agree with everything else.
Kiki's Delivery Service- 8/10 (MORE GHIBLI?)
This film is very nice, yet again the animation from what I can tell is flawless and the background art looks cool too. The characters all have beleivable personalites, but my favourte character is Jiji the cat. I love his sarcastic vewis on the world and what Kiki does xD ALthough it seemed like there wasn't as many deliveries as there could have been, She could have met so many more different people...Maybe its a good thing they kept it down, I dunno. And Ursula reminds me of someone I know in real life, so she was a good character as well!
Enough of me moaning about Ghibli films already.

Disney's adaption of the fairy tale the little mermaid. I like it. The stand out scene was Ursula singing poor unfortunate souls.

It was hard for this movie to fail. With Aaron Sorkin and David Fincher on board, a story so trivial was wonderfully told. Who knew the history of Facebook was so dramatic?

Beautiful in both visuals and audio, which is to be expected from the guy who created Les Triplettes de Belleville. Very strong characters, and an incredibly bittersweet ending; you won't know whether to smile or cry.
10/10
Also featuring a cameo by Winston Payne circa 3-1!
(He's on lead guitar, the stunner.)

Does EPIC FAIL/10 count as a score? No? Okay then, 1/10
And I'm not exagurrating, this was just a failboat of a movie, first off, much too much unesacerry swearing. A little is fine, but in EVERY SENTENCE there was some swearing. Yeah, not needed. Also, non-funny sex jokes, blah blah blah and the plot was just OMGWTF

Historically totally wrong (but it'd been better like it happened in the movie) yet very entertaining. Also great actors, I got shivers everytime I saw Lander, but he changed in a wrong way in the end of the movie, imo. Still a great movie I'd choose to rewatch anytime again, bravo Quentin Tarrantino

The ending was pure genius. It all tied up so nicely in a way that had me pleasantly and tearfully surprised.

Ooh, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, I mean,
Can't wait for a dvd release, which is, according to Fnac, in February 2011. Oh, and a soundtrack release. Music was so beautiful, it'd be a crime if it went unreleased. Hell, the OST to Triplets of Belleville was released (of course, I have it), so I don't see why this should be any different!
Also, just putting it out there, but I'd do Alice. No bones about it!

Great movie, one of my all time favorites... I love Russel Crowe.
I can't really say anything about the movie, without spoiling it for those who would still like to see it...
The story is really touching, and it's not fiction, that's the most fascinating part. It made me cry.
