Coraline

Stacey and I went to see Coraline last night.

Go see this movie! It is AMAZING! I mean it's really seriously the best fantasy type film I've seen since Pan's Labyrinth. I'd actually put it well about PL in as much as it didn't make you want to slit your wrists by the time that it was over.

But it's incredible. The sets are gorgeous. The world is rich and full. The characters are have great appeal and the story is great. It's incredibly creepy in a way I haven't felt since I played the game 'Rule of the Rose'. If there was anything I found slightly lacking it was that there was a part that was a little bit like, "Man. I'd really love to play this as a video game rather than watch it."

But honestly? This film blows away Nightmare Before Christmas ... Of course, it probably won't do too well in the 'family' market. It's not really a kids film and the christian parents are going to seriously hate on it.


BTW, her other mother... is... so SO hot! You'd be quite tempted to let her devour your soul. :)

11 thumbs up!

Oh... And this review _probably_ isn't even because I have a thing for creepy rag dolls with shiny button eyes. ^_^

Both myself and my kids loved it.

It was, also, sold out, sold out, and the 10:30 showing we watched was still filled with people.

I loved it. Did you get to see it in 3D? It was one of the few times I felt it actually contributed to the story.

Of course! If you can, why bother seeing it in normal?

Saw it in 3D last night and seriously loved it...

And how about that lunar eclipse, eh?

That eclipse and the sequence just after it was one of my favorite parts. Especially when you see the shape of the eclipse's shadow. <3

I just saw it, and loved it! I'll be taking my roommate to see it again, if we can find a 3d showing.
