I am big fan of the Book series. I have read almost all of the books. I
was looking forward to see the animation. The animation was great
actually amazing. I like everything about the animation – music,
landscapes, visual effects, characters and the plot. First I saw it in
2d and then 3d. Animation was to short and there was no blood. If, only if I have to

The Life and Death of Peter Sellers has to be one of the most creative,
complex and revealing non-documentary movies ever made about an actual
person, living or dead, and the inspired casting of Geoffrey Rush is
spot on - he's magnificent in all the various and sundry Sellers
guises, especially the ones from Dr. Strangelove and The Pink Panther's
bumbling inspector. The...

This movie is very much a mixed bag.. it's a good film. It's nice to
watch, the acting is good, the direction is good and the story is
engaging. But I feel it doesn't capture the real spirit of the era and
the Paris artist community. It focuses too much on the immoral behavior
and madness of the artists and leaves out the way these people viewed
the world and their concepts of ...

You don't have to be a fan of Annette Bening (or Jeremy Irons) to enjoy
this high-spirited tale of theatrical life - or rather, Julia Lambert's
life, to be specific. Based on a novella by my one of my all-time favorite authors, W.
Somerset Maugham, Being Julia is sort of like All About Eve, except not
as stage-y. It's a period piece, taking place in England in the '30s,
where b...

This was a pretty clever film mixing live characters and human voices
for the dogs and cats. The dubbing is extremely well-done, and so is
the humor. It's a funny story, although it displays the typical
whacked-out father, which is another political correctness feminist
agenda (mother = good; father = bad). Other than that, it is a very
entertaining film even with a bunch o...

I was impressed by this Disney film for so many reasons, too many to
list here, but I will go on the record as saying that Mulan has got to
be one of the best Disney female characters that ever saw production,
in the midst of a colorful and artistic film, that will resonate in
your memory.Mulan sticks out in my mind for this reason. For once, we have a strong

It is only my opinion, but this was probably one of the best animated
movies I have ever viewed. I cannot understand why someone could
disagree against this movie. Character voicing was superb, full of life
and very well constructed. Aniamtion was beautiful, with smooth
backgrounds and even up to the little details such as footprints left
behind in the snow. The music was proba...

I was dragged to this film by my girlfriend (now wife) when it first came
out in fall of 1995. I had zero interest in what seemed to me nothing
more
than a kids movie. I recall sitting in the theater before the movie

my
life could begin again after this rude 90 minute interruption.Then the film began....

A surprise hit....at least with me. I found this dark comedy hilarious
in spots and so-so in others, but overall a funny movie. With comedy
that's what happens anyway: some jokes connect; others don't. Most are
pretty good in here but beware: some of the jokes are in poor taste,
but that's a dark comedy for you. Also, some Catholics might be
offended because the film takes some...
