Cinderalla: Just a quick one. An enjoyable twist on the classic fairy tale. Was pretty good, but I couldn’t also help but think it could have been better. Cate Blanchett’s performance was good, but, also felt a bit strained and (yes, I know it’s a fairy tale), but somehow unrealistic. If it wasn’t for that, […]

Film: Where the Wild Things Are (2009)
Where the Wild Things Are: I think I mostly disliked this film because I had completely different expectations – I thought it was an animated feature, and I also thought it was meant to be a happy film. However, it was not quite like that at all. The film is about a boy’s imagination basically. […]
Film: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button: A film about a man who ages backwards. Very odd concept, but, I thought it was great. Not quite sure what the clockmaker had to do with anything though! I give it 8/10
Film: Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride (2005)
Corpse Bride: I didn’t realise this was a musical – but I knew it was an animation, though I assumed it was a 3D animation, not a stop motion one! The detail these animators put into their productions is simply amazing. The film was good fun, and shorter than I thought it would be – […]

Afro Samurai: I initially thought this was meant to be a movie, so was a bit confused, when I realised it was episodes, as it was a mini-series. It’s about a ‘samurai’, who is on a mission of revenge against the man who killed his father. It’s very violent, and our main character ‘Afro’ is […]
Movie: Howl’s Moving Castle (2004)
Howl’s Moving Castle: A film by the same director as ‘Spirited Away’ – this film is newer than Spirited Away. What a weird film! I did not totally understood this story, I am sure. I however still enjoyed it. I have questions in why certain things were happening, etc. But, perhaps they are not meant […]
Movie: Spirited Away (2001)
Spirited Away – Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi: I wasn’t sure if I’d like this film, after reading the short synopsis available on Lovefilm, but, that was all pointless as I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. The story is of a young girl who is unhappy about moving to a new home with her parents, and […]
