Amelie

5 stars out of 5 15 September 2008

One of my favourite films. A funny and touching story of a quiet, almost childlike young woman who tries to help the people around her. The settings are so perfect they could be from a fairytale and the characters are completely unforgettable. Don't be put of by the fact that it's in French with subtitles!

The Princess Bride

Wowowow. I watched this for the first time when I was about 10 and I loved it. It's funny, outrageous and all the things a good romantic comedy fairytale should be. This film if for almost everyone.

Amazing songs, amazing acting, amazing actors. I love this film. Phoenix does a pretty good immpression on Cash. He's also extrememly good looking.

Mirrormask

4 stars out of 5 15 September 2008

Mirrormask is a compelling film that can be interpreted in many ways. I really enjoyed this movie and the ideas behind it. I think the main idea is that in life there are many paths and at the end of each path is the person you could become. This movie is about a girl called Helena who is entering adulthood and choosing her path. She loves drawing and sketching and somehow enters into the land of her pictures. I like the idea that her made up world is just a strange and twisted version of her real world. My favourite character is her mother who has both a good and evil character representing her in Helena's drawings world, this shows the positive and negative feelings she has towards her mother. This movie is unlike any other film I've seen because of its strange animations that are creepy and wonderful at the same time. While Helena is in her world she sees into the future and sees an older version of herself though she doesn't like what she sees. But how can she escape her drawings world before she is trapped forever by her future self?
