on Jun 10 2005 01:22 AM "Howl" is an excellent movie. I just hope the dubbing is professional and doesn't ruin the experience of watching it. And I was hoping for "High Tension" to have better reviews (currently at 52%) ... (Reply to this) |
on Jun 10 2005 02:02 PM In reply to this comment (#822989) That's pretty crazy. I guess that's why he's so revered. He doesn't make that many films, but each of them are great. (Reply to this) |

on Jun 11 2005 12:36 PM [b]MR & MRS SMITH[/b] I SAW IT LAST NIGHT, IT WAS A LOT BETTER THAN I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE, BUT IT SHOULD'VE BEEN RATED R INSTEAD, THAT WOULD'VE MADE THE ACTION A LITTLE BETTER, BUT A FANTASTIC CHASE SCENE WITH 3 BMWS MAKES UP FOR IT. (Reply to this) |
on Jun 12 2005 08:25 AM [b]Howl's![/b] Saw it last Tuesday in the Japantown section of San Francisco. Somehow stumbled upon the preview screening tickets and loved it as well. I was surprised when the logo for Miyazaki's production studio came on the screen and everyone clapped. Being an animation student I realized the fact that his work had gained more critical acclaim in recent years, but I had no idea how strong a fanbase there was for his work. Needless to say I loved the film. Howl is like the son of The Goblin King from Labyrinth or something. - Az (Reply to this) |
