Movies

I actually saw two movies last week. I KNOW! Call me Gene Shalit.

Serenity
So, if you haven't already, get in your auto, drive to that one movie theater (you know, the one that kinda smells like taint and tobacco) and buy a ticket to see Serenity. At that point, it's your choice whether to actually go in the theater and see it - but rest assured: your ticket purchase will be encouraging a sequel thereby doing the world a little favor.

To put it another way...

Corpse Bride
Not so much. I really wanted to like this movie. . . but twas not to be. The visuals of the thing are amazing - the character design is hands down the best of the stop-animation genre. Sadly, the character's personalities don't ever match their aesthetics. Not only that, but the plot is a boring mess of unanswered arcs and meandering tones. See it if you like the art style, but bring a book.
