Atlantis: The Lost Empire

I really liked it. Non-stop action, great characters, and it had a Mike Mignola feel to the designs. I didn't notice until 3/4 of the way in that it was completely without any musical numbers. And it guest stared a certain losing monster from our Monster Wars.

Treasure Planet

I'm not familiar with Treasure Island but I quite enjoyed Silver's portrayal in this movie. Definitely the most three dimensional character. Animation-wise I preferred the hard-edged characters in Atlantis. The characters and shading were a bit too soft for my liking. The doc was animated particularly well though. And the few running scenes where the camera was directly behind or in front were impressive. Martin Short's character was painfully annoying, but thankfully didn't receive too much screen time.

On to the next Disney film!

Yay, watching Disney films you never saw is fun.

Mongol. 8/10.
Story about the beginning of Genghis Khan's life. Supposed to be the first one of a trilogy, so it doesn't cover the battles outside of Mongolia.
Watch it in Mongolian with subtitles.

Edit: I thought this girl was gorgeous.

Oh yeah:
Identity (again). 9/10 (up from 8/10).
Great movie, nice even when you've already seen it (and know the clue).

The Black Cauldron

Rescuing princess? check
Master Sword? check
Breaking pots? check
Evil wizard? check
Fairies? check
Traveling through woods and dungeons? check
Trading with witches? check
Skeleton warriors? check

The two main characters seem like prototypes for Link and Zelda.

Pretty dark for a Disney movie.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame

So very very pretty. Especially this scene:

I was beginning to think no Disney movies had shading on the characters after the couple of movies I just saw. Though if you notice the people in the background, they're some sad dancing CGI. Impressive for '96 I suppose...and the confetti hides them...confetti!

I started watching Akira, but I fell asleep. (Well, almost. I still was awake enough to turn the movie off and crawl into bed.)

I'll finish it later.

Lethal Weapon 1-4

If I had to judge, I would say they go in order of quality, though 1 and 2 are really close, and 3 is pretty good, but has some problems.

4 isn't bad, but it just wears thin with Chris Rock and Joe Pesci playing loudmouths.

Watched it over the past week, first time seeing them all fully.

Took a break from Disney to watch Pumpkinhead for a weekly sketch group. Meh movie. Awesome monster.

Had to draw either Pumpkinhead, a werewolf, or Elvira.

Brother Bear

Surprisingly good. Like Pocahontas meets the Lion King with a bit of Bambi. Didn't care for the few songs (not a Phil Collins fan) and the moose were too stereotypically Canadian (never have I heard so many "ehs" before), but other than that a great film. Enjoyed the beginning a bit more methinks. The animals were the most realistic I've seen in a Disney movie and it was starting to feel really epic with the fight...and then it got all cutesy.

Trick 'r Treat

Very fun movie...which is surprising being from the writer of Superman Returns. And it has the cutest killer whatever it was. Great Halloween atmosphere. Reminded me of Hocus Pocus in that respect.

Whoa, there's an ad-bot posting intelligent, on-topic posts, and managing to advertise in it's signature. Props to whoever pulled that off

Swingers (1996) Jon Fauvre n Vince Vaughn. I actually really liked this. dialogue driven.

Hana-Bi (1998) Kitano film that's bleak but good. Cop's wife has cancer. Yakuza+beat kicking heads.

Starting Out in the Evening (2008) About an author nearing death. Bit of a bore.

La Femme Nikita (1990) gooood shit.

Finished Akira. Pretty boring. But I can see how it was really awesome 21 years ago.

Seth · 10-21-2009, 11:31 AM

Six-String Samurai (1998) I liked this post-apocalypse guitar king samurai movie. Recommended. low budget

Legendary Assassin HK flik that stars donnie yen's 'enemy' in Sha Po Lang. Bad movie, some cool kicks but not really worth all the melodrama.
