Ooooooh, Scary! (Kinda)


The lovely wife and I saw Coraline last night.
It was a pretty good film.
Actually it was quite splendid.
Not the Greatest film of all time mind you, but I was VERY impressed.
To think that the ENTIRE film was stop motion, and that so much work went into creating TWO miniature parallel worlds is astounding.
The Premise of the story is neat, but the story itself lagged just a bit in the middle.
The villain was both sweet and scary, and all of the supporting cast was interesting.
All in all, it was a BEAUTIFUL dark film that I will buy when available, but the boy will not get to see it until he is at LEAST 5 or 6, due to it's dark and slightly terrifying nature.
Go see it. It's a true feast for the eyes.
