The Shawshank Redemption

Tim Robbins played the character of Andy Dufresne splendidly, my favorite character in the film. he was so mysterious and you never knew what was going to happen with him or to him next. so many memorable scenes and dialogue, especially through Morgan Freeman's narration and the confrontations between Dufresne and the antagonists. while not as gory or bloody as prison movies that'd be released today, there will still enough scenes that'd leave a chill in your bones and unease in your mind without showing any blood. definately one of the best films that i have ever seen.

The Secret of NIHM

beautifully animated and a story that really grabbed your attention. for an animated movie it surprised me the sort of dark turns it had taken. i loved the wide scope they gave this film that was essentially about small animals on a farm. the only thing i was not so hot about was how short it was. i understand that most animated movies usually stay around the one and a half hour mark, but i thought this was a film that really should have went past that. i really felt that some of the scenes deserved a little more buildup or suspense than they were given. overall though, great film for anyone who's a fan of the work of Don Bluth(The Land Before Time, An American Tail, The Rescuers, etc.) and a fantastic animated film at that.

One of my absolute favorite animated movies. Brings back some memories...

It was a lot better than I was expecting. Totally different than the other two and had a really interest concept. I'd like to see some more movies in this vein if anyone has any recommendations.

I thought I was the only kid in the world who had this movie! Definitely an undergrounder if you ask me. I liked reading what you had to say about it- and I agree that it did have a few darkish parts in it, but it was nice having a little bit of a unique and refreshing atmosphere rather than the same old cutesy Disney movies. I remember being really afraid of that owl when I was little and Nicodemus(?) the head rat. This movie got me at a young age looking at small animals like mice and such in a different light. It been ages since I've seen the movie but I always remember that scene at the very beginning when the farmer was plowing his field and they had to run for their lives and, if I remember right, their little house was destroyed. But anyway thanks for bringing this up!

I ended up watching a Moroccan movie last night up at school called What a Wonderful World

It was an interesting movie, had a very Quentin Tarantino vibe to it. Essentially it was the intertwined stories of a hitman, a traffic cop, a prostitute, and a computer hacker. It was one of those movies that seemed to be artsy for the sake of being artsy, which can get a little tiring because you're spending all your time trying to figure out what the hidden meanings are. Overall though it was a pretty enjoyable film, however a lot of the other people at the movie really didn't care much for it.

watched it earlier, that's some allegorical surreal overacted bloody tentacular stuff.
It was a bit of a mess but i got the gist of it (especially reading about the director's divorce issues at the time)... however two bits of imagery i couldn't work out: the pink socks and the ribcage thing. any ideas?

It's great to know there's another Bluth fan up in this bitch.

He's one of my favorite animators of all time, he worked on a few Disney classics such as Sleeping Beauty, Jungle Book, Sword in the Stone and Robin Hood, and NIMH is argubly his best non-Disney film.

It's a shame he went downhill in the 90s with stuff like Rock-A-Doodle and Thumbelina, the animation was still fantastic, but that can't always save a lousy story and voice acting.

I actually liked Titan AE though.

Oh, and Bluth is currently working on a Dragon's Lair movie, how cool is that? I'm actually looking forward to seeing it.
