Hello TF people!

How about a movies thread? Everyone post the latest movie (or video or DVD) you saw and write a short (or long, depends on you) comment. Maybe even a star rating like (*****) out of five.

I think it's interesting to know what movies people are watching, what they think of the movies, if they're good or bad.

Kapapanuod ko lang kasi ng Kaze no Tani no Naushika ( 風の谷のナウシカ ) -- English title: Naushicaa of the Valley of the Wind. Parang napanuod ko na ito sa Pilipinas at ilang beses ko na ring napanuod sa Japan. Magaling, gaya ng ibang anime ni Hayao Miyazaki. Highly recommended. Pero hindi para sa mga 7-year-olds. From late elementary hanggang adult siguro.

Rating: (*****)

Naushika! Isa sa pinakamagandang anime ni Miyazaki, kasama ang Tonari no Totoro (http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005EL6G/qid=1098885639/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xg l/249-8092187-5578746).

Kapapanuod ko lang ng Mystic River. Technically, magaling ang movie--actors at director, pero emotionally draining. Not recommended for relaxing weekend afternoons.

（★★★★）

May nagbigay sa amin ng free tickets kaya nanood kami ng "Howl's Moving Castle" (ハウルの動く城 -- Hauru no Ugoku Shiro) ni Miyazaki. In short: magaling. Magaling in a way na hindi magaling ang "Finding Nemo" o "Shrek" o kahit na anong film ng Disney in recent memory.

Maganda ("breathtaking" kung minsan) ang pagkaka-drowing ng mga scenes (kailangan ninyong makita ang castle ni Howl in big screen (or at least isang malaking tv with 5.1 dvd sound). Sa panahon ngayon na puro computer-animation ang ginagawa sa Hollywood, malaki ang pagkakaiba ng traditionally made na animation (dinrowing ng kamay).

Memorable din ang mga characters (http://www.howl-movie.com/character/index.html) (ginamit ko sa aking avatar ang isa). Based ito sa libro ni Diana Wynne Jones (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/006441034X/102-8621236-2968136). Maraming sites ang may magandang review (http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/content.php?contenti d=12716) at information (http://www.nausicaa.net/miyazaki/howl/) at news (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4226221.stm) tungkol sa movie. Nandito ang official site (http://www.howl-movie.com/) (in Japanese). Meron ding trailers dito (http://www.onlineghibli.com/howls_castle/media.php).
