cyranoLooks like I get no housemate tonight. She's stuck in Chicago for the night. But I think I'm going to take her home tomorrow when I get done with work.
Today Cari took me to see Pan. Which made me very happy. When I was little, I was given Robin Hood and Peter Pan as role models. Which should explain a few things. So the story is very important to me. And apparently it's also important to the people who made this movie.
The film looks gorgeous, often like a Maxfield Parrish painting. Many many small details delighted me, in addition to the big things like plot and characters.
It was wonderful *finally* getting to see Hook fly, and take away Peter's Happy Thoughts. It's something I wanted to see him do all along.
This is very much a Wendy And Peter movie, and the sexual tension is very nicely done. I liked the wire/cgi work--the flying actually looked a lot like flying most of the time.
Tinkerbell was kind of rotoscoped, the effect similar to the Green Fairy from Moulin Rouge. She was a little too cute at times, but I liked her. She was simple, a little savage, and a creature of impulse.
Kind of like Peter.
The soundtrack was very James Howard, so if you like that kind of thing then go for it.
Four and a half wags, maybe even five.
Day Eleven: Still not seen Return of the King.
