BEAUTIFUL captions!!

The movie is good, but the captions are beautiful!! Caption users should be pleased; all of the extra stuff I watched was captioned just as well as the movie, too. I know I appreciate this, because I usually enjoy the extra stuff, sometimes more than the movie.

Thanks Nickelodeon or whoever is responsible!!

spiderwick chronicles

This was a movie i missed at the cinemas and so i just had to have it. From the moment i opened the blu-ray case i was impressed with the blu-ray disc which was silver and just looked cool to me. I immediately popped it into my player and was suprised with the clarity of this movie in the scenes shot at night, this would be very important as you will discover near the end. The details of the shots at night was impressive and the sound was awesome. The story has a very nice progression and for me a person who's never seen this movie before, i was just captivated by the special effects and the shots of the scenery, not sure if those were special effects or real shots. I do not want to spoil this movie for people who haven't seen it so all I can say is this is a movie for all ages and its suprisingly very well told and directed. A must buy for those who have seen it and those who missed it.

I love it. Highly recommended

Kids movies

Inventive, moves well, but is a bit too fanciful for my taste yet should appeal to the young. A good movie for the kids during Halloween. For me it was yet nother fantasy world vs reality flick that required me to invest my emotions in someone elses 'what if' world, (where magic and fantastical creatures are the norm), if I am to gleen any shred of enjoyment from veiwing the movie.

As I said , great for the kids especially at Halloween considering the movie is full of cute, (mostly), goblin like creatures. There is redemption at the end however that gives some closure, a quality sadly lacking in the Lemony Snickets movie. This is really a good thing since the movie isn't good enough to engender a part 2, (but then, niether is Lemony Snickets).

Freddie does twins

Another fantasy movie starring white kids; seems that Hollywood is running out of ideas. Luckily this movie makes up with great execution and original special effects. I have never read the book that inspired this movie, but it must be good.

The storyline is simple enough, a divorced mother takes her twin sons and daughter to a house in the countryside that was owned by her aunt. There, the children discover a world of creatures of various shades of friendliness. Some of these creatures want to obtain a book from the country house, and this quest for the book, called The Spiderwick Chronicles, is the chief conflict of the movie. Its resolution is quite original and probably the best part of the movie.

Here are some things to look out for. First is the great acting by David Straithan, in his first fantasy role. Second is Nick Nolte's casting as the chief antagonist. His voice is perfectly suited to his character. And last is the twins played by Freddie Highmore. He pulls of both quite well and makes each a distinct character. Overall, a nice use of 2 hours.
