Aug. 4th, 2009 02:41 pmSo, a couple of days ago, Mom and I got Coraline.
I loved it. The scenery, the animation, all of it.
At first, I was kind of worried - mainly because of hearing there would be another character around Coraline's age in the movie. This was because I thought that, when it came to the final showdown with the Other Mother (not the other mother's hand, as creepy as it was, it was no where near as threatening as the Mother herself) it would be Coraline and Wybie that would defeat her, and I felt that, if that happened, it'd take away some of the awesomeness of the character of Coraline.
I should not have been worried.
I actually ended up liking Wybie and Other Wybie quite a bit. Wybie and Coraline both felt like real kids, Wybie as the sort of geeky-daredevil kid on the block that does crazy stuff but is still pretty damn cool, Coraline as a kid going through a tough time in her life and looking for something better, but realizing that what she found wasn't better.
Plus, the scene with the Other Mother's hand, and Wybie coming in just the nick of time. Big Damn Hero and a Crowning Moment of Awesome. And then Coraline saving Wybie, and the both of them pushing the lid to the well back - that was good.
The whole other world - how it started to slowly get worse, and then the entire degeneration of the Other Father, and him apologizing and saying "Mother made me, don't want to hurt you" while going after Coraline, and him giving her one of the ghost children's eyes.
And then the Other Mother, how friggin' creepy she was - the first reveal, then her spider legs, and then her face looking like it was shattering, and what she did to the Other Wybie, oh god.
The Other Mr. Bobinsky, saying "Not even that... anymore." very softly, almost sadly.
It was a very, very good movie. I plan on watching the Deleted scenes later on.

Jul. 15th, 2009 03:36 pmMom and I went to see the latest Harry Potter movie last night. Grandma and Grandpa dropped me off at where Mom works, and she and I went to the mall, and tried to figure out what to do. After a bit we got in line, got into the theater, and sat in the nosebleed section because it was just that packed. On the good side, though, there was no screaming little kids.
Mom sent me out to go get munchies, and I came back with a large pop and popcorn. I was wise, though, and after handing her the stuff back I went to the bathroom. Then I came back, squirming and wiggling and grinning madly, and we waited for the movie to start.
It. Was. EXCELLENT. I adored the movie - and so did everyone else, apparently. There was applause at the end of the movie.
On a less squeeful part, Grandma had her knee surgery today. Grandma told Grandpa to leave after she was knocked out - 53 years and she still doesn't know him that well. Mom and I are gonna go and see her later on.
