Our Saturday double feature was "Lilo and Stitch" followed by
"Road to Perdition." Both were good to excellent; of course there
are lots of logical things one could poke at in "Lilo," but as an
animated movie for kids it's vastly better than, say, "The Great
Mouse Detective," Disney's offering from 1986. Both films are
at the second-run Village Theater.

I really liked "Lilo and Stitch". Yes, there were logic flaws, but it felt
right.

"Nadja" is a great recipe for insomnia.
Have seen the first few minutes of it three times and then the couch
or bed beckons me...

I saw Jackass the movie this weekend. If any of you like the show (and yes
this is DEFINITELY a prerequisite for going) then I highly highly recommend
it, I don't think I stopped laughing the entire time, except for two parts
which were too disgusting even for me (And I have a pretty high tolerance).
I won't bother giving anything away but you JAckass fans know who you are,
you won't be disappointed. I have to say though, the last couple CKY movies
were actually better.. maybe if only they had more skating and less pranks,
I dunno...

#127> Joe Bfstplk, who was the manifestation of misfortune, always had a rain
cloud over his head. His proximity caused failures in the endeavors of the
other characters and he was as welcome as the Grim Reaper.
I don't think that there was a way to get rd of Joe.

STAR WARS EPISODE II Attack of the Clones: The Imax version
This is absolutely awesome to watch in the newly released IMAX version.
Attack of the Clones was not filmed, it was shot digitally, and one of the
benefits of the shooting a film digitally is that it can be done in
different formats. This movie was shot simultaneously in the IMAX digital
format. On the huge IMAX screen, the special effects in Attack of the
Clones become more amazing than ever. I noticed a lot watching it in this
version (details in the effects and the scenes) that are easy to miss in
the regular format. It is really something to watch on IMAX a film that
is so massively laid out and conceptualized. This is the first movie
that truly starts to show the future and the potential of the IMAX format.
Even if you've seen this movie more than once, it is a must see to watch
the IMAX version.

Is it 3D IMAX? If there's a movie that was begging to be done in 3D,
this is it.

I saw Apollo 13 at the Henry Ford Museum's IMAX theater. My impressions
were mixed; the sound was great, but the kinds of close-ups and pans
that work well in a normal movie are dizzying and disorienting in an
IMAX film because the screen is too big to take in all at once.
My advice is if you see one of these IMAX re-releases of a conventional
film, sit as far back as you can.

This Star Wars fan is not sure he could stomach sitting through
ATTACK OF THE CLONES a second time, IMAX or no IMAX.
I saw some publicity about the IMAX space station documentary showing
at the Henry Ford Museum, but I didn't get any details about it.
That's the film I'd want to see.

Apparently it was filmed by astronauts on the International Space Station.
It looked pretty cool from the trailer I saw.

SPIRITED AWAY-- Saw this earlier this evening and it blew me away. It is
the new movie written and directed by the grand master of Japanimation,
Hayao Miyazaki. The story of a ten year old girl who gets lost in a
strange and fascinating world full of spirits and ghosts, and through her
adventures learns lessons about herself and the world around her.
Miyazaki, whom Disney animators consider the absolute master of the craft,
came out of retirement to do this movie. This is a deeply moving story
with some of the best film animation you'll ever see. The characters are
unforgettable. The film was released in Japan last year and is already
the top grossing film of all time there. Its release here was delayed so
Disney could do an english voice track. "Spirited Away" is easily the
best movie I have seen this year, and it is sure to get consideration for
year-end movie awards, even though is it animated. Also the music in it
is really beautiful, I even stopped at HMV on the way home and bought the
soundtrack CD. Go see MIYAZAKI'S SPIRITED AWAY" while it is still in
theaters. The brilliance of Miyazaki's animation (he hates using
computers and hand paints every frame, needs to be seen on the big
screen!
This is a classic and will warm your heart. Strongest recommendation
(five stars)

oh yeah and when "Spirited Away" ended and Miyazaki's name came up on the
credits afterwards, the audience in the theater where I saw it tonight
gave a spontaneous burst of applause. You don't see that too often
at movies (unless it is a premiere or the director is present or something)

(A decade or two ago, there was a florishing campus cinema movement on the
UofM campus. Every night three or four of the campus auditoriums would have
movies running, with admission set at a couple bucks. Different movies every
night. A lot of us saw a lot of movies, and got pretty enthusiastic about
them. In those days it was normal for people to be applauding credits for
actors, directors, producers and screenwriters, including wild cheering for
some. Did it make sense to be applauding people who weren't there to hear
the applause? Seemed good to me. I miss those days a lot.)

CURRENT magazine indicates that there is a new campus film
group called Projectorhead. I *think* they show free films on
Thursdays.
resp:145 and surrounding :: The Henry Ford Museum Imax schedule

Both the Space Station film and ATTACK OF THE CLONES have
Imax showings until Christmas; after December 25, THE LION KING

Really? Me, the roomie, our men and some friends were going to try to
see it tomorrow. I suspect it might be as difficult tomorrow as it was
over the weekend.
