resp:235, resp:239 :: Belleville's an odd town, isn't it? Clearly a lot of New York in it, and the signs are in English, but the gangsters drive modified Citroens... TRIPLETS OF BELLEVILLE we found absolutely delightful, but it's not going to be for everyone. There is almost no dialog in it, and there's a lot of almost-surrealism. It's (mostly) old fashioned, hand drawn animation, mostly produced in Canada and France, with some BBC help, and there were some other countries there in the credits. Not as much of a musical as I thought it would be; to talk about what the movie is really about might spoil half the fun of trying to figure out where the story is going. The characterization of the dog, Bruno, is one of the best animated animals ever.

Wow! That didn't turn out good.

I suppose it should be mentioned, as TRIPLETS OF BELLEVILLE is an animated film: it's not a movie for small children. There are a few scenes which some might deem unsuitable for kids, but more to the point -- I don't think children under the age of 12 or so would follow the story.

I really liked Triplets of Belleville. I loved the dog's dreams the best. I especially liked the one with the train going around the rim of the food bowl :) I also liked that the French Mafia's slogan was "In Vino Veritas" I think that is going to be my slogan :)

Leslie pointed out that the dog dreams in black and white, as dogs' vision only works in black and white. At least, we think we know that.

Dogs dream in Smell-o-vision: They're dogs, for goodness sakes.

"STarsky and Hutch" was a great popcorn movie. We had a great time at it. "Starsky's bored now!! Starsky's bored now!!"

I must agree with Anthony. The current Dawn of the Dead is worth seeing, even at normal prices.

I agree! It's incredible. The humor, the gore, the filiming. Awesome.

Interesting. I'd dismissed "Dawn of the Dead" as Yet Another Unnecessary Remake, but it's been getting some good reviews and endorsement here from people who have seen it. Maybe I'll catch it sometime.

re #285 Schindler's list
"This film is very empty, for not only does it
portray the germans as 'evil, lop-sided,
devil workshippers' but it shows the jew as
being 'promising, alluring, good guys'. If one
it to question morality, then do so, but don't
give us the black vc white issue found in this
film. Spielberg, immature since day one as
director, tell us what to think, he strips away
our humanity by overdosing us on excessive
amonts of guilt and sentimentality. In effect,
the film lacks any moral basis except to
denounce all evil men and with that, we learn
absolutely nothing"

Ben Kingsley was brilliant.
