(no subject)

So, I've seen a few movies recently-- Van Helsing, Brother Bear, and Secondhand Lions.

Brother Bear I loved . . . I'm a huge fan of animated features anyway, and this one was just very cool, especially in light of the making-of featurette. Seeing the Bulgarian women's choir perform part of the soundtrack was way too neat, and I always love watching parts of the animation process. *sighs and wishes she could draw* ;-)

Secondhand Lions I also loved, and I'm going to buy it as soon as possible (all the copies were gone at the store. Other people have good taste, too). Performances were excellent all around, and I have to say that the uncles' characters are now my role models for what I want to be like when I'm older. They were just perfect.

As for Van Helsing... I'd been looking forward to seeing it for a while, and then I saw all the critics' reviews bashing it (the critics and I rarely see eye-to-eye on *anything*) and this was no exception. For the most part.

Major spoilers behind the cut.
