"Animated, foreign-language, feature-length documentary. These are all separate categories for the Academy Awards, but they also together describe Ari Folman’s Waltz with Bashir, a film that has received tons of praise and Oscar buzz since premiering at Cannes last May. With such a rare combination and transcendence of genres, Waltz could possibly have been the first film to be nominated for Best Animated Feature, Best Documentary Feature and Best Foreign Language Film. Unfortunately, soon after being announced as Israel’s submission to the foreign category, Folman’s film fell out of contention for the documentary prize after its distributor, Sony Pictures Classics, had to choose between having a qualifying theatrical release and taking part in the New York Film Festival. But even if Waltz had been deemed technically eligible for the doc category, would the nominating committee have given it much of a chance?

"This blog entry is part of my "movie recommendation site suggestions". Read more about that here. Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi (Spirited Away) I've finally seen what seems to be by far the most widely seen and highly praised anime movie in the Western world. And I have been enchanted as much as anyone else has. Although the film has a distinctly Japanese flavor, there are many aspects that I think were quite strange to the Japanese as well. So from anyone's perspective, Miyazaki has created another entirely strange new world. It's not just the fact that he is able to create such odd and wonderful looking creatures, it's the reality and emotion that flow out of them and their drawn movements and gestures that is so astounding. I think Miyazaki's films are great because each person can find all kinds of allegories for their own world or life in them, sometimes completely different allegories than another person would. Or you can just sit back and let the emotion, story, and vis ... "

"I rate movies on so many different websites that offer movie recommendations based on those ratings that I figured it's time to actually start watching a lot of the top recommended movies. Three of the main sites I get recommendations from are Movielens, Filmaffinity, and Netflix. Below is a list of films that I will be watching based on what these websites predict my ratings would be. ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------- Sholay - NF 5/5Andaz Apna Apna - NF 5/5Double Indemnity - NF 4.9/5, ML 4.5/5, FA 9.3/10Monster in a Box - NF 4.8/5, ML 4.5/5Otona no miru ehon - Umarete wa mita keredo (I Was Born, But...) - NF 4.6/5, FA 9.3/10La Ronde - NF 4.6, FA 9.3Kumonosu jô (Throne of "

"Kiki’s Delivery Service is an adorable, good-natured movie that tells the story of a thirteen year old girl who leaves home for a year to live in the city where she will train to become a witch. When she arrives in the city with her cat Jiji she discovers that the city is less welcoming than she expected and struggles to find somewhere to stay. A chance encounter with the owner of a bakery leads not only to Kiki being offered her spare room but also the discovery that she has a talent for delivering items. Starting her own business, Kiki makes new friends and gets herself into a number of scrapes. These scenes gently amuse, demonstrating Kiki’s sweet personality and determination as she tries to ensure that her customers receive their goods in time. We also see her gain confidence as she begins to feel comfortable in her new home and she finds herself attracting the attention of a young boy obsessed with flying, Tombo. The film’s animation shows the imagination an ... "

"I fell out of the Anime fad almost as quickly as I dove into it, and now 95% of the time refuse to see anything "Anime" (it's not the art, honestly, I really like the style and think alot of work is put into it...It's the Fandom-and-animated series that get to me). I was worried at first to of seen Disney getting together with the anime, i thought that the "trend" had become even bigger and soon everything was going to be like Naruto. But after I heard it was directed by Hayao Miyazaki, I honestly calmed down and was quite excited to see how it turned out. I more than enjoyed Princess Mononoke and a couple of his other films, never once before had he disapointed me. And Spirited away wound up being one of the best Disney/Miyazaki films I had seen in quite a long time. It was very Alice in wonderland like but more heart-touching. I became quite attatched to little Chihiro and there were quite a few scenes that i felt i could relate to. I'll admit r ... "

"I watched this one again this weekend. It was the third time I've watched this picture. I always tell people what a beautiful film it is, yet I always seem to forget huge portions of it. Now I know why. I JUST DON'T GET IT. I see the very obvious issues of consumption and greed, gaining self-reliance, and innocence, but I swear there is something in here I am not catching. The fantastically imaginative images that Miyazaki thrusts upon the viewer are delightful, morbid, creepy, arresting, adorable, and humorous all at the same time. It is quite a feat! And every time I have watched this, it has jumped out at me and affected me in a new way. I just can't help this feeling that there is something I am missing. Perhaps it could be somehting cultural that doesn't translate easily.......anyway....Is there anyone out there who feels like they have a good grasp of this movie? "
