Inkheart


My last post has given me anxiety. This movie was magical, wonderful and beautifully drawn out onto the screen. I really liked Bettany in this film. Its probably the first time I thought he was sexy. Really sexy. Maybe it was the long hair and the eyeliner that did me in. He should have been a 80's/90's rocker who looked fabulous dressed in feminine pieces and having his bare chest gaping through an open shirt or a tacky spandex unitard that has a giant V in it showing his pubic stomache hair. I'm digressing from the story. I can't seem to focus. It was nice to see Fraser in something that he probably enjoyed. Maggie, the daughter was the main focus, even though there was about 4 or 5 that the story focused on. I liked that there was the author of the story who I'm sure might be true for a lot of writers is wanting to be in the story they wrote and the world they have created. I can think of so many children's stories where I'm almost positive that the amount of imagination in the author's head would be something they wish could really exist and a place that they could be. It was just a cute and dramatic family movie. It played up more on maturity and adult emotions and less on how a child would view things. I have to say that The Shadow is by far one of the coolest things I've ever seen in a movie that wasn't real. It looked real. It was amazing. It was awesome. I'm sure that's one of the highlights for me, except Toto was absolutely the cutest dog I have ever seen. Helen Mirren has great hair. This film was casted well. I still see Golem though. That kind of sucks for the actor who played him in LOTR. That's all I will ever see in him. That scary obsessed greedy little toad. Wait. That sounds exactly like Capricorn. Why the character was named after a zodiac sign in beyond me. I'll think about it. Then I will make an analysis of it at a later time. Watch this if you like magic, fantasy and family films. Its really one of the better ones that has come out in the last few years.
