Spirited Away - Um. I had heard great things about this movie… and was disappointed in the actual film. Perhaps it was because I was watching a dubbed, not subtitled version, but the entire movie came across as strange and non-sensical. I am a fan of fantasy, but fantasy that is at least somewhat coherent and believable within its world… Spirited Away simply kept adding in elements with sufficient explanation, and worse, these elements felt strange and foreign to me.

Therese - Watched the 1986 version, since I can’t find the 2004 release anywhere. The movie was very French, not just in the speech, which was well-subtitled, but also in the style. The sets had nothing on them, it was as if I were watching a stage production that had been filmed. Overall, however, the movie was thought-provoking and touching.

Hotel Rwanda - A powerful movie describing the plight of a four-star luxury hotel in the heart of Rwanda during the massacres that occurred there last decade.

Almost Famous - I wouldn’t call this a comedy, it’s much more of an inspirational drama. Overall enjoyable.
