Goblet of Fire, Stealing Beauty, The Corpse Bride and Howl's Moving Castle

[samvara]

See, I *do* see movies.

Goblet of Fire was strangely like watching a very long preview, lots of scenes, no exposition. Am happy with Cedric's beautifully highlighted cheekbones and unhappy with Dumbledore's shouty persona.

Stealing Beauty I have seen before and still adore, it's all atmospheric and passionate.

The Corpse Bride was a bit more traditional than Nightmare before Christmas and very pretty. Hmm, a sweet, victorian gal in a high necked dress or a hot corpse bride who dances and plays the piano.. difficult choice, if it wasn't the for the pulse problem I would have gone for the corpse.

Howl's Moving Castle was fabulous and I'm going to re-watch it repeatedly because I can.

Re Howls - would love to rewatch this with you at some point, i so so adore this movie!!

Re Harry Potter I actually liked the way they cut the book to a movie, mind you, it doesn't change the fact that the book was infinitely better simply for the sheer detail that you can put into a book that you can't in a movie... still will be interested in seeing the extended version to see if that makes a difference.

I haven't seen Stealing Beauty yet, but given your comment on it, i'm now looking forward to doing so...

Stealing Beauty is one of my most favourite ever movies. I'm going to have to watch it again now.....
