Dragonlance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight (2008)
could've been better.
Been waiting for this one for a long time, as most fans have. I was a little disappointed. One of the main plot developments was totally left out. Berem (the green gemstone man). The ultimate plot of the story hinges around a character that was not even in this version of the story. Has poetic license reared it's misguided head, again? Are they going to change the way this epic ends? Will there even be any other episodes? As stated before, so many advancements have been made in the visual arts of video, even animation(old style). Could've given a little more care to style and motion. It doesn't have to be CGI or CA, but it does need some graphic style. It's a good story, even if you're not a Dragonlance fan. Great cast of voices, Kudos to Kiefer Sutherland, Michael Rosenbaum, Lucy Lawless, Michelle Trachtenberg, Jason Marsden, and all the rest. But, don't expect too much. Not exactly a milestone in movie making. MJS
Tipping the Velvet (2002)
Recommended, Wholeheatedly
This was recommended to me by a friend that said it was cute and cuddly for a "lesbian sexuality Flick". Boy was he wrong. I guess he just didn't get it. Growing up not understanding and then discovering yourself thru trial and tribulation is more like it.
The characters are full and vibrant and the story has enough fun thrown in thru the theater performances to keep anyone interested.
Rachael Stirling as "Nan" goes thru so many tries at finding the love she desires only to find it was the one person she was scared to reveal all too, and ran out on. Johdi May as "Flo" was remarkable. spent a couple hours trying to recall where I've seen her before, only to discover she was The quiet sister "Alice" in "Last of The Mohicans" Luckily,I was raised in a liberal family and had no issues with trying a movie like this. So many people are missing out on flicks like this. I'm glad I took my friend's advise and tried it. But, I'm sure I enjoyed it more the he.
