Return to Never Land (2002)
Sort of a return to the 1952 classic.
I went to see "Return to Neverland" as a curious adult who had seen the original "Peter Pan" when it was released in 1952. This movie was loyal in some aspects to the original with some nostalgic references. The modernization of the mood and some frightening twists distracted from the charm that could have been prevalent. "Peter Pan" was a special movie that stays with you through adulthood; "Return.." is okay, but probably will not stand out from the normal animated films of the past few years. Worth seeing for children and reminiscing adults
Gosford Park (2001)
Well made but hard to follow and to maintain interest
Gosford Park has the look and feel of a well made movie. However, I was disappointed in that it is very difficult to follow with the heavy British accents, low speaking dialog, and many numerous small part characters. Refreshing and pleasant, but not a movie I would recommended going out of your way for.
