Movie Roundup for May 11, 2009
Grave of Fireflies – Children struggle to survive in WWII era Japan. Wanted to hate it, wanted to dismiss the inevitable tragedies, but in the end I couldn’t do it. The ending got to me a bit. Not fantastic, but good.
Star Trek: The Motion Picture Director’s Cut – Instead of going to see the new Star Trek movie, I’m going through the old ones again. The first movie is great in its director’s cut form. At some point I’ll have to watch the original theatrical version, just to really appreciate how much the director’s cut tightens things up. Wonderful soundtrack. Just don’t watch it late at night – not exactly the most action packed of movies.
