It was a busy cinenamotraphic weekend and it ended with a good old Disney production: The princess and the frog. Based in southern USA, this (handdrawn!) animated movie tells the story of the girl Tiana which dreams about opening the restaurant her father never managed to do. At the party of her girlfriend (who is and has everything Tiana isn't/ hasn't) she meets a frog. And what do you do when you encounter yourself with a frog? Right, you kiss it! And that basically in a few words the opening to a sweet and good return to the handdrawn movies for Disney. And it's well done may I saw so. Sure, it has it's dips, but the songs (jazz/ blues and several of them!) and the characters are interesting enough to keep the children on the edge of their seats. For parents this may be a little too shallow, but we have to rest sometimes also. :)
All in all, good entertainment, happy children and that's what it's basically all about. Enjoy it with your little ones!

My wife and I went for a night out and between "Edge of darkness" and "Sherlock Holmes" she chose the latter. And boy, did I have a bad time... I didn't like the movie. It's all greys and blacks and the story is as dull and boring as the colours. I didn't feel a chemistry between Holmes and his side-kick Watson and was just bored to tears with their ongoing jabbering and arguing. The movie is like this: bla bla bla, fist-fight, bla bla bla, fist-fight, bla bla bla, cage-fight, bla bla bla, let’s put some big explosion in it, bla bla bla, another fist-fight, bla bla bla, the end.
My rating: 4 out 10 |

Friday night we saw "Brothers", which we wanted to see for a while now. We both liked it, as the drama was put well on the screen by an excellent cast. With Natalie Portman, Tobey Maguire and Jake Gyllenhaal you can't go wrong and indeed you're pulled into their problems, feeling the twists in your heart. Strong drama!
