I Could Never Be Your Woman (2007)
Delivers
Romantic comedy, and it is. Nothing really special, just a straight-up feel-good movie with some humor, love and twists. Acting is decent with a good mother - daughter bond. Plot isn't particularly refreshing or hard, standard ingredients like love relationships, some funny characters, twists and of course a 'bitch' to hate. All in all, I was expecting a typical 'women'-movie (no offence) but it was enjoyable to watch, even got a few laughs. So give it a shot, if only to see Michelle Pfeiffer set new standards for middle-aged beauty.
Nice rental if you're alone or with your partner, don't rent it if you're with the guys though. There are other genres for that ;)
Corpse Bride (2005)
Properly amazed and just blown away
I wasn't really excited about seeing this movie but my friend rented it and I could borrow it. Seen quite a few movies from Tim Burton now so I thought it couldn't be that bad. And indeed it wasn't. The movie starts rather slow (not King Kong-slow so don't worry ;) ) but keeps a very nice pace. Normally I stop a movie once to get some drinks but I just couldn't stop it. I was hooked by the beautiful story along with the truly awesome animations. It captivated me in a way I've not felt for a long time (well not that long, but justs sounds better), I can't put my finger on it but the movie just works, and that's what movies should do and directors should be able to accomplish. Corpse Bride is really a fine example of Burton's talent and I'm so glad I didn't ignore it and neither should you (you probably won't find a cure for cancer anyways in those 90 minutes you'd lose if you don't like it after all).
Totally off-topic: In my opinion the corpse bride is quite hot really, in an animated slightly morbid way... But still.
