merely talk

I went to see this freaky and awesome movie tonight at the metro. It was called Mirrormask and comes from the nutter mind of one Neil Gaimen. It was partly animated, partly not and totally grand.

The tale, in brief, is of a young girl who is a pretty funky artist, who one night awakens in her art work instead of her bed and must travel throughout the two cities she created to find a way to make it back into her real world. It was one of the most stunningly beautiful movies I'd ever seen and I have a feeling that even if I watched it a million times I still would see something new with each viewing. In the background there was so much going on, fish flying through the air, cat like creatures with wings, swirls of colour and a lot of play between darkness and light.

So if you get the chance to see this small film you should go. I recommend it and my recommendations are usually very good, unless you're a customer at my store and you annoy me. Then I'll tell you to read the Da Vinci Code.
