Whimsical
Reminiscent of Childhood
Not My Favorite
This is an adorable tale about two young sisters and their father moving into a new home. This place is a bit of a fixer upper but the whimsical and magical little house makes the whole place seem alive. The whole film is very memorable of a childhood filled with adventures through the woods and dreams of meeting strange new creatures. Although not one of my favorites of the Studio Ghibli films it still holds it own within the collection.

I lover Jennifer!
I have had a crush on Jennifer Connelly for 30 years. She still looks great and has chosen many great roles over her career.

She is fantastic in this film about an unmotivated woman who gets tossed from her family home and then starts a conflict with the new owners because she feels they have unlawfully taken her home from her.

She befriends a deputy who decides to assist her in harassing the new owners until their conflict comes to a head.

Ben Kingsley and Shohreh Aghdashloo are also very good as the new homeowners who just want to be left alone.

The tense final half of the film is well worth the slightly slow moving first act.

Highly recommended.

I didn't know much about this film before I saw it but heard critics and fans a like giving great reviews about it. A father and former part of the military police goes in search of his son who has gone AWOL after returning home from Iraq.
This is a great film, with a very good cast giving great performances especially Tommy Lee Jones and Charlize Theron. It touches on quite a few political views about the army and war in Iraq and the effects it can have. A truly moving film based on true events.
