"What turns the frog into a prince? If you say the princess’s kiss you have been misinformed. Read what the story says: “She picked him up and she threw him against the wall as hard as she could, ‘Now will you be satisfied you nasty frog?’ As he fell to the ground he was no longer a frog but a prince with kind and beautiful eyes.” “It makes no sense!” complained Maurice Sendak. He refused to believe it. I had the happiness of translating the stories in The Juniper Tree and Other Tales for Grimm for Sendak’s illustrations."

Jingled all the way
An alternate take on the classic Christmas movie "Jingle all the way" throws two neighbours who are on opposite sides of the same coin, one who wants to be friends and the other a little scrooge-esque who doesn't.

It's almost Christmas, a little girl wants the the most sought after pink pony toy around and dad refused to pay the Instore price and his neighbour knows where to get one.
This revelation leads the unlikely duo on an going on an oddball journey - thieves, low speed car chase and a hobo santa are all part of a day's work...

Starring Stephen Merchant & Asim Chaudhry

Seeing this film is something you have to prepare for, it clocks in at just under 3 hours. You also have to be aware that it's a Malick film, and the dude does whatever he wants.
First, Austria is beautiful, the cinematography, scenery, everything, was gorgeous. I think that there were more scenes of nature, than the actors themselves. It's a long, rollicking journey through the simple story of a man who refused to swear an oath to Hitler in 1943.
Franz's journey was deeply religious and philosophical.
I really enjoyed the entire film, and it was worth almost 3 hours of my life, simply because of the beauty of it. It won't be everyone's thing.
