A great movie. The animation is wonderful. Dory is the most fun character in this movie. Too bad that I didn't watch it in the theatre.

My Thoughts:

It's been a long week (considering it's only Wednesday!) for me and an even longer day at work today and I came home beat. I was reclining in my chair after dinner, feeling sleepy but I decided to put in this movie and watch a little bit before I would inevitably doze off. Didn't happen.   :tv:

What an excellent movie! I was completely fascinated by this true story about a group of women P.O.W.'s in a Japanese prison camp during WWII. An outstanding cast led by Glenn Close and including Frances McDormand, Julianna Margulies and Cate Blanchett, these remarkable women persevered and kept themselves alive largely through the spirit of song. Many of the women and children died due to the deplorable treatment by their captors who believed women to be inferior but a core group of them beat the odds.

A must watch!  :clap:

Angel Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd


Angel: Season 4

21. Peace Out
Original Air Date: 4/30/2003


Guest Stars:
Gina Torres
Stephanie Romanov
Robert Towers

My Thoughts:
Another good episode. Though not quite as good as the previous one. This is the final episode of Jasmine. Kind of weird seeing the "big bad" being taken care of an episode before the season finale. But if I remember right Buffy the Vampire Slayer did this same thing one season also.

My Rating:
