Whisper of the Heart, a review by dfmorganMOVIE / DVD INFO: Title: Whisper of the Heart Original Title: Mimi wo Sumaseba Year: 1995 Director: Yoshifumi Kondo Rating: G Length: 111 Min. Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 1.85:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 5.1, Japanese: Dolby Digital: 5.1 Subtitles: English Stars: Youko Honna Kazuo Takahashi Takashi Tachibana Shigeru Muroi Plot:Extras: Scene Access Feature Trailers Bonus Trailers Featurettes Storyboard Comparisons Closed Captioned My Thoughts: I had forgotten what a gloriously gentle romance this film was until I rewatched it this afternoon. Whilst Hayao Miyazaki produced and wrote the screenplay for this there are aspects that show that he didn't have a hand in the drawing, the main one being the wind and its effects. In this film the wind does ripple the characters clothing and hair but only on few occasions did it cause ripples in the background trees, grasses, flowers or waters. However that does not detract from the fact that I think this is a wonderful film. The film starts with A wonderful 5 from me (From dfmorgan's Studio Ghibli Marathon on July 21st, 2010) He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: The Beginning, a review by TomTitle: He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: The Beginning Year: 2002 Director: Gary Hartle Rating: NR Length: 76 Min. Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 1.78 Audio: English: Dolby Digital Stereo, Commentary: Dolby Digital Stereo Subtitles: Stars: Cam Clarke Kathleen Barr Lisa Ann Beley Garry Chalk Brian Dobson Plot: Years ago, two leaders battled for Eternia, a fatastical land where compassion struggles against greed. Where one became the good King Randor, the other grew into the monster Skeletor who plans to rise once again and take Eternia. To protect the kingdom, the mystical powers of Castle Greyskull chose a hero - Randor's lazy, impulsive teenaged son Adam. Although a little relucant to take on a new secret idenity, Adam may not mind the name He-man if it can help his father. My Thoughts: After watching the 80s motion picture, I wanted to rewatch a decent He-Man movie. These are the first three episodes of the series, which originally aired as one pilot movie. This movie tells the origin story of He-Man, something we never got in the original Filmation series. It is a great introduction to all the characters. And you already see, that the makers know their stuff. One thing is needing to get used to when you know the original series: Seems that gravity on Eternia is different, as everybody seems to be able to jump real high. This lead to a fun video clip I found once, where they put He-Man footage to the Gummibears theme song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nR6GRrXuNc Rating: (From Tom's Random Reviews on June 11th, 2009) Angel Marathon, a review by addicted2dvdAngel: Season 5 17.

I liked how they did the hell dimension that the Senior Partners sent Lindsey to. My Rating: (From Angel Marathon on March 24th, 2010) |
