Dice, what was she saying? I was curious myself.

A lot of what you'd expect from Gypsy-stereotype. x) 
"Wood here, water here, beds here, I'll come for the money tomorrow", and she complains about the dog a lot.  iirc she said bad things about Sid a lot in that second scene he was in.

One of the coolest scenes in that movie is that one single shot when Kee is seperated from Theo; it's almost a ten minute scene doen in one long, long shot, from outside to people getting shot, to going into the building, and till he reunites with Kee again on like the third floor of the building.

The DVD commentary (back when I owned it) said it took them three tries to nail it and they had to digitally remove the blood splatter that hits the camera digitally (and that happened like 2 minutes into the sequence).

The cinematography is one if the things that drew me in, it's simply such a wonderfully shot film. And yes, Michael Caine was awesome!!

I just saw Tangled for the first time. Really enjoyed it, certainly more than I was expecting. The mother also really gave me a GLaDOS vibe, which was awesome. I can't say I enjoyed the ending but overall it was a great movie.

Code:

I dont know, Rapunzel seemed to love the witch for most of the movie even though she was pretty sarcastic. The fact she didn't even seem bummed out that her "mother" of 18 years just died seemed off for some reason.

The movie has got me in the mood to watch Brave, another movie I have never seen before. From the ads that used to be on I don't think The princess and the Frog would be my cup of tea.

I think for the length of Disney flicks (and the budget of Tangled.....70% of which probably went into animating her hair and dress to fall gracefully), doting on the evil mother even if for legitimate means would have been tricky to do.

I love Flynn though.  Funny, amusing, and also the first Disney lead with facial hair!  The horse too.

Brave is a bit of a mixed bag.  It IS impressive, but I got too much of that 90's Disney vibe with the classic "misunderstanding" and "magical curses" (especially the one seen in that movie) are played out pretty predictably.  A shame since the movie had just about everything else going for it.

Princess in the Frog is charming enough.  I do love the jazz-oriented music and the setting.  The villain is almost 90% pointless and transparent, but the animation and performances are damn near flawless.... but I guess, competing with computer CGI-animated films, it has to be.

The whole movie is excellent. I like the uber-British guy talking about the David statue. He something in the thickest of accents like "couldn't get to it in time ruddy buggers nicked his leg!"

That scene is really neat to a Pink Floyd fan as well, right outside his window it looks like Battersea Power Station and there is a pig hovering over it. I was like wow, check it out!, LOL

Finally saw Looper.  Enjoyed it, but I have to say that I'm not sure how they thought we'd believe the kid who's in it was 10.  I'm bad with ages, but even I could tell he was only 6 or so.
