Kiki's delivery service. 8/10
Still great fun, very charming, had my kids entertained today. Looks great on blu-ray, sound is good, restricted to stereo though. And there is a weird warble in the English voice acting, maybe it's just Kirsten Dunst's voice. Did not effect the other characters.
The wind rises. 9/10
Great story showing a lot of passion both in the characters and in the work that went in the movie. It looks amazing. And even though it's a sentimental biography it still has plenty magic Ghibli moments. Definitely want to watch it again soon, plus got me interested in reading up on the real Jiro Horikoshi.
Beyond the black rainbow. 8.5/10
Awesome film editting, color filters gone mad with a great hypnotic score to match the visuals. However wtf was going on. That was part of the fun anyway.
Stalker (1979) 8/10
3 men venture into the zone to find a room that grants your inner most desires. It's the first movie of Tarkovsky that I've seen and it's a great one. It's very good at building mystery and suspense, yet the meat of the movie is in the conversations and monologues of the main characters. During their journey they reflect on their lives, the nature of man and desire. I was hooked from start to finish despite watching on you tube in crappy 480p with my wifi cutting out 6 or 7 times during the movie.
