I watched Arrietty and Home Alone 2 last night so a bit of weird one for me as I'd usually settle down to something more horrific
Arrietty is beautiful as you'd expect a Ghibli film to be, we watched in English because I was too tired and wanted to concentrate on the animation - I was pleasantly surprised to find the voice cast was British rather than 'Hollywood' like on all other Ghibli dubs. It's just a shame that the actual story was too plain for me - since it was based on a childrens book (The Borrowers) it didn't really have the Ghibli subtext and themes that you'd usually find. Some outstanding set pieces and scenes - but a boring story!
I've seen Home Alone 2 before, you all have - it's great.
Kevin McCallister: Howdy do. This is Peter McCallister, the father. I'd like a hotel room please, with an extra large bed, a TV, and one of those little refrigerators you have to open with a key. Credit card? You got it.
Cedrick the Bellman: Do you know how the TV works?
Kevin McCallister: I'm 10-years-old. TV is my life.
