The Ventriloquist
I am not going to deny the fact that I don't like those things. I have had a very intense dislike for them since I was a kid because of that episode of
The Twilight Zone. And wouldn't you know my brother owned a Charlie McCarthy?!
It is all so creepy. Life was a little hard in the house sometimes with that kind of stuff laying around (or being shown on TV!). Anyway, nevertheless, I still liked the film. Felt kind of bad for Kevin Spacey's character, but at least that freaky thing is gone for him to finally grow up, I suppose. But where did he go? You see, it is kind of a horrible thought to think he is roaming somewhere.
Kind of like thinking about Mr. Marples (Seinfeld fans know what I mean) running around. Just terrible to me.
Envelope
I really liked this one, but this was a downer for me. There was some good humor and I liked the story. But in the end, I felt it was a little bit depressing. I think I may have liked it better than the first one that I watched, though.
The Cameraman's Revenge
I saw this quite awhile ago. I never had any intention of watching it again because I actually think it is kind of disgusting.
But I watched it and I still had the same impression that I did the last time. The animation is really good. There really is some nice fluidity to the movements of the insects. Very human-like. I do get a kick out of the story. But I think the thing I like the best about it is the little movie screen that they are watching with the movie on it. It is a pretty good piece of film-making (even if using dead insects is disgusting to me
).
