Face Value:Where Actors And Effects Begin
Posted on | January 16, 2010 | 2 Comments
Listen to Bob Mondello (a film critic) and Michele Norris (interviewer on NPR) discuss who deserves the Oscar for best actor here. Is it the actor or the computer animators who digitialise the character? I think it’s hard to choose because they are all doing alot of work.

From the New York Times: Unleashing Life’s Wild Things
Posted on | November 11, 2009 | Add Comments
This article from Sunday’s New York Times is about kid’s movies that are kind of scary and may be good for adults as well. The movies they talk about are The Wizard of Oz, Edward Scissorhands, Coraline, Where the Wild Things, Tim Burton’s upcoming Alice in Wonderland and Fantastic Mr. Fox.
I like this article beacuse it talks about some of the movies that I like and I have seen. I have not yet seen Edward Scissorhands, Fantastic Mr. Fox, or Alice in Wonderland.
Looking forward to the Fox!

I can’t wait for the movie, Fantastic Mr. Fox directed by Wes Anderson. I think it is cool to know how they made the film using miniatures. Read the article in today’s New York Times Arts & Leisure section; Animal Wrangling in Miniature to learn more about how Wes Anderson adapted Roald Dahl’s book for the movie opening, November 13, 2009.
See trailers and learn more about Roald Dahl on the Apple website.
