Serenidad y La Novia Cadáver
If you saw the series Firefly, and haven't yet seen Serenity, shame on you. Repent now and go and watch it. It is a must. Because it continues the storyline, if nothing else. To be honest, I'm kinda disappointed, because the series was so well done, and so well set up with so many supporting characters and bad guys that it had the potential for a good two seasons, maybe three. But it seems that with the cancelling of the show, Joss figured: "Well, might as well wrap the story up for closures sake." I dunno. I mean, I can't really blame him, since it's unlikely that the show will ever get picked up again. Ah, well.
Corpse Bride really surprised me. I wasn't really sure to expect, since it had been forever since I'd seen The Nightmare Before Christmas, but it looked good and I'd heard good things. After watching it I felt that it was a great movie. The villain was a just a tad underdeveloped and a little too cliche, but other than that, everything was very well done and quite artistic. I found especially interesting the fact that the world of the living was rather monotone, while the land of the dead was much more colorful. And the ending, while considered bittersweet, I found rather... beautiful. I can't think of how else to describe it. Ambiguous, maybe, but still beautiful.
For now, there's not much that really catches my eye that I can't wait for the dollar theater, expect, of course, for the Chronicles of Narnia. I cannot freaking WAIT for that movie to come out.
Well, it's gettin' late and I got an early class tomorrow. We'll see if I can't get this blog up and running to a post a week! Later.

Mmm pretty Spanish.
You're right, "Firefly" is unlikely to ever get picked up again, as Fox has the rights to it for the next 10 or so years. However, and I know I've said this a billion times, if the movie does well, we're looking at a possible trilogy. So far it's doing extremely well, coming in this weekend at $30 mil on the domestic box office front. w00t w00t.
I was a little disappointed with the movie as well, but you gotta remember that it had to be a little ...less awesome because the majority of people haven't seen "Firefly." Ignorant fools.
Anyway, I don't know what to say anymore. I did not like the show the first time, but after I saw it again I really enjoyed it. That's usually how it is with me. I gotta see movies twice to appreciate them.
As far as "Corpse Bride," I enjoyed the movie, but it was not Tim Burton at his best. The music was amazing, though, and I'm still pining to learn Victor's song. I thought the movie was very predictable and cliche, but maybe that's because I've read the fable before. That's all right. It was a good movie, and poser-goths every where are rejoicing that they now have something besides Nightmare Before Christmas to parade around.
And I'm only half joking.
(I'm excited for Narnia too, w00t w00t!)
