Enchanted (the trailer)

Oct 5, 2007 by Film_Trailer_Hanger

This film seems like a film in the mold of Kate & Leopold, except that instead of time travel, there is inter-dimensional travel – from a story/cartoon to modern day New York. So we see a cartoon princess in a very ‘Disney’ kind of scene being cast into a pit by a witch – and she pops up in New York. Some kind of prince charming character and the witch cross over to rescue/finish her.

Seems pretty harmless; with a light look at the modern world through the eyes of a ‘foreigner’.

Based on the trailer I would be willing to see this film; I guess I like light romances.

Eagle vs Shark

Sep 30, 2007 by Film_Hanger

Filmed in Wellington, New Zealand: Titahi Bay, Plimmerton, Manners Street Mall, and maybe more; it was fun trying to figure out where the scenes were shot. The best was the Manners Street KFC.

Despite some very serious bouts of misfit-ness. It all ends happily.

The film is a little close to home, for most people; that might explain why there was less laughter during the movie. Most people have had bouts of misfit-ness, so some of the funnier scenes are tinged with ‘cringe’. American Pie this film is most definitely not – and a good thing too.
