September 24 movie: Corpse Bride. Best. Movie. Ever. It was fun, funny, touching, and completely put me in the mood for Halloween. I think my favorite character was the maggot who imitated Peter Lorre. We saw a couple of great trailers too, for a Wallace and Grommit movie and the next Harry Potter. Both look fantastic.
We also saw a trailer for a movie that looks like a complete knockoff of Jumanji, and in fact the trailer said it was "from the world of Jumanji" or something like that. Well I saw Jumanji already, and didn't enjoy it the first time, why would I want to see it again with space aliens instead of animals?
I'm afraid that the Wallace & Gromit movie will make you eat that "Best. Movie. Ever" with cheese on a nice cracker. I saw half of an early cut over a year ago (before they'd finished the CGI -- yes, there is CGI in there), and even that was enough to make it one of the funniest three films I've ever seen.
If the trailer you saw was the "...will chill you to the marrow" one, I wrote that.
I'll gladly eat those words if they come with a nice Wensleydale!
The trailer we saw didn't include "chill you to the marrow," but it was so funny we laughed out loud several times. It sounded like it had been written for the US market: it started with clips from Chicken Run and explained who Wallace and Grommit were.
