Left the wards really early today and watched Mirrormask. The visuals were dark and gorgeous. Stephanie Leonidas as Helena was really good, I felt; so was Jason Barry as Valentine. Sadly, the plot seemed rather thin. The pacing for most of it was two slow, and the ending was too abrupt. I had no problems with this when reading the book; I now understand why some reviewers have said that this movie would’ve worked better as a graphic novel. I hated the soundtrack as well, ugly music that didn’t really fit the visuals.
hey. *haha* yeah i agree about it being better as a graphic novel. I did like the music though…. *lol*
as for emerald hill, i like that place, though at ngiht it’s really rather creepy. My primary school was there, so i used to walk past it every day. it is rather nice no? *grin*
i got cheated into facials before too~ it takes a hell lot of energy to refuse future services. after that i just decided not to go for anymore facials~ they’re money grabbers!!
