See This: Coraline

I just watched Coraline last night.  Henry Selick is a genius.  I feel like I need to see the movie a few more times just to soak it all in.  Everything about the movie is other worldly.  The soundtrack is so eerie and chilling, the stop-motion is beautiful, the 3D is almost too real, and the plot is so incredibly dark for a children's movie.  In fact, I think the 'moral of the story' might be targeted toward inattentive parents.  

You have to see this film.  More movies like this one should be made.  I could watch this one with the sound off it is so beautiful.  The terror this child lives through is unimaginable, but yet, I envied her.  My friend Mikey envied her.  He wants to live in the 3D world, I want to live in a place with such eccentric neighbors, grand adventures, and beautiful colors.  You absolutely will not be disappointed you saw this one, I can guarantee it.
