So after September's rather icky batch of movies, we're finally getting some good ones. The Corpse Bride opened today, i plan to see it tomorrow night. Then on Friday, both Mirrormask (the Neil Gaiman penned film done with the Henson Creature Shop) and SERENITY. I swear I've been waiting forever for this movie. Here's the synopsis:
Joss Whedon, the Oscar® - and Emmy - nominated writer/director responsible for the worldwide television phenomena of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE, ANGEL and FIREFLY, now applies his trademark compassion and wit to a small band of galactic outcasts 500 years in the future in his feature film directorial debut, Serenity. The film centers around Captain Malcolm Reynolds, a hardened veteran (on the losing side) of a galactic civil war, who now ekes out a living pulling off small crimes and transport-for-hire aboard his ship, Serenity. He leads a small, eclectic crew who are the closest thing he has left to family –squabbling, insubordinate and undyingly loyal.
I think he was nominated for Toy Story for the Oscar, and I know the Emmy was writing a few eps of Buffy, it never got any of the major awards. Anyway, the website is here if you want to take a look at it. I was on the browncoats thing a long while ago, it was sort of a holding ground on the internet to motivate fans into a salivating army. I think it must have worked though I never recruited enough people to win a free poster. I think I only got Will to join.
Anyway, I'll see the movie Monday if everything pans out and write my review. I really hope I love it or it will be a very sad review.
