The Flick Filospher says that the animators actually transformed Steven Tyler into an elf--"it's something that should only be attempted in a horror film."
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I saw a recent ad for Polar Express. It was one of those ads where they quote good reviews but they put the names of the critics and their papers/stations in tiny print.
The preview looks really bad to me....

They showed a clip from the movie during Gilmore Girls last night. It was awful. Not only did all the characters look totally freaky, but they must have hired the cheapest composer in Hollywood. The song sucked, and Tom Hanks cannot sing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't like movie technology that makes it possible for Tom Hanks to be lead and supporting actor.
They need to warm me up to it with, say, Johnny Depp.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Seen 'em all, own several. Just saw Stage Beauty, by the way. Despite some terrific dialogue and Billy Crudup's mesmerizing performance, it didn't quite work for me. It felt about an hour longer than it actually was, never a good thing.
Still, a shirtless Billy Crudup and Ben Chaplin making out? Extremely, um, diverting.

If she'd said the movie was good, I'd've headed to the theatre. For diversions that sound well-suited to rewind, I head to Netflix.

I think it would make a great rental. The odd looseness of the structure wouldn't matter at home where you can stop it if you need a break.
Plus a couple of scenes definitely bear a rewatch.

P-C, you should see The Third Man. One of the more delightfully cynical movies of its day.
