I finally got around to seeing Coraline today! Probably the most perfect movie for February 14th. Based on an Alice and Wonderland-esc British novel published back in 2002.
The main character finds a door leading to a mirror world where colorful characters and spectacular things contrast the gloomy, rainy, and boring home. The style is reminiscent of Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride; it greatly compliments the substyles of the movie: dolls, thread, and overly absurd creations.
The movie will best find the favor of those with an affinity for overactive imaginations and parallels, but its somewhat basic story and relatively flat characters will most likely bore those going to the movies for story. I personally found it to be a movie worth buying once it comes out to video.
