ramble through the bronx
yes, this here is ramble through the bronx, the continuing musings of a graduate student* who should be writing her dissertation, but honestly, living in new york city there's really so much else to do...* and her commenting friends. And guest blogger.

Mirrormask -- I can't wait, can you?

Review of Mirrormask here.
looks good!
OK, a couple of new reviews, via Neil Gaiman's blog --
This one is breathlessly excited about the film.
This one sounds a little more jaded, though it still likes the film.
I like the breathless excitement one... "Frankly, I'm not a good enough writer to adequately describe all the wild magic that Gaiman and McKean have concocted here. Suffice to say that MirrorMask had me wide-eyed and practically hypnotized...kinda like we all were the first time we saw The Wizard of Oz. It's a movie that will undoubtedly have many viewers scratching their heads in disbelief, because MirrorMask is as bizarre as it is beautiful. Essentially we're talking about a film that's bound to become an "acquired taste" - which in movie terminology means "cult classic." Personally, I cannot wait to get a copy of the DVD and dissect the thing bit by bit. I only hope that many of you end up feeling the same way."
That sounds close to how I feel about Neil Gaiman's writing.
Anyway, can't wait to see it...!
