Game 28: The New World (16) vs The Aristocrats (49)

Mom says,

The New World
the movie had the protential of being good... the scenery was there, the history of jamestown was there, however, it showed very little of the families settleing into jamestown and too much of the natives in constant aggression,and pocahontas in dance and being in love with smith... what did I miss?... score 4

and

The Aristocrats:
A very dirty joke it is..... thank god I have Jerry S score 1
my choice of movies was The New World

Well, they do not sound too exciting do they?

Sara Sara gives Ben what for!

Game 25: Good NIght and Good Luck (4) vs Howl's Moving Castle (61)

Cat Bus!! From My Neighbor Totoro.Upset!!! A number four seed goes down.

Game 25: Good NIght and Good Luck (4) vs Howl's Moving Castle (61)

Winner: Howl's Moving Castle (61)

Mom just did not agree with the critics on this one. If you have seen any of Hayao Miyazaki's movies you might not be surprised. "Spirited Away" is fantastic and "My Neighbor Totoro" has a rabid preschool following. His movies are unique in their ability to engender wonder.

Mom says,
Howl's Moving Castle
a wonderful animation film , Japanese in origin. Like all films from that part of the world, it is art. Wonderful colors and a good story too... score 5

and
Good NIght and Good Luck
A story told so many times it has lost its luster. George Clooney I do not like, never have, however his acting abilities have changed. This might be his best effort to date. score 3

I think only Etherpimp.com and Tony got this one. Tony!! What is this? Tony is not in last place!
