Movie is a definite disimprovement on the series. Where is Mandy Patinkin? And why is Keitha from Flight of the Conchords playing Daisy?
Grr.

Michael Dwyer
So sad to hear of the death of Michael Dwyer.
I believe that we, in Ireland, owe Michael a deep debt of gratitude for founding the wonderful Jameson Dublin International International Film Festival and his tireless love of film as an art form. I didn’t know Michael well, but any time I met him at screenings or at JDIFF he was polite, gentlemanly and always willing to have a chat. As well as this, he went out of his way to encourage me in my developing career as a film journalist.
Best wishes Michael. Thank you. Hope the popcorn is hot and the movies are wondrous where you are.
My sympathies to Michael’s family, friends and colleagues.

An absolute classic. Zemeckis needs to get back to this kind of movie and forget the mo-cap stuff.

A work of art alright. Something to which motion capture will never come close. Anyway, what’s the point in mo-cap when there are movies like this? The animation in mo-cap is not as good. Ya hear that Zemekis?
