Bolt (2008)
the 48th film in Disney’s animated canon, from their CG-only era that filled most of the ’00s. It’s a period already remembered as When Disney Lost Its Way... Things are looking up — it’s been followed by The Princess and the Frog — but it may be Bolt that comes to be seen as the true turning point, because it’s actually rather good.
Lupin the Third: The Castle of Cagliostro (1979)
Steven Spielberg reportedly called it “one of the greatest adventure movies of all time”, and I’m inclined to agree. For starters, the action sequences are brilliant — exciting, inventive and varied. I don’t know if Spielberg saw this before tackling any of the Indiana Joneses, but you can feel the tonal connection.
I also had a little ponder about star ratings, which can be read here. Plus you can read my review of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (at that link) from midnight tonight.
More next Sunday.
