Aaaaaaaanyway, I saw Coraline with a few friends and liked it. But, then again, I agree with Kagus about the feel of the whole movie. I
suck at scary movies. I'm terrible. If there's someone with me, I try and keep out of their line of sight so they don't seem me squirm or close my eyes. But the only thing in this movie I found genuinely scary (and even then not 'hide behind the couch' scary) was the part where the
Beldam was slamming against the door, getting closer all the time, screaming all the while.
. All the other scares I could predict before they happened (the taffy scene, for instance), and yet it was definitely something that would freak the hell out of my kid brother. I liked the movie, liked the acting, like the imagination, like the characterization,
kinda sorta maybe liked that scene in the theater (oh God the breasts, the only thing that made
that bearable was that it was Dawn French playing the part and she is hilarious) liked all that, but if the movie had just taken one path and stuck with it I feel like I would have enjoyed it more. Oh, but Bobinskey and the Cat were both crafted by a benevolent god out of pure awesome.
