First off....THIS is funny.

I've actually seen some movies recently. Capsule reviews: "WALL-E" is one of the best movies I've ever seen, "Kung Fu Panda" was hilarious...
And then there's Mirrormask.
I wanted to love Mirrormask. I expected to love Mirrormask -- script by Neil Gaiman, special effects by the Henson Workshop, what's not to love?
But I was oddly disappointed. On a cynical level, I felt like I was watching "Labyrinth" with art direction by Cirque du Soliel on acid. The lead, Stephanie Leonidas, was excellent (and I feel old; Corwin thinks she's incredibly good-looking) but the rest of the performances didn't move me much. Maybe it was that I expected more from a Gaiman/Henson collaboration, but...while I'm glad I saw it, I'm not overly eager to see it again.
