The Brothers Warner
Told from the insider’s perspective of Harry Warner’s granddaughter Cass Warner, comes a slightly Michael Moore-esque look at the establishment of the Warner empire in Hollywood.
Alice in Wonderland (BBC)
A surreal experience that is both a beautiful and somewhat frustrating. And that’s saying something for a story that is rooted in the strange and absurd.
Old Dogs
Despite showing some potential as commentary on ageism, the light-hearted comedy often flounders in the formulaic and a premise that is more complicated than it needed to be.
Kiki’s Delivery Service
An excellent alternative to much of the frenetic, princess-driven fare that seems to dominate the genre.
Ponyo
Beautiful and thoughtful, Miyazaki once again shows he’s a master of taking the magical and making it endearing.
Emma (BBC)
Although overly long, this mini-series offers an intelligent, albeit light-hearted look at love and longing.
