9

This last weekend, Leslie and I went to watch "9" - which is an animated film, but definately not for kids. This movie is intense...and I'm in love with it. Rag dolls and a psycho machine in a post-apocalyptic world. There are no gross-out jokes, low-brow humor here, animal friends, or yet another musical number.

Just plot.

And what an awesome plot it is. Not only that, but it was executed beautifully. I really can't find any flaw or even a "gee, if they did it this way..." moment. Most movies nowadays are mindless entertainment - which isn't always bad. But this one...this one makes up for all the drivel I've seen over the past 10 years or so. I find my mind is constantly wandering back to it to pick apart all the neat things that didn't occur to me while watching.

Martin and I were thinking of going to see that - did Leslie like it?

She thought it was a good movie...probably not as much as I did, but she enjoyed it.
