Japanese import cute as anything, even with Dudley Moore narrating. Amazing technical skill involved in 4-year project. Hope animals safe…

#140RVW - 140 character reviews
140 character review: When I started this site that’s all I did – movie reviews that could fit on Twitter. With the exception of a few short blasts, everything since 2014 has been a full-size review, and I've gone back to expand on some of the earlier reviews. If they're here, I haven't updated them yet...
#140RVW: Pay It Forward (2000)
Positively Gumpian levels of mawkish pandering. Beyond insufferable. Rides coattails of Oscar noms into nauseating Jerry Maguire territory.

#140RVW: The Polar Express (2004)
Fairly good realization of great book. Problems: animation creepy, feels like amusement park ride, animation creepy. Yes, bears repeating…

#140RVW: Scrooged (1988)
Reportedly this was originally MUCH darker. Would have loved to see that. As it is, this is a Murray & holiday classic, with brilliant cast.

#140RVW: The Ref (1994)
One of top holiday movies for adults. Perfect vehicle for Leary’s biting humor. Spacey & Davis bicker wonderfully in late Demme’s best gift.
