You thought Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was dark and depressing? I thought it was the exact opposite: bright and humorous for the most part. Oh well.
War of the Worlds:
Like Independence Day, but better in every way and a lot more realistic. Special effects were amazing, as was the actress playing the young girl. Not many punches are pulled here, people get zapped, building are ripped apart, and not all the bad guys are from Mars.
Howl's Moving Castle:
It's an anime from Hiyao Miyazaki, that's the only reason you need to go see it really. The story bumbles along a bit at times and the ending comes too suddenly, but it has a lot of memorable moments and characters. The animation and art style are great as usual.
A Tale of Two Sisters:
A Korean fairy tale with a not so fairy tale ending. The general mood of the movie is down beat and it's clear from the start that what you see is not what's really going on. It's not really a horror movie, but it has a number of intense moments. Available at Wal-Mart for $8.88.
