I pulled a muscle in my back today, so I decided to watch a movie since I couldn't move.
What a beautifully-sad movie! It was fantastically done and that trick from the beginning (I won't mention it) really threw me for a loop.
I've seen a trend in a few movies that I've watched. The bad guys are the ones who spoil the peace processes between India and Pakistan or have set prejudices against the other, etc. The 'heroes' are always the ones that overcome the boundaries that are there. Now, I obviously can't comment on the attitudes of young people in India and Pakistan, but I imagine that the presence of these sentiments in the movies reflect the ideals of most people, otherwise they wouldn't threaten their blockbuster by putting that in there. It would be nice to see a new generation that can bring peace.
But those are hardly ever the ones in power, are they?
Anyway, I highly, highly recommend this movie. The story was fantastic, the songs were beautiful and not obnoxious and it was just a wonderful movie. In a happy/sad sort of way :)
This is going on my list of favourites. It is one of those that can be classified as a new classic, if that makes sense.
Chalte Chalte
Now, it doesn't really seem to stack up after watching Veer-Zaara, but this was a cute movie. It was fun to watch and a cute, feel-good romance. Don't really let that put you off, because, overall that may have been what it can be described as, it also has a lot of real-life elements. That is what the story is about in fact, the inside and result of a 'perfect' fairy-tale like love story. Where there is love, there is pain I guess.
It isn't overly sappy, and isn't overly emotional (like Devdas, or Kal Ho Naa Ho, or even Veer Zaara), so it is one that can be watched anytime and many times. In my opinion :)
Don't let it fool you, I wouldn't really describe this as a totally Shahrukh Khan centered movie. I felt the movie revolved a bit more around the love stories of the other three characters. And while SRK does look good in glasses (specsy is the term), looks like a fool playing the violin, and does a bit of crazy halluncinating, he plays the role of the facillitator more so than a traditional main character.
The movie wouldn't make my top 5, but hey, as you can probably tell, there are very few movies that I don't like (apparently I'm the only one in the world who didn't like Dil Se though...) so I'm keeping this one in my regular watching line up :)
However, Veer-Zaara is still the only movie I've seen so far where Amitabh Bachchan doesn't play a total douche only redeemed at the end in an awe inspiring feat of forgiveness that he probably doesn't deserve...
It'll be sad when I find a job and don't have as much time to watch all these movies...
I e-mailed my friend who was obsessed with bollywood before I even saw one and she is full of information and recommendations (and dvds I can borrow!), so I'm excited about that. I also met a girl at my buddhist meeting who is interested in getting addicted to bollywood (she currently watches Indian soap operas because her brother-in-law is Indian and gets the channels, she hasn't seen many movies though), so that'll be fun as well :)
Anyway, sitting here typing is hurting my back. I hate when this happens.

Fantastic movie! I ordered it from my mom's netflix account because I've been wanting to see it. I had no idea it was rated NC-17, lol. She told me to watch it first to tell her if she would like it :P I may just have her order the R version if she wants to see it. I dont' imagine she would like the graphic sex scenes. Other than that, I thought that it was a fantastic film, definitely high quality which is a shame that I'm sure people will pass it up because of the higher rating.
I really enjoyed the entire story line. I love seeing WWII era Shanghai and Hong Kong, aside from the depressing occupation part. I just find all the movies that are about that time so interesting. I definitely recommend the movie, even if you get the R version and skip the graphic bits, it is still a great movie and great story.
It's been a long time since I've watched a Chinese film and just hearing the language at the very beginning made me miss China so much and really made me want to get back into the language. Ah, so sad.
Anyway, the ending was typical Chinese. Very sad :(
So, yea, I've become sort of obsessed with Bollywood, as I'm sure you all know by now. I haven't done any reviews of movies (hardly) since I know no one is interested. But, just because, I'll do them here. The bollywood movies that I've seen since I became obsessed (what? 2 weeks ago? Sad, I know). The reviews are super short, just what I thought of the movies, not a description, if you are actually interested, you can follow the links). This is sort of for myself :) The first few are my favourites, going down on my list, but really, no particular order
Maybe because this was the first one that I watched (whoops, after Kandukondain Kandukondain), but this is my absolute favourite so far. The storyline is wonderful, the music is absolutely fantastic, and I bawled like a baby at the end. Everything about this was great. I think this was a great one to start with, not only because everything about it was fantastic, but it took place in NYC and kind of eases you into bollywood. I recommend this movie to everyone, whether they think they like bollywood or not. It is fantastic in and of itself.
Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham:
This would probably go up on the list of my favourites right under Kal Ho Naa Ho. This movie was fantastic. It had the right amount of everything you would want in a movie! The songs were fantastic too. I really, really, really liked this movie. Shahrukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan :) Highly recommended!
And its a damn good thing it was good, because I spent hours translating half the subtitles from french!!
This was a great movie, I wouldn't call it bollywood, it didn't have any music or dance numbers or costumes or anything. Think...an Indian version of Mighty Ducks, on a field and a girls team...and Shahrukh Khan hotness. A nice feel good movie :)
Om Shanti Om:
This movie was ridiculous. It was fantastic though, once it gets passed the ridiculousness. And hey, how can you go wrong with King Khan? (see a pattern? Trust me, this is just the beginning of the SRK movies). I would recommend this movie, it was fun and had some great songs.
Dhoom 2
Oh man, this movie was so much fun!! It's an action movie, definitely not like the others that I've watched. Tons of fun to watch though, I really enjoyed it! It is the second (obviously), but you couldn't tell, I never saw the first one and it didn't matter. This was great. I actually liked the music too, for the most part. That stupid 'My name is Ali', which is the dumbest song about the dumbest character friggin got stuck in my head for DAYS. And damn, now it is there again!
Main Hoon Na
Oh man, I just watched this movie today (which led to me creating this list), it was great! A lot of fun, and oh man, how hot is SRK as an army guy? Mmmm, jumping around and being all bad ass. Wonderful.
Kandukondain Kandukondain:
Jane Austen! I thought this movie was a lot of fun. More of a stereotypical bollywood (except it is 'kollywood' i.e.Tamil) with the insane dance numbers, bright costumes and 27 costume changes in one song. I thought the songs were great though and everything was pretty to watch. I tried to get my sister to watch it and she detested it. To be far, I don't think she gave it a chance, but it unfortunately turned her against watching any other ones even though nothing else I've seen is like this one. Oh well. Her loss.
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
I actually started out not liking the first part of this. It was SO early 90's it made you want to die. But, I thought, hey, someone dies in the first 30 seconds of the movie, it has to get better! I'm glad I stuck with it. It was really cute towards the end :) It grew on me. Ah, SRK, you are such a dream, lol.
Dil Chahta Hai:
I enjoyed this movie. It wasn't fast paced or anything, but followed the lives of 3 friends that diverge and then come back together. It was a good movie. It wasn't exciting or anything, more like a regular movie about real people. I'd watch it again.
Aishwarya Rai AND Shahrukh Khan! Perfect couple. This movie is fantastic if you want to spend the rest of the day hating life. Okay, so Kal Ho Naa Ho was sad, but in an almost uplifting, reassess your life kind of way. This one? Like, pit of despair, hate the world and everything in it sort of movie. It was a great movie, well made, pretty costumes though. You just really have to be in the right (dark) mood.
The really know how to do tragedy, don't they? I actually wasn't a huge fan of this movie. I sort of wonder where the good reviews come from, but when you watch it, you know that it is one of those that sort of has to get good reviews. We have those kinds of movies in the states too. The story wasn't bad, but, I never thought I'd be saying this, omitting the music would have been very beneficial to the movie. They were out of place, totally didn't have any continuity with the story and generally left you with the feeling of 'why the hell was that in there?'. It would have improved without it. (See, I'm saying this even though SRK was in it, I'm objective!)
Yea yea, okay, so I watch a lot of movies and I'm obsessed with SRK! Tell me something I don't know!

Review 2 : My thoughts on Veer-Zaara, Chalte Chalte, and Mohabbatein
Review of KANK: Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna
I haven't read any reviews for the movie, so I don't know how it is doing or what others think about it, but I'm going to say it is probably the best movie I've seen this year. It was really phenomenal. The other movies I may have seen this year, they were interesting and entertaining, but it would be a long shot to actually call them good. Charlie Wilson's War was great. It was informative, it was entertaining, interesting, exciting, funny, and dark all at the same time. I loved all the politics, and all the jabs at politics in it ('Why does Congress say one thing and do nothing?' 'Tradition, mostly.'). But even for something who doesn't like politics I think it would be more than entertaining. And so relevant to things that are still going on. It really made you think about the whole huge chain of events. Things just never really end. All the history even before WWI, WWI leading to WWII, leading to the Cold War, the rise of Al Queda and Bin Laden, and leading to more current Afghanistan and ME conflict. Everything is just so connected. Cause and effect. A pretty powerful message, but not overwhelming. Another case of America going in with all their ideals and then leaving a country in shambles.
I just went and looked up a few reviews and a lot of people seem angry that it a perversion of history and that it is propaganda ignoring the fact that the weapons we gave them to fight off the Soviets they ended up using against us and when we pulled out, Al Queda took over. I thought it was made perfectly clear in the film. I even wondered if a lot of the stuff towards the end was foreshadowing because we all know what did end up happening years down the road. I thought that was one of the main things in the story and honestly hard to miss. Some critics seemed slightly scathing about the topic though, saying it was totally ignored. I wonder if they were even awake for the movie.
"These things happened. They were glorious and they changed the world... And then we fucked up the endgame"
-Charlie Wilson
It was a fantastically balanced movie between enlightening, educational, and entertaining. The audience seemed to love it too. My mom liked it so much she was going to try and drag my dad to it so she could see it again. I would honestly recommend it to anyone.
A horse is given to a boy and the villagers rejoice. "We'll see," the Zen master says. The child falls off and breaks his leg, an unfortunate turn of events. "We'll see," the Zen master says. War breaks out and the injury keeps the boy at home, a blessing, it seems. "We'll see," the Zen master says.
Title: Stardust
Cast:
Charlie Cox, Claire Danes, Michelle Pfeiffer, Kate Magowan
Release Date: August 10, 2007
Summary:
A young man named Tristran (Charlie Cox) tries to win the heart of
Victoria (Sienna Miller), the beautiful but cold object of his desire,
by going on a quest to retrieve a fallen star. His journey takes him to
a mysterious and forbidden land beyond the walls of his village. On his
odyssey, Tristran finds the star, which has transformed into a striking
girl named Yvaine (Claire Danes). However, Tristran is not the only one
seeking the star. Lord Stormhold's (Peter O'Toole) three living sons
not to mention the ghosts of their four dead brothers all need the star
as they vie for the throne. Tristran must also overcome the evil witch,
Lamia (Michelle Pfeiffer), who needs the star to make her young again.
As Tristran battles to survive these threats, encountering a pirate
named Captain Shakespeare (Robert De Niro) and a shady trader named
Ferdy the Fence (Ricky Gervais) along the way, his quest changes. He
must now win the heart of the star for himself as he discovers the
meaning of true love
Opinion:
Loved this movie!! It was so much fun to watch, I even sat through the movie in a theatre with broken A/C in Texas in the middle of summer! I read the book quite a while ago, so I knew the basic outline and, from what I remember, they did a great job adapting it. The people I went with hadn't read the book and they all loved it too. My sister said that the previews on TV were misleading, making it out to be a serious movie when it wasn't. I don't have a TV and haven't seen the previews, but someone out there might be thinking that. I would put it more in a category with Princess Bride than something serious.
It was a lot of fun though, one I'll buy when it comes out and watch countless number of times. Funny, fantasy, magic, love, action, it has it all! With the story, it has the possibility of being cheesy or tacky (as many fantasy movies can be), but it definitely wasn't, it went far above my hopes for it. Clever, smart, and entertaining, the cast did an amazing job and it was just everything a fantasy movie should be
It has been getting good reviews and it has totally deserved every one of them. Out of all the movies that have come out recently, this has been my favourite one. Everyone should go see it!
Lois and Clark : The New Adventures of Superman
Season 3, 1995
My thoughts:
This third season, I have to say, was dramatically different from the previous two. The first season was fun, each episode a new challenge and very light hearted, second season had the romance and drama of the relationship between Lois and Clark, and this third season was a huge leap in direction from those. The third season started out as an extension of the second season, the relationship of L & C on rocky shores, a few new villains (a few old ones! Tempus makes an appearance), and always a lot of trouble for Lois to get in, but when the relationship part of the story starts to resolve itself halfway through the season, and Lois finally agrees to marry Clark, another 'type' of show kicks in. You even get used to her new haircut.
I started watching an episode one night, and lo and behold, find myself in the middle of a major story ARC. To this point, the show has been very much episodic, like the previous seasons, but in the episode where they are about to get married, the series takes a huge turn. It starts with clones and frogs and stretches in a continual flow through another return of Lex, Lois losing her memory...twice, brainwashing, falling for someone else &c, &c. So, I started watching the one episode and found myself glued to my screen until the arc finished, nearly 5 episodes later. Maybe story arcs where starting to get popular in '95? You know that it was something new when they did 'Previously on Lois and Clark' before every episode began. And it was a seriously convoluted storyline and riveting change, I have to say. It may have been a change that saved the show (for me anyway, not that I would ever tire of it, but the show did continue to lose ratings and you started to wonder how many times Lois could find herself the target for some new psycho, she must have pissed off a lot of people in her past), so many series completely falling apart when the main characters finally get together and the huge story arc started up when Lois and Clark became a completely committed couple and you knew nothing would keep them apart. Something had to keep you watching. And it did. It went on long enough to make you wonder if things were going to resolve themselves. The end of the season started up another arc, one to lead into Season Four. Superman has reunited with his Kryptonian wife, left earth--and Lois--to save New Krypton from an evil overlord.... DUN dun duuuunnnnn
But all joking aside, I did cry at that last episode, it was really, really sad.
So, that is my synopsis. There are a lot of series that start to lose your attention as you get into the seasons, but this isn't one of them. Still heartily recommend buying the entire show ;)

Lois & Clark : The New Adventures of Superman
Season 2, 1994
Amazon Summary:
In Lois & Clark's first season,
Clark Kent (Dean Cain) and Lois Lane (Teri Hatcher) joined the ranks of
Sam and Diane and David and Maddie as TV's sparkiest couples whose
devoted fans couldn't wait to see get together. Season 2 takes the
star-crossed duo--and the series--to "the next step"; a long-awaited
first kiss (the episode "Lucky Leon"), and declarations of love,
culminating in a season-ending marriage proposal ("And the Answer
Is..."). But getting to that deliriously romantic rain-soaked moment is
all the fun. There are diabolical villains for Superman to foil,
including a resurrected (and bald) Lex Luthor (John Shea reprising his
first-season role in "The Phoenix"), a trash-TV host (Raquel Welch in
"Top Copy), the vengeful Prankster (Bronson Pinchot in "The Prankster"
and "Return of the Prankster"), and, incredibly, a time-traveled Al
Capone (William Devane in "That Old Gang of Mine"). There is also a
romantic rival for Clark's affections, Deputy D.A. Mayson Drake (Farrah
Forke in "Church of Metropolis") and for Lois's (Jim Pirri as agent
Daniel Scardino in "Resurrection"). Lois and Clark's second
season not only features improved special effects, but a stellar roster
of character actors: Roger Corman veteran Dick Miller as Lois's uncle
and Peter Boyle as Intergang kingpin Bill Church in "Church of
Metropolis"; a reunited Sherman Hemsley and Isabel Sanford (The Jeffersons)
in the Dean Cain-penned holiday episode, "Season's Greedings"; Bruce
Campbell as Bill Church Jr. in "Individual Responsibility"; and Terry
Kiser of Weekend at Bernie's fame as H.G. Wells in "Tempus
Fugitive," the fan-favorite episode in which futuristic villain Tempus
spills the beans to the "galactically stupid" Lois about Clark's secret
identity. "That was worth the whole trip," he cackles, and for series
fans, this benchmark (albeit fleeting) moment is probably worth the
price of this super six-disc set.
My thoughts:
It's already become painfully aware to those around me that I have become ridiculously obsessed with Lois & Clark/Superman in a very short time. I can't really explain it, but I am simply in LOVE with this show again. Much more than I was when it was on TV (of course, I was very young).
The second season was just as good as the first. I was sort of annoyed at the beginning though, it bothers me when shows change the casting on a character and I guess just expect you not to notice. They changed the person who plays Jimmy Olsen. Replaced him with the most 90's looking kid you can imagine, the long, floppy hair and 90's cute boyish baby look. You get used to it, but it was strange just changing like that. And cutting out the character of Cat, who I was never terribly fond of, but seemed like a pretty big supporting character of the first season.
The changes between the tones of the first two seasons, I though, was quite tangible. The first season was much more light and carefree, the second season gets a bit angst ridden. This is the season when Lois and Clark 'get together' in some form or other. Lots of awkwardness, both being pursued by others, jealousy, distrust, lies, all the dark goodies you can imagine and still keeping a little light heartedness that makes it so enjoyable to watch. And you just WAIT till Lois finds out that Clark is Superman, they tease you with it so much that, even though you know it doesn't happen till the third season, you wait for it. The amount that he just bolts when he is around her becomes painfully noticeable even before they mention it in the story. And they did throw quite a few cheesy 'making fun of ourselves' scenes in it. And really, how blind can Lois actually be? It boggles :P
I'm loving it, and the cliff hanger ending, which the first season was lacking, is making me even more impatient for the next season to arrive at my door.
So, I'll be rewatching episodes from this season if I want something brimming with romance, and first season if I want something light.
Check it out or buy it!
Lois & Clark : The New Adventures of Superman
Season 1, 1993
Amazon Summary:
Lois & Clark was one of the sweetest surprises of the 1993
television season, and while it certainly enjoyed a devoted following
until the series jumped the tall building in its later years, we can
probably thank the Phoenix-like rise of Desperate Housewives' Teri Hatcher's career to thank for its arrival on DVD. The premise of Lois & Clark is one fraught with peril, particularly for core fans. This incarnation of the Man of Steel saga recasts Superman as romantic comedy. One of the series creators once described this series as "basically, Moonlighting,
only Bruce Willis can fly." This is overstating the case by leaps and
bounds. Clark Kent (Dean Cain) has not been reinvented as a
wisecracking street-wise hipster. The chemistry between the new
Metropolis arrival and rookie Daily Planet scribe and ace
investigative reporter Lois Lane (Hatcher) is not as sexually charged
as David and Maddie, and their banter is not as sharp. But as with Moonlighting it would be a few seasons before the two lovelorn characters consummated their attraction.
The dramatic arc of this inaugural season is "the fall of the house of
Luthor," but at its heart is the triangle between Clark, Lois, and the
charming snake Lex Luthor (John Shea), who, in the pilot episode,
Superman vows to bring to justice ("Let the games begin," Luthor
responds). Further complicating matters is that Superman has literally
swept Lois off her feet. But until the episode "Barbarians at the
Planet," in which Lex proposes to Lois, Lois professes her love to
Superman, and Clark confesses his love to Lois, Lois & Clark breezily tweaks the touchstones of Superman
iconography. "I've never noticed it before," a "drunk with love" Lois
observes to a bespectacled Clark in "Pheremone, My Lovely," "You look a
lot like Superman." Though special effects have progressed since the
1990s, Lois & Clark has lost little of its sparkle and panache, thanks to its super leads, whose fledgling careers soared to dizzying new heights. --Donald Liebenson
Comments:
I was enjoying watching Superman Returns so much that when I let my
mother borrow it and I saw this set at Half Price Books, I just HAD to
buy it. I remember loving the show when it was on television as a kid
and figured it would be fun. I had been looking into it the week
before so it was quite a lucky find for me.
Now, I was expecting/remembering some of the general cheesiness, poor
special effects, and hilariously 90's moments, but none of it detracted
from the show at all, aside from a few occasional laughs at choice of
background music or blue screen. I am so glad that I picked this up
and the other seasons are en route as I type. I think I'm more in love
with this show now than I was when I watched it back in the 90's. I'll
probably sound too old and snobby if I say "They don't make TV shows
like they used to." But you watch this and it is true. This show it
really a jewel. It has all the sexual tension, lies, and romantic
comedy as a lot of shows do now, but it does it with so much more flair
and tact. The cast is really amazing, Terri and Dean are really
amazing and have a great chemistry on screen.
Perhaps it's a return to innocence because of either Superman in
general or remembering my childhood, but it has just launched itself
into my most treasured DVDs.
If anyone remembers watching these shows 10+ years ago, I highly recommend buying or renting them. It hasn't lost anything in those years. It's still as great as ever.
DVD review because the movie came out ages ago...
Superman Returns
Release Date: 2006
Cast: Brandon Routh, Kate Bosworth, Kevin Spacey, James Marsden
Synopsis:(Amazon)
If Richard Donner's 1978 feature film Superman: The Movie made us believe a man could fly, Bryan Singer's 2006 follow-up, Superman Returns, lets us remember that a superhero movie can make our spirits soar. Superman (played by newcomer Brandon Routh) comes back to Earth after a futile five-year search for his destroyed home planet of Krypton. As alter ego Clark Kent, he's eager to return to his job at the Daily Planet and to see Lois Lane (Kate Bosworth). Lois, however, has moved on: she now has a fiancé (James Marsden), a son (Tristan Leabu), and a Pulitzer Prize for her article entitled "Why the World Doesn't Need Superman." On top of this emotional curveball, his old archrival Lex Luthor (Kevin Spacey) is plotting the biggest land grab in history.

I don't know why I waited so long to buy this movie. I was obsessed with it when it came out to theatres, and I went out and rented all the previous Superman movies (awesome, btw), but when it came out on DVD, I held out because I thought it was a sure-fire Christmas present. Turns out I didn't get it and for some reason I never went out and bought it. Well, a few days ago I did, and I have to say that it was every bit as brilliant as it was the first time. I love this movie. They did a really fantastic job with it and, in my opinion, it is the best Superman movie yet. The cast is amazing, the story tugs at your heartstrings, and in the end, of course, the world is saved. Superman is the epitome of superheros and this movie is one of the best hero movies made. Another Superman movie was needed and this one is bound to be a classic. I could watch it over and over again and never get bored with it. I could use another sequel. I'm not sure if I'll ever get passed how much Clark Kent looks like Superman O_o Apparently, neither could the film makers, they threw that in there a lot. I'm waiting for someone to realise it....again. At least he's not like Spiderman, that superhero can't keep his identity a secret to save his life.
Title: 10th Kingdom
Cast:
Kimberly Williams, Scott Cohen, John Larroquette, Dianne Wiest, Ann-Margret
Year: 2000
Plot:
This epic 10-hour miniseries from the Emmy-winning writer of Gulliver's Travels was a ratings bust on television, but on video and DVD, where it can be enjoyed at one's leisure, it has a better chance to cast its magical spell. Kimberly Williams has never been more enchanting than as Virginia, a waitress who still lives with her janitor father (John Larroquette) and yearns for something exciting to happen to her. Her wish comes true when she and her father are transported from New York City into a dimension that, with apologies to Rod Serling, can only be called the Fairy Tale Zone; nine kingdoms populated by characters from fairy tales of yore. They team up with a dog who's really a prince--Wendell, grandson of Snow White--changed into canine form by the evil Queen (Dianne Wiest), who plots to usurp Wendell's throne. Father, daughter, and his royal dogness are relentlessly pursued through the nine kingdoms by the Troll King (Ed O'Neill) and his three bumbling and horrible children, and the conflicted Wolf (Scott Cohen), who is allied with the Queen but, with the aid of some Oprah-esque self-help books, tames his inner beast and falls in love with Virginia. The 10th Kingdom is a special effects extravaganza. There is indeed, as one character marvels, magic to behold here. But despite the Hallmark brand name and the presence of a grown-up Snow White (Camryn Manheim) and Cinderella (Ann-Margret), bewitched animals, magic mirrors, and trolls, this is not kid's stuff. It can get scary, surprisingly violent, and quite intense; you know, just like real fairy tales.
Comments:
Yea, it was a bust on TV, but I watched it when it was first aired and even taped the whole thing! I wore those tapes out fast. This movie is amazing. One of the most underrated and under-watched movies. Probably not given the credit it deserves because it was one of those made-for-TV movies. One of the many that they did over those few years. Does anyone remember that? I think it was ABC making all those fantasy TV movies. They had quite a few of them. I watched them all and this is by far the best one, and even being 6 hours, is one that I could never get tired of watching. It has everything anyone can want, the perfect adult fantasy (barring LotR) that everyone has been wanting to find. Adventure, romance, drama, family issues, royalty, trickery, angst, gambling, and hell even Snow White, a scheming queen, an evil huntsmen, and an ax-man named Juliet.
I really couldn't recommend this movie enough. You have to at least rent it. Just make sure you have enough time to watch it. But if you can't watch it all in one sitting, don't worry, there is plenty enough to keep you entertained every time you watch more of it!
Anyone missing some fairy tales in their life has to watch this movie. It is truly epic. The only problem I have with it is that they set it up perfectly for a sequel and never made one.
