'Persepolis' is Anything but Black and Whitenew
No, it doesn't look like Ratatouille or Happy Feet, and, no, there are no giant ogres or talking donkeys, but the old-school animation is stark and beautiful, assisting Satrapi's story of learning about life from the inside of a wobbly, mutating Islamic regime.

Not All of Today's Horror Films are Schlockynew
The Orphanage is more ghost story than horror movie, and though it's low on the gore scale, it's still very scary, deeply atmospheric and seriously creepy, owing success to its solid direction and cinematography from Oscar Faura that holds the same precision to detail as Pan's Labyrinth.
