Little Red Riding Hood vs. Rashomon
« on: 15 Jan 2006, 20:10 »

Just saw a kid's film that was just brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

Hoodwinked took the old "Little Red Ridding Hood" story and turned it into, of all things, Rashomon — that classic Japanese film in which a horrendous crime is told from four different viewpoints.

So, in this film the crime that happened in Granny's cabin is told from the viewpoint of Red, Granny, the Wolf and the Woodcutter, with wacky results.

As I said, brilliant. Now PLEASE go see this film; I'd like to be able to discuss it with SOMEBODY!

so, it was real good, huh?  I would have pegged it as bad, but, then again, I havn't seen it.  I like movies like that, where the same thing is told from different view-points, it's a shame they are few and far between...

btw, would Ocean's 11 and 12 count as far as a movie like that?
