While doing the washing up, they thought of flying out of the window, sweeping across the tops of the trees in the garden, and landing up on the moon. Perhaps the movie should get the Oscar, even if it s just for freeing imaginations and giving everyone a frame of reference for mythical and magical things other than the overrated Potter.

Computer graphics are too smooth, seamless, phoney.
But at least they weren t used to create galaxies blasting each other into the cosmos, or monsters stomping about. This has to be the Oscar movie, she thought, because it s got the lot. Guys for the gals, armies for the guys, spectacular battles for everyone, political intrigues for the older generation who liked that kind of stuff, and a history lesson for the kids. Well, yes, if you re talking Oscars. Hollywood movies aren t in the doldrums.
