LOL  I missed this post.  Good movie.

"Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH" or something like that.  Or was it "Mrs.
Brisby..."?  "Ms..."?  I forget.  Arg.  I've read that book about a dozen
times, too.  Good read.

And then... I
saw the movie.  I HATED it.  Oh my god, did they feel a need to put in magic
just because it was an animated movie for god's sake??!?!?!  ( I'm talking
about the "magic amulet" thing, whatever it was called...)

Yah, that was disappointing.  But after you factor in Don Bluth's successful
upset of the Walt Disney Co.'s virtual monopoly on the market, and the great
flicks both have released trying to out-do the other, it's not so bad.

And don't tell Barbara I said so, but Mrs. Brisby looked pretty hot with the
magic floating amulet.  :-,

Kevin Costner is just about the worst actor in the whole world anyway... All
he does is change his clothes.  No accent, no intonation, no emotion,
nothing.

I think he was an excellent casting decision for Dances with Wolves and
Field of Dreams.  Unfortunately, his role in Robin Hood and (ugh) Waterworld
were the exact same characters...

He stands...like some sort of...PAGAN GOD or DEPOSED TYRANT.  Staring out
over the city he's sworn to...to stare out over...  And it's evident...just
by looking at him...that he's got some PRETTY HEAVY THINGS ON HIS MIND.
