One of the best things about watching an animated film from Japanese animation director/ Manga artist Hayao Miyazaki is that we get to see a truly unique animated experience.
Miyazaki has made such great animated films as “Spirited Away,” “Princess Mononoke” and more recently “Ponyo.”
The latest film involving Miyazaki, this time as executive producer, is the delightfu l“The Secret World of Arrietty.”
Michael Sucsy’s “The Vow” is a movie that’s better than it probably should be.
The ads make it look like an adaptation of another of Nicholas Sparks’ sappy, shallow romance novels. In fact in the official trailer they heavily advertise the fact that both its big stars, Rachael McAdams and Channing Tatum, were in previous Sparks adaptations.

Most people know very little, if anything, about hospital chaplains. What they do know typically comes from outdated Hollywood portrayals of a priest coming to save the sinner’s soul before death takes it
“A writer’s problem does not change. It is always how to write truly and having found out what is true, to project it in such a way that it becomes part of the experience of the person who reads it.” — Ernest Hemingway
On the topic of building new palaces for professional sports teams, Seattle has something like the political equivalent of PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder): Large numbers of people are still bitter that — not once but twice in the mid-‘90s — Seattle voters turned down public financing of large new stadiums, only to have them built with tax dollars anyway.
Seattle’s citizens have become strangers in their own land, increasingly ignored and treated as outsiders at City Hall by staff and leaders supposedly elected to serve them. That’s certainly our impression informed by 35-plus years of involvement in Seattle politics.
