"Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day" was a champagne cocktail of a movie: sparkly, bubbly, sweet, and with no hint of any kind of real substance. I enjoyed it thoroughly. ( Read more about Amy Adams' general fabulousness, costumes to die for, and Moaning Myrtle growing up--good heavens, she was a 40-year-old actress playing a 15-year-old in Goblet of Fire! )

Hellboy: Wake the Devil: Mignola's coloring is amazing; the shadows of the story are alive, even though they're just swathes of black here and there on the page. The story's not too bad, either, and highly reminiscent of old pulp comics, with its supernatural forces, Nazi bad guys, and a staunchly pragmatic hero.
