Ghibli

As I mentioned before, Ive joined the Amazon rental service, and have taken to getting out movies I wouldnt normally think of buying. Its been a good opportunity to see both Spirted Away and Howling Wolf’s moving Castle – two excellent shows from Studio Ghibli, that prove that great characters and good storytelling, will always beat overstated visual effects and no substance.

Over the next few weeks, Film Four will be showing some of these movies for free (if you have Freeview/Satellite) – including Laputa, Castle in the Sky – so you’ve no excuse.
