The main character is betrothed to some girl from a prestigious family without money, while his family has money without prestige. Their marriage is arranged by both families as one of convenience, but he quickly falls for his bride. However, he is a bit inept and has trouble remembering his vows. While practicing them in the forrest, he slips the ring on what he believes is a dead twig, but in fact happens to be the hand of a dead girl. He realized that he loves her, yet is stuck between the worlds of the living and the dead, bound to both by love and obligation.

It was very well done, with much better animation/claymation than Nightmare had. The plot seemed slightly thin, but the characters were done well enough to more than make up for that.

Rating:
★★★★☆

Steel Magnolias

I don’t know why people say this movie is sad. It is funny. Couple of examples: (Warning: spoilers. You might want to skip them)

• Weezer (the mean old lady with the dog) is just downright hilarious. She is a total bitch but it is obvious she has a heart. Prolly in a glass jar on her nightstand.
• When the dead girl’s mom is standing in front of her coffin you know she is thinking “I gave you that kidney to keep you alive. You are wasting it. I want it back now, bitch!”

Holes

Decent movie. Basicly about fate. A little confusing at first because it covers three different time periods at once, but it makes sense at the end. It had the feel of an indie movie, though. I like indie movies, but not from major production studios.

Worst movie ever.
