Ninja Assassin

You can’t believe everything you read on the internet. For instance, the imdb.com page for Ninja Assassin says that producers the Wachowski brothers weren’t happy with the original script and hired J. Michael Straczynski (Changeling) to do a complete rewrite, which he finished in 53 hours.

Fantastic Mr. Fox

There is so much of the child in Wes Anderson that it was inevitable that he would eventually make, if not a movie for children, then one that co-opts that genre traditionally reserved for children, the animated film. And hence Fantastic Mr. Fox, by far the most delightful film of the holiday season, so far and above such curdled product as Planet 51 or A Christmas Carol as to require a different scale entirely.
