After a late night at Bootie there was no way to make my planned 10am film, so I had to go with pinch-hitter Epic. They had full on Hollywood security - I had to check my phone. The film was delightful. It's amazing to see how far computer animation has come, both in technical quality and in script writing. I do have issues with the good/evil animal choices, but it's otherwise a grand adventure with a smart and resourceful heroine and a blissful lack of toilet humor. Recommended. I even think the 3D is worthwhile. Four and a half fighting hummingbirds out of five.

From there, I went on to Byzantium. It's like Neil Jordan made a revisionist version of interview with the vampire in atonement for interview with the vampire. Delicious. I'm looking forward to showing this one to C.
