Times Staff WriterOscar winner Hayao Miyazaki creates a visually breathtaking fantasy world with 'Howl's Moving Castle.' We hear it before we see it, moving ponderously with heavy, thudding steps: Something big is coming our way. Clanging, banging, wheezing, it's something...Tags: Rube Goldberg, Moving, Movies, Moving and Storage, Animation (genre)

'The Spiderwick Chronicles'
Los Angeles Times Staff WriterFebruary 14, 2008 With character names like Hogsqueal, Mulgarath and Thimbletack, it's got to be derivative.

'Southland Tales'
![Abyzantine doomsday freakout that also somehow feels eerily familiar, "Southland Tales" is Richard Kelly's panoptic denunciation (or sendup, it's hard to tell) of the imminent, oil crisis-fueled apocalypse as seen from Los Angeles. The movie was booed at Cannes when it screened there last year, though I don't know what that says about it beyond noting that it joins the ranks of Sofia Coppola's "Marie Antoinette," Vincent Gallo's "The Brown Bunny" and Pamela Anderson. Since Cannes, "Southland Tales" has been extensively re-cut -- though, at 2 hours and 24 whacked-out minutes, it's hard to imagine what it looked like before.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2007-11/33769407-13155047.jpg "Abyzantine doomsday freakout that also somehow feels eerily familiar, "Southland Tales\" is Richard Kelly's panoptic denunciation (or sendup, it's hard to tell) of the imminent, oil crisis-fueled apocalypse as seen from Los Angeles.
