In which the Mister and the Monsters join me in reviewing CORALINE (2009), based on a novella by Neil Gaiman. Currently streaming on STARZ and written and directed by Henry Selick, the film follows Coraline Jones, 11, who moves to the Pink Palace Apartments and is trying to settle into her new home and life when she suddenly is made aware of a door in the wall that leads to a mirror world, very much like her own but with nicer and attentive parents...or are they? The cast features Dakota Fanning (Coraline Jones), Teri Hatcher (Mrs Jones/Other Mother), John Hodgman (Mr. Jones/Other Father), Robert Bailey Jr. (Wyborne "Wybie"), Dawn French (Miss Forcible), Jennifer Saunders (Miss Spink), Ian McShane (Mr. Bobinsky) and Keith David as the Black Cat. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.
