 Holli Would-- March 21, 2009

I came across this little jewel while searching for animated movies. It was on cable once and had a fine impression on me. Somewhere between children and adult it stimulates a fantasy where reality is not all what it seems. Somewhere in an alternative universe there exist a race of perverse cartoons, the ultimate 'toon being Holli Would (Kim Basinger). Gabriel Byrne, a cartoonist and convict serving time in our reality thinks he has created 'Cool World'. And Holli is the woman of his dreams in both worlds. Also, Brad Pitt turns up as the local cop in an unbelievably riotous spin through this cartoon land. The animation and live action blends favorably to a fantasy right on the edge. With it is an electronica soundtrack with a driving beat throughout. Make this a trip to the other side of our life.

My daughter is a BIG Brad Pitt fan. I bought this for her as a gift for her collection of movies he has done. It is a cut movie that Brad did in his earlier days.
One of my All-time favorite movies June 4, 2008

This movie has wonderful animation! The spiral city buildings are like a dream-land. I like that the movie starts out in a different era also. Love Brad Pitt's hair, among other things. This was actually the first movie I had ever seen Brad Pitt in. If you like Brad Pitt, you'll love this movie. His character is a very nice one which makes him even sexier. This half-animated movie is for the adults because of some sexual content.
What you think of this movie will depend on who you are November 12, 2007

If you're a kid or a parent looking for the sequel to Roger Rabbit, this isn't it. It's not intended to be family friendly, and you shouldn't assume that every animated or live-action-plus-animation feature is child-oriented. This particular piece is oriented toward older teens and people in their 20's and 30's. It's not porn, like Fritz the Cat, and it's not an extended-length music video, like Heavy Metal, but it does have alot of sexuality in it, which is used as a plot device. It doesn't pretend to be a children's movie (look at the cover or the byline), and it doesn't pretend to be X-rated either.
Judging it in this light, it's a good film. Brad Pitt stars in an early role vis a vis the voice of Kim Bassinger in a piece tinged with equal parts film noir, sex comedy, and cartoon. Does it deserve an Oscar? No. Does it deserve a few good laughs from a group of friends sometime before heading out to the bar? Yeah.

Cool World is a great movie. I love the way they did the cartoon world mixing with the real world. Reminds me of Roger Rabbit, only this is made for adults, not kids.
