The Wind Rises

The legendary Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki has avowed that "The Wind Rises" will be his last film, and what a strange swan song it is.

The Secret World of Arrietty

Japanese animation legend Hayao Miyazaki co-wrote, but did not direct, the new Studio Ghibli production "The Secret World of Arrietty," and the film suffers without his golden touch. Anointed director Hiromasa Yonebayashi has made a vividly colorful, frequently beautiful movie, but not one that will linger in my memory.
