SCOTT PILGRIM vs. THE WORLD

"As bass guitarist for a garage-rock band, Scott Pilgrim (MICHAEL CERA) has never had trouble getting a girlfriend; usually, the problem is getting rid of them.

"

"Full of fresh, sharp touches and nonchalantly brash performances, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World consistently hits the sweet spot." -- Tom Charity - CNN.com

W***Y WONKA & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY (1971):

"The last of five coveted "golden tickets" falls into the hands of a sweet but very poor boy named Charlie (PETER OSTRUM). He and his grandpa (JACK ALBERTSON) then get a tour of the strangest chocolate factory in the world, and the owner (GENE WILDER) subsequently leads the five “lucky” young winners on a thrilling (and often dangerous) tour of his factory . . ."

* Ranked 90% FRESH! (87% audience) on RottenTomatoes.com

"Probably the best film of its sort since The Wizard of Oz. It is everything that family movies usually claim to be, but aren't: Delightful, funny, scary, exciting, and, most of all, a genuine work of imagination."
-- ROGER EBERT - Chicago Sun-Times
