Alright, a more in-depth talk about Coraline.
John Hodgman as Coraline's father was easily the best character, in my opinion. Both versions of the character, he was fun to look at, he was fun to watch move, and obviously pretty fun to listen to. And [spoiler]of the three wonders, I liked his the most.[/spoiler]
By contrast, the Cat looked pretty terrible compared to the rest of the characters. All the central characters each of them looked very much organic, alive and vibrant -- except the Cat.
Beldam was awesome. Every time she showed up she got just a little bit creepier. Her [spoiler]blind battle with Coraline in the massive spider's web was pretty cool, too[/spoiler]. ADDENDUM: Also interesting was the way in which [spoiler]she created entities like the Other Wybie and the Other Father specifically to love Coraline, and then punished them for liking Coraline over her.[/spoiler]
And, finally, Aphrodite. I laughed. You just don't expect people to make that kind of joke anymore, least of all in a fairly innocent, all-ages sort of movie.
Verdict: The best Silent Hill movie to date.
