55 of 55 · most liked firstI am saddened to hear of the passing of the amazing actress, Joan Plowright, who brought poor, troubled Aunt Lucinda to life in the 2008 film adaptation of "The Spiderwick Chronicles". May the fairies lead you to your next adventure, Joan. Godspeed.✨

neutral · AI labelView post →The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008) is the film equivalent of eating a fairground caramel apple on a crisp fall day with the smell of woodsmoke on the breeze. A hint of sweater weather and halloween yet to come.
positive · AI labelView post →For kids books, I thought [The Spiderwick Chronicles](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0416236/) movie was unnecessarily shitty.
negative · AI labelView post →Artemis Fowl is a good shout! I was hit and miss with them but loved LepRecon and Butler! It was the Spiderwick Chronicles that sent me into folklore and fantasy. I love those books! Terrible film, but the books were my childhood!
negative · AI labelView post →I also had a "big men make me feel funny so I'm gonna draw LOTS of them" era. That was also when I had a big fixation on the Spiderwick Chronicles movie and the sprite designs

positive · AI labelView post →The Spiderwick Chronicles is a decidedly pretty cool movie.
positive · AI labelView post →This doesn’t exactly get off to a flying start as siblings “Jared” and “Simon” (Freddie Highmore) arrive at a rundown house with their elder sister “Mallory” (Sarah Bolger) and the mum (Mary-Louise Parker). There is no sign of their absentee dad/husband (Andrew McCarthy) so we are left to assume the worst about his commitment to his family. Of course then there is the usual familial petulance, door slamming and stropping as nobody really wants to live in the ramshackle joint. Luckily, from now…

neutral · AI labelView post →There are similarities between Ching Siu-Tung's A Chinese Ghost Story (1987) and Sam Raimi's Evil Dead II (1987). Ching later worked on Sam's Spider-Man (2001), albeit uncredited. Nickelodeon's The Spiderwick Chronicles (a 2008 movie) is basically a family-friendly version of The Evil Dead.
neutral · AI labelView post →Even The Spiderwick Chronicles, a series based on a film that came from Nickelodeon Pictures, was sent to Disney+ before they turned it down. Nick didn't pick it up either, it was jettisoned to The Roku Channel, and now that series has Emmy nominations.

neutral · AI labelView post →The pilot for #TheSpiderwickChronicles is OK, good enough to keep me watching. What kills it for me: non-skippable ADS on Roku channel. Sure, three 90-sec breaks in a 47 min episode is not much, but I hate them, really. I don't know how I survived all those years before the VCR.

neutral · AI labelView post →This fantasy film deserves our sympathy and attention. This is a good film to watch with the family because it will easily appeal to young people and adults alike. However, I think it never received the attention it deserved, perhaps due to the fact that it was released at a time when the fantasy genre was dominated by a group of other much stronger and more relevant films. The film also strives to show the hidden side of knowledge as something dangerous, less than desirable, following the…
