House of another sort

Watched Monster House with CC yesterday, as he's back from Cambodia for a week or so. Maybe it's the low expectations (actually there were none), but haha, i must say i really enjoyed it. Didn't think I'd like such animation, but turned out that the effect was pretty realistic (yet not toooo realistic that it loses its kiddiness), the pace was good, and the script was well-written. Most favourite character was Chowder, the regular plumpish loser kid-next-door. Almost everything he did or utter made us laugh out loud XD

I know this will sound totally incompatible, but of the films that i have watched 2nd half of the year, the 2 films I'd recommend would be this one and Sophie Scholl. 2 totally different genres but hey, there's always a suitable movie for every mood.
