I really want to be excited for Tom Hooper's  'Les Miserables.' I do like the story at the heart of the musical and there are songs from it that, for all my cynicism, bore into my heart. However, I've been bombarded with featurettes, particularly those that play before the movies at Regal Cinemas, in which the…

Sorry if I don't even post anything here, but I thought this time I'd share this bit of French animation right here on Spill. Yes, I said animation. What? You thought it was a scary movie? Pfft. Come on XD
