I find 5cm so hard to watch because its so painfully sad. Of Shinkai's films I prefer Place Promised and Garden of Words which have endings with more promise.

Its Japanese title is "Kontonoha no Niwa". You should buy a copy, I think its beautiful. The animation is the most incredible I have ever seen.

Those groups that you mentioned at the end there are not exactly the most forward-thinking associations though. It's the kind of people who don't like to see any positive portrayals of women.
Anyway, I'd really like to see it too! I haven't seen the old Mad Max films (though I do want to now) and assumed that a fourth film after many many years would just be a cynical money grab, but it sounds like it's been a huge success! I was also seeing that a lot of the effects are completely real, including some incredibly ridiculous cars which actually work. I think that's really cool.

Rio? Yeah, Dreamworks isn't anywhere close to any ghibli film. Ghibli's are films, Dreamworks are movies.
If you want to find an animated studio that closely matches Ghibli, I'd reccomend Pixar. Some of my personal favorites are Ratatouille, The Incredibles, Monsters Inc., and Wall-E. They aren't Ghibli, but it's as close as America will get.

The Hobbit - An Unexpected Journey (2 days ago) and The Hobbit - The Desolation of Smaug (last night). The Battle of the Five Armies is tonight. Its the only one of the trilogy I haven't seen (watched the other two at the cinema and a couple of times on DVD).
Despite what the purists complain about with Peter Jackson's additions I think he did a very good job, especially the cast were good. I can't think anyone else would have done it better and while three movies could be seen as excessive, a single movie with all its compaction would have been worse.

The Hobbit - Battle of the Five Armies.
Very very good, thoroughly enjoyed it. Jackson added in a lot more to this film than the others, making clearer links to Lord of the Rings, but that's not a bad thing.
Its been years since I read the book but did some principal characters meet their fate in it? I don't remember that so the ending was a shock to me.

I still need to see the final part. I enjoyed the first two, even though it was all too long. I'm actually interested to see what's in the third one, considering it seemed like there wasn't much left of the book after the second film.

If I were to rank LotR and The Hobbit, It'd look something like this:
6. H: Unexpected Journey/Hobbit Part One
5. H: The Battle of the Five Armies/Hobbit Part Three
4. H: Desolation of Smaug/Hobbit Part Two
3. LotR: The Two Towers/Lord of the Rings Part Two
2. LotR: The Return of the King/Lord of the Rings Part Three
1. LotR: The Fellowship of the Ring/Lord of the Rings Part One
I just read the book for school in March, and I believe someone important dies.
If any of you haven't seen Lord of the Rings, go do so NOW. It's a great example of fine cinematography.

Best to remove that spoiler, no need to be specific about any characters. I was just struck by it because my memory of the book is hazy. If I didn't have about 20,000 anime to watch I'd read it again.

Just watched the 2013 Keanu Reeves version of The 47 Ronin.
Flippin epic! A really REALLY good action film. Very cool and super tragic, gets the emotions going.
Much of the time as I was watching it, it felt like an anime, it was THAT good.
