Some movies come to theaters and seem like they are gone in a blink. “Kubo and the Two Strings” is one of them. Yet, the review we ran gave it an A-, and the animated telling of a Japanese fable also stars local-guy-made-it-big Matthew McConaughey.
It’s out on Blu-ray next week and I have 12 copies to give away. Would you like one? Send an email to nvillalpando@statesman.com with your name, address (no P.O. Boxes) and phone number. Put “Kubo” in the subject line. I’ll draw out the 12 winners on Friday afternoon.
The film is from the folks who brought you “Coraline,” “ParaNorman” and “The Boxtrolls,” so you’re in for a slightly dark, thoughtful and beautiful treat.
