Welcome to MovieSoup!

In this blog, I'll be posting news and information about the latest movies and showtimes at Muehl Public Library in Seymour, Wisconsin! Patrons of the Muehl Public Library, please feel free to post comments, requests and questions here if you have any for the Seymour Movie Diva! (I'm Colette, the one in the wolf T-shirt. Yeah, that's me.)

What's new and exciting?!

We just cashed in our Disney Movie Rewards points (yes, we save them! If you don't, and buy Disney movies we don't own, feel free to donate!) and got three Disney Movie Club releases.

So Dear To My Heart--This is the story of a boy raising a lamb for the county fair. It's live with some animated segments, and this is the first DVD release of it, I believe.
Little Dog Lost--The story of a lost Welsh Corgi, and its attempt to find a home. Based on the book Candy Come Home, Corgi owners have been pestering Disney to rerelease this one on video for ages.
Stub, the Best Cowdog in the West--Three cowdogs help a rancher hunt down a wild Brahma bull.

We have new anime as well! I'm especially fond of these Japanese animated series, so you'll hear a lot about this stuff.

The Wallfower--Sunako is scarred for life when the boy she confesses her love to tells her, "I don't like ugly girls." She becomes a terrifying, morbid Goth horror-movie fanatic. Her rich Auntie dumps her on the four pretty boys who rent her mansion, warning them that unless they can turn her into a proper lady, their rent will be tripled. Oh, no!

Death Note--Light Yagami seems like the perfect high school student. But then he finds a notebook dropped by a bored death god. The person whose name is written in the Death Note will die. Light decides to bring justice to the world by killing off all the criminals. Soon the wave of deaths is being investigated by the genius detective known only as "L." Will L discover the murderer's identity before Light learns his name? Nail-biting suspense in this cat-and-mouse thriller! The library has acquired the box set containing the first 20 episodes of the series, as well as the live-action moview based on it! (And the second Death Note movie will be arriving soon!)


Hope to see you around the library!

  2. Thanks! Yeah, little popcorn bags might be a good idea...we go through so many cups, and they're expensive and easy to spill!

  6. Hi, Anonymous! :) Calling the Muehl Public Library is the best way to ask specific questions. But for details: It runs from 4pm to midnight on Saturday, Oct 30. We will have around a hundred Anime titles available! We draw names, and the person whose name is picked gets to choose the next title we watch. There will be food and soda available. We have door prizes, but it's small stuff--second-hand mangas, stickers, library discarded DVDs, back issues of Shonen Jump, that sort of thing. There is no charge for anything. We try to keep to anime rated for 13-14 year olds up till 8pm. After that, we need the younger kids to go, because we allow people to choose programs with more mature content. There is no charge of any sort for anything, although donations of any sort are always welcome!
