Last night I watched Lio and Stitch, such a wonderful story, it tackled hard issues (forced seperation, guardianships, family) and Stitch's pathos acting was creative and appealing to me. Tonight I'll probaly watch the sequeal or the bonus feat on "Big wave" editon

Don't watch the sequel. It's lifeless, soul-less, all the heart and warmth of the original is sucked out of it. There's no character development.

I watched Army of Darkness last night. I thought it was okay. I did have a few humorous moments and some interesting stop-motion effects. I still need to watch the first two Evil Dead films.

Watching W right now.

Mona Lisa Smile - I absolutely LOVED it! Maggie Gyllenhaal and Kirsten Dunst really made the movie, for me. I strongly reccomend it to everyone that hasn't already seen it.

Practical Magic - I really liked this. It was a messy film, but it was fun, and sometimes that's all I'm looking for in a movie. I really felt that Sandra Bullock carried this movie. Nicole Kidman wasn't a strong as she usually is, and I much prefer her Samantha over Jillian.

This weekend, I saw Repo: the Genetic Opera and Igor at a friend's house.

We were pleasantly surprised by how funny Igor was. Not Shrek 2 funny, but with some real laugh out loud moments nonetheless.

As for Repo, overall we agreed it was pretty entertaining, but that it did all have a feel that it was motivated by money rather than art. Kinda like "Hot Topic" the Musical, or a High School Musical for the Goth Crowd. A lot of the songs seemed hastily and weakly written. Still, the concept, hard to believe as much of it was (I can buy the idea of people getting this obsessed with face changes, like Hilton's character, disgusting as the idea is to me, but designer organs?), was all pretty cool, as was some of the casting. It was halfway through before I realized that was the girl from Spy Kids. I more quickly recognized the guy from House of 1,000 Corpses. Very interesting movie. Not great, and sadly had the potential to be great, but still enjoyable if largely because of the bizarreness of it all.

Oh, I also saw Return of the Living Dead 3 recently for the first time in a while. Fun flick, and nicely original story for the zombie genre, though it is one of the toughest movies for me to watch because of the self mutilation that takes place. [/b]

How did you like it? Everybody who saw it told me, Oliver Stone really let Bush off the took very easy. Which surprised me, since Stone always has been such a strong critic.

I've seen W recently, but I had to see it in two sittings unfortunately (I hate splitting my movie watching) but I don't really think W was made to criticise President Bush.

It's strange, because I did leave the film with a question of what was point of the film. It wasn't a biography (too much here say and speculation in my opinion, I'll listen to the commentary later), it wasn't a comedy (as some people claimed in the UK - the UK cover art proclaims as much from one critical source), it wasn't an examination of how the second Iraq War was started, but it tried to cover the motivation (but again, too much here say for my liking) and it most certainly wasn't critical. I'd have to say, all in all in was neutral. For more or less every pro there was a con. [shrugs]

I really do have to wonder why it was made. It's like cinematic chewing gum - it's just there.

I'm actually expecting the commentary to be at least 5 times for interesting than the film.

Il Ladro di Bambini ('The Stolen Children', 1992)

One of the best films I've ever seen. This is a great example of what European movies can do, that most coming from Hollywood can't: sincerely moving its audience without being obvious, moralizing and ramming it down your throat. The emotions come from the characters and their interaction; it doesn't have to be 'explained'.

Make Mine Music and Winni-the-Pooh on a vhs-tape I recorded years ago. Still looks quite good.

Last weekend I saw Mamma Mia! again and a 3-hours mini-series: Rudolf, the son of Sisi about the unhappy Austrian crown-prince who commited suicide together with his beloved Maria Vetsera. Funny thing is that Omar Sharif played a supporting role - years ago he himself played prince Rudolf! It also has Claus Maria Brandauer playing Emperor Franz-Joseph.

I finally watched my copy of Pinocchio on Blu-ray last night.

Wasn't into the movie so much. It looked great though!

Borrowed a screener from a friend and watched Monsters and Aliens. WOW!!! Now I really have to go see this in the theater. I wasn't really turned on by the trailers, and figured I would wait until it comes to DVD, but now that I have seen it, this weekend I will skip "Fast & Furious 4" and go watch "Monsters and Aliens" on the big screen with that great big digital sound and picture.

Monsters vs. Aliens - Utterly idiotic. (And comes off as one big fluff commercial piece for 3D cinema)
