Fierce Creatures
Great comedy with John Cleese and Kevin Kline. I think this is a brilliant parody on today's merciless greed of giant corporations, which buy up little companies to milk them as fast as they can and then throw them away. In this film, it happens to a zoo, and John Cleese tries to stop them. The first hour is the best, after that it gets weaker because it gets more sentimental.

Legally Blonde I had seen the end, but never the whole film before, and we just so happen to have it on DVD(one of the few my sister forgot to take with her to college) I think it's nice. I'm a guy who will always go for the chick flicks that stand against social injustice and discrimination. Plus, I like the dog.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off I'm visiting my grandparents and my uncle, and I was at my uncle's apartment and saw this. I'd never seen this, so I asked to borrow this. I loved it! It's such a great film, and it pretty much yells "EFF YOU!" to the public school system. Ahaha. I will definitely be picking up my own copy soon.

The curious case of Benjamin Button For the second time, a DVD rental.
I still like the movie, but unfortunately the only extra on this 'rental version' is an audio commentary. I really would like to see some background material on 'The making of'.
Maybe I should place the 2 DVD edition on my wish list and ask it for my birthday.

That IS a fantastic film! My favorite scene (of course, it's everybody's favorite scene):zackisthewalrus wrote:Ferris Bueller's Day Off I'm visiting my grandparents and my uncle, and I was at my uncle's apartment and saw this.

Only angels have wings
I loved this classic Hollywood drama! It has a very low pacing, it takes a long time for something to happen, but it is great because of the acting performances of Cary Grant and especially Jean Arthur. And what I love most, is the interactions between all the characters. It all seems very sincere, which is quite unique in those old Hollywood pics, in which often, false sentiment prevails.

Monsters Inc. - Another great work from Pixar. Can't wait for the Blu-ray release (ON MY BIRTHDAY 
 )!

Disney's Cinderlla
One of his best films, but I'm irritated by the much too obvious rotoscoping done in Cinderella's and Tremaine's animation (of course the artists later said they 'interpreted' the live-action... yeah sure!). The film is saved by the fantastic voice cast; the lively animation of Ward Kimball on the cat and mice; the comic interaction between the king and the grand duke; and of course the lively story with a most likeable protoganist.

Last night I screened a double feature:
The Craft: I love Fairuza Balk in this supernatural thriller which combines evil hocus-pocus against a teen angst highschool backdrop. One of my all-time faves.
Misery: Kathy Bates is the "number one fan" whom James Caan wishes he'd never met, after his car crashes during a snow storm. Now stay perfectly still whilst Annie performs a hobbling...

Funny Girl:  I love the restored DVD version, but I'll bet it'll look doubly spectacular when Columbia gets off their a** and releases a Blu-ray.  The restoration of FUNNY GIRL was in part instigated by no less than Barbra Streisand herself.  After requesting a new print of the film for her personal screening room, lab assistants discovered just how badly damaged and worn the original elements of the film were.  
Although the second half of the movie drags the pace, it's still an electric experience to see Barbra, in her very first role, the one which cemented her fame on the Broadway stage (and indeed the performance for which she's still most famous for today).
