The Roaring Twenties (1938)

Classic gangster-pic with James Cagney.

I watched The Wizard of Oz (1939) last night. I thought it was pretty good. The way it transitions from sepia to technicolor was amusing and the actors seemed right for their roles.

4/5

I watched Ghostbusters last night. An amusing movie with many memorable moments. Now I need to get around to watching the sequel (Which I failed to do last year).

Full Metal Jacket-Good movie.

Couple's Retreat - Went to see this with a couple of friends, and it was hilarious! Kristen Bell also helped a bit.

Zombieland- Totally funny! Had some great moments, definitely recommended.

I was bored last night and watched She's Too Young on Lifetime. It was good...didn't feel too much different than a Degrassi episode, especially with <strike>Emma</strike> Dawn having done a certain something.

I want to see you in an arena pitted against 90% of America's film critics and see how that turns out.

Anyways ...

Australia - DVD rental. I adored this friggin' thing. It's awesome, from the acting to the score to the cinematography (and the stylised palette). I just took advantage of the www.play.com BOGOF offer and bought it on Blu-ray.

The Sentinel - Proficient and professionally made, but moves at a snail's pace and bored the hack out of me. Judging by the critics' reviews on Rotten Tomatoes I wasn't the only one.

Ice Age - A fine animated film if only the story didn't feel so familiar. Also delves into a sickening overkill of sentimentality and cliched lines. Scrat's sequences and witty Sid dialogue are the highlights. I found David Newman's score mostly dull. Is this really the same guy who scored Anastasia?

Ice Age The Meltdown - I found this to be quite a bit more enjoyable than its predecessor, with only few moments of forced sentimentality ... even though I could have done without those too. The climax was a bit of a letdown, being overly simple - but overall a well-made film. "Food Glorious Food" sequence was delightful to watch but otherwise pointless. It felt like it was there just for the sake of being there. Animation of original film was good, but in Ice Age 2 it looks mostly beautiful, and foreshadows visual delight that would be Horton. I liked the character design on the two possums. Oh, and John Powell's score is vastly superior to Newman's.

Yeah... Sometimes I just hate having my own opinion.

I was only teasing you PPf.

Maybe a winged Vince Vaughn will suddenly appear and save you from all the savage film critics. Go on. Smile. You know you want to.

King Kong (1933) - A truly classic film. Fairly superior to the 2005 remake (which is decent itself).

Invention of Lying

I thought it was so bad I was begging my friends to alk out of the cinema with me. 1/5

"Thumbelina" - I hadn't seen it in years and thought it would be a good time to give it another viewing. With it's stunning animation, beautiful music, and iconic supporting actors (Charo, Gilbert Godfried, etc.), it was just as wonderful as I remembered it being. I'm usually not a huge fan of non-Disney animated films, but this one ranks high on my list. I'm thinking it's time for a digitally enhanced Blu-Ray release, don't you?

- Ever After: A Cinderella Story - brilliant film, probably my favorite big screen adaptation of "Cinderella", second only to Disney's version and "The Slipper and the Rose".

- Bridget Jones's Diary / Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason - fantastic as usual. Eagerly anticipating No. 3.

I watched Evil Dead II (1987) last night. I think it's a little better than the first (which is still good) and has plenty jump scenes.

Oooooh.... I really need to re-buy "Ever After" on DVD....a wonderful film.

The Birds - Watched this in English, because we read the original short story by Daphne Du Maurier a week or two ago. I really liked this movie; Alfred Hitchcock is such a wonderful director. I also loved Tippi Hendren's voice, and look forward to watching the sequel just because of her.
