Over the past few days I have watched Superman Returns and Click.

Last night, I watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I think it's visually impressive and Johnny Depp was funny as Willy Wonka.

Noferatu (1922 - Germany) (Viewed 3 July 2006): What can I say about this masterpiece of German expressionism? That's just a cheap way of saying I don't want to do a proper review here.

Marred only by a dodgy public domain DVD copy (with some really inappropriate movie), this tale loses nothing despite me having seen about a dozen different versions of the tale (for it is, despite the name changes, a scene-for-scene Dracula story...the Bram Stoker estate even sued). Schreck - no, the other one - is marvellously chilling after 84 years, and it is interesting to watch this in the context of the clever Shadow of the Vampire (2000) (in which Willem Defoe plays Schreck as though he was actually a vampire). Sidenote: Schreck translates as 'fear'.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl & Howl's Moving Castle (I love Miyazaki's works!)

Oliver and Company - Good toon with some great songs and characters.

Cars - I have to disagree with Aarons review, I enjoyed it every much, very entertaining and great amazing animation.

The Return of the Living Dead (and what a coincidence, one of the first pieces of dialogue says - "4th of July weekend")

This is the end of vacation and I head back to work today, but before I go I just had to watch my latest purchase. I saw this in the theater twice, and now own it on DVD. Greg Kinnear and Pierce Brosnan in The Matador. Very off beat, funny film about an over-worked and under-appreciated hitman who is burnt out on his job. Brosnan was nominated for a Golden Globe for this role, and he richly deserved the nomination. Some pretty raunchy dialogue in this one, but the story just rocks!!

Yesterday I watched Oliver and Company and The Little Mermaid and this morning I watched Hercules. I plan on watching Beauty and the Beast again later.

The Shootist - the Duke's last movie and to me it has to be one of his best. If you get a chance, see this movie. Very Moving.

I only planned to watch maybe half of it tonight, since I was up early today. I ended up watching the whole thing. In conclusion,

Chasing Amy is quite possibly one of the best films I have ever seen.

Agreed. That was definitely Kevin Smith at his finest.

Downfall (2004 - Germany): Based partly on the memoirs of Hitler's last private secretary from 1942 to 1945, this details the final days of Hitler and his staff in the bunker as Berlin fell around them. An absolutely fabulous character study that is rich with historical detail. Having studied a lot of Germany history back in high school, I was looking forward to this and not disappointed in the slightest. Hitler is portrayed brilliantly by Bruno Ganz (perhaps best know as the lead in Wings of Desire). He is depicted as a flawed human being, and while this gives us some insight into the man, it neither demonises nor relieves him of any of the guilt. We get some idea as to why so many were willing to die for his ideals, and how intense those final days must have been. Simply from a dramatic and storytelling point of view - not to mention the terrific sets and historical factors - this easily earns an A Rating.

I watched some of Sword in the Stone before getting bored with it and turning it off.

I watched The Emporer's New Groove last night. Hilarious.

Sleeping Beauty for the first time yesterday. I bought a brand new version for like $47.00 dollars from eBay and I think it was worth it since its out of print now. but yeah it was good altho I wish Aurora and Prince Philip had more lines in the movie, the movie seemed to focus on the fairies, and maleficent wasnt in it as much as i thought. but all in all i thot it was great

Breaking the Waves (1996 - Denmark): Ah, Lars von Trier! You wacky little man...An emotionally intense film about an oil worker paralysed in an accident, and his mentally unstable wife who has sex with a bunch of people (at his urging) under the delusion that it will cure him. Could have easily been a complete wreck, but it takes you on an emotional rollercoaster for 2.5 hours. Takes a while to get going, but stick with it! It's great. Rating: A
