Back To The Future: Part III: So scientifically this movie is even more far fetched than either of the other two movies, but it's still a fun one. Doc ends up getting sent back to 1885...or maybe 1855, I can't quite remember. Marty goes back to the past (1955) to get Doc's help fixing the time machine although now that I think about it I'm not sure how Marty gets to 1955 but maybe that's in the second movie and I just don't remember. Anyway, it's fun, utterly ridiculous and I'm guessing, unlike any other western out there.
The Manchurian Candidate: SEE THIS MOVIE! It was soo amazing, so wonderful. I should clarify that this is the original with Frank Sinatra and Angela Lansbury (is it just me or has that woman looked old her entire life?). I don't quite know how to explain it but early on in the movie I began to get excited, I knew that it would be an amazing movie; there are some movies that we love because they are dumb, some because they're mildly amusing, some that make us cry, so on and so forth but rare are the movies that can really thrill, movies that are intelligent, that might just blow your mind a little, that keep you utterly captivated- this was such a movie for me. I think this movie has earned itself a place in my heart with Casablanca, possibly even higher.
Glory Road: This is loosely speaking, the Remember The Titans of basketball. It's a sports movie and all that goes with it, defying the odds and being all around inspirational. I think this movie and Remember the Titans are different, and stand out from your average sports movie because these movies, both based on real events are about black/white integration and people who helped to break down the bigotry and hatred. Sports may not be everyone's cup of tea but I'm for anything that can help make the world a better place. I think this is a great story about great people in history.
Stardust: I quite enjoy this movie, I still remember going to see it with my roommates and a friend of ours. This movie, as the directer more or less said, is not going to change the world or anything like that, but it's terribly entertaining. Like Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow it's a dazzling world of fantasy and the kid inside me is just thrilled. In Stardust there are witches, stars, murderous princes and best of all pirates who's ship flies through the air. I absolutely love the idea of flying pirate ships, if they ever come about, I would probably join the account.
