Indiscreet: I'm unsure about this movie, parts of it were really awesome, parts were blah and parts were not cool. Carey Grant and Ingrid Bergman are in love but lies are discovered and problems come up. One thing that comes from this movie is a message that you shouldn't lie about things, and I'm behind that 100% but there's a sort of battle of the sexes and the ending of the movie did not sit well with me. The movie was made in 1958 and that probably accounts for it's chuvanism but it doesn't make it any more plesant.

Australia: Wow, I've been wanting to watch this movie since I saw the previews about a year ago...obviously these things take me a while; it didn't disappoint though, it was a pretty awesome movie, even after they hype has faded down. I must say I was a bit disappointed that I could tell that computer animation was used in some parts but I suppose that can be dealt with. I wish that there weren't a few things in there that are, however I believe it's rated pg 13 and so I was warned. This movie was really awesome, really sad and the stars of the movie are both really pretty (Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman). The plot of this movie is very similar to that of Out of Africa but the issue of race and discrimination is dealt with much more. I am not very familiar with Australia at all but in Australia around the time of WWII the main ethnical groups in Australia were white and Aboriginies and as was usual for the time period, there was discrimination agains the Aboriginies but what really struck me was that below the Aboriginies on the social ladder were childeren who were half white and half Aboriginy, "creamies" was one of the derogatory terms. These poor childeren would be shipped off to an island, to an asylum away from their parents...or mothers really, since most of their fathers wouldn't claim them. It may have occured, but I'm not aware of anything like that happening with the racial discrimination between white and black people and this really struck me, that these poor children were just stuck between worlds, and not really able to join either. This movie really touched me and made me think.

Damn Yankees: This was an interesting movie, not the best plot, not the greatest music, but the dancing was great. This movie was choreographed by Bob Fossse and his wife, Gwen Verden was one of the stars, they even have a dance number together. This movie also made me think, the plot is that a man sells his soul to help his favorite team beat the Yankees, and so he makes a deal with the devil. The way the devil was portrayed in the movie made me wonder about how things would be if one made a deal witht the devil.
