Mr. Smith Goes to Washington: This is one of Frank Capra's greatest movies, I think that everyone should see it, and often. Jimmy Stewart and Jean Aurthur are both wonderful in this movie. I highly recommend it.

Return To Cranford: While this movie was still quite enjoyable with Judi Dench and all the other wonderful actors, and while there was a lovely happy ending, I was rather disappointed with this movie. If you liked Cranford you will probably still enjoy this one but I almost wish that I'd just stopped at Cranford and not seen this movie. Most of the stories from this one come from the Cranford novel and I believe a great deal of them have been made up to create more drama.

Only Angles Have Wings: This movie is a bit more black than a lot of movies but it's still fairly comedic and perhaps even sappy. I really enjoy this movie though, Carey Grant and Jean Arthur are great.

The Princess and the Frog: This movie was good, better than a lot of Disney (excluding pixar) movies have been the last few years. Was it amazing? no, was it a good enjoyable movie? yes, would it scare me if I were still a little kid? yes. I've heard that the firefly is hilarious if you know New Orleans, however I am completely unfamiliar with it so he was only amusing.

Cranford: This is a mini serise based off a book by Elizabeth Gaskill by the same name. Read the book! It's so wonderful and charming. Back to the mini serise, I very much enjoyed it, Judi Dench was wonderful as always. I don't like the serise quite as much as I love the book, the serise has some events and characters added to highten the drama and romance but it was still very enjoyable. I can't wait to see Return to Cranford.

Meet The Robinsons: This is a fun movie, one of the better Disney movies of the last few years. I like the positive message but more than that I love how funny it is!

Holiday Inn: This was the first time I ever saw this movie. I can't remember why but something possessed me to put it on hold, maybe hearing that White Christmas was a sort of sequel to it. Anyway the movie was alright but not my favorite. I'm not a huge fan of either Fred Astaire or Bing Crosby and they're both in this movie. It was a fun concept though, an inn only open on Holidays.

Easter Parade: Fred Astaire and Judy Garland are the stars of this movie and as I've previously mentioned, I'm not a huge fan of either one. It's kind of a tradition to watch this movie every year. I think I liked Holiday Inn better than I like Easter Parade.
