The Sheik: Rudolph Valentino, I'd heard of the great but never seen a movie with him before. I'm a bit fan of the movie Thoroughly Modern Millie and at one point in the movie Millie raves about this movie, when I saw a copy of The Sheik on the shelf at the library I had to get it. It was interesting, I haven't watched that many silent movies and I think all the ones I have seen have been comedy's. This movie was pretty good and it was very interesting to see a sort of time capsul of how things were, or were seen in the 20s. The copy I watched had music that was from the 80s and it was wonderfully awful synthesizer music, I would love to hear music that would have been more original to the movie.

The Thin Man: I have stayed away from this series in the past, I'm not quite sure why but I think I may have equated it with Perry Mason, which it was not in any way. I really enjoyed the thin man, it was funny, witty, and a pretty good mystery to boot. I didn't really suspect the actual culprit. I think I'll try some more of the series.

It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown: Truly a Halloween classic. Peanuts are wonderful.

Toy Story 3: I was a little skeptical about this movie but it proved to be quite a good show. I do think that the plot got a bit recycled from Toy Story 2, but oh well. The short before the movie, Day and Night, was also quite enjoyable. There were some good laughs and some definite drama and I recommend Toy Story 3.
