Inception: This movie was crazy, it was fast paced and well made but when it was over I felt like there were loose ends and that I would need to see it several more times to fully understand it.

Anastasia: The cartoon, that I've loved for years.

Nuovo Cinima Paradiso: This movie is Italian and about a boy and how movies effected his life.

Valkyrie: This is the story of the last plot to assassinate Adolph Hitler, it was a sad movie and sort of hard to watch, knowing from history that they wouldn't succeed. It was interesting to see a different perspective, especially after I recently read In the Garden of the Beast. I don't think I'd watch it again.

Captain America: I really enjoyed this movie, it was good but could still be made fun of while watching. It was cheesy (I think that's inescapable in super hero movies) but not overly so. It was a good plot but while I believe I understand the intent behind the ending, I didn't really like it.

Shadow of the Thin Man: Another lovely jaunt with Nick and Nora.

Secretariat: (Sp?) This movie was good, along the lines of most sports movies, quite a lot of Seabiscut but also a lot of other types of movies. It's a tried and true combination, the long shot team or individual(s) that the crowd and movie goers love to cheer for. I especially enjoyed the streak of women's lib and just having self respect and belief in one's own and others abilities.

We Are Marshal: This is one of those inspirational sports movies, in the 70s a West Virginia football team, coaches etc. were in a plane back from a game and the plane went down killing them all. The school, Marshal University wasn't sure what to do but were persuaded to put a team together to play the next season. It was a very touching and feel good story.
