Quantum of Solace: I was a bit dissapointed with this movie, Casino Royal was such a good movie and this one was a little lacking. I am willing to cut it a little slack since the story wasn't actually a by Ian Flemming. Flemming's Quantum of Solace has nothing that would constitute a Bond movie, it's just an ambassador or someone like that, telling Bond a story. I also might not have gotten the whole effect of the movie because I was working on something while I was watching it. I do love Judi Dench as M though.
I Confess: This isn't a movie that I watched recently, it's one that was on the original movie blog that got deleted on accident. For whatever reason I remembered it today and decided to add it on here. I confess is a Hitchcock movie, but not my favorite. The plot is intriguing though, Montgomery Clift is a priest who hears a murder's confession. Suspicions fall on him and his vows don't allow him to clear himself, he has to try and find a way to clear his name.

Okay so I'm going to try and rewrite the last post I made:
From Here To Eternity: I'd heard a lot about this movie, it's famous for the beach make out scene. I really, really didn't like it. It was well made and well acted (Montgomery Clift, Frank Sinatra, Debora Kerr), but it struck a nerve with me and I'd just as soon never see it again.
Dial M For Murder: This was a wonderful Hitchcock movie, with Grace Kelly. I think this might be one of the most satisfying Hitchcock movie I've seen to date, it was perfect. From the beginning of the movie the murder's all set out before you and you are left sitting and waiting and wondering how it will all work out. An interesting side note is that the movie was filmed to be shown in 3D, apparently that was all the rage at the time, however it was naturally so good that it didn't need to be in 3D and so they stopped showing it that way.
The Navigator, The Boat, The Love Nest: Buster Keaton is the king of physical comedy and he's just wonderful in the Navigator, and frankly all of it but I liked the Navigator best. It's amazing to me the self sacrifice that he put into his art, to entertain people. I heard that through out his career Keaton broke every bone in is body...now that's dedication.
The General, The Playhouse, : More wonderful Keaton, there was one more in this set but I can't remember at the moment. See the above comments.
Duck Soup: The first Marx Brothers movie I ever saw and frankly I still think it's the funniest. There are prat falls, one liners, puns, sarcastic remarks and all sorts of fun. The very famous scene where Harpo and Groucho mirrored each other is also in this movie (it's really amazing, you should see it!).
Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow: I think this movie may be totally one of a kind in the way it was made; it was made with real people but everything else is animated into a sort of 40s si-fi/detective movie world. I think little kids would love this movie, and adults too. It's a thrilling adventure.
City Lights: Charlie Chaplin, just a nice, sweet, funny movie. Chaplin is wonderful as always, in fact in one scene he brought tears to my eyes I was laughing so hard. I think this movie is up there with the best of Chaplin.
