After the Thin Man: I enjoyed the Thin Man and so I decided to watch the next movie in the series. This movie was good, however it was not nearly as good as the first one.

My Kid Could Paint That: This is a documentary about child painting sensation Marla, I saw some of this movie in a class in college and thought "why not" when I saw it on the shelf at the library. This film really had me considering things, it hits home especially because I'm an artist and not one that really cares for modernist and post modern art; the art that quite often gets comments like the title of this film. Watch it and make your own conclusion, or don't.

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.

The General: This is a fun silent movie, Buster Keaton is always hilarious. In this movie he's a Southern train engineer during the Civil war and needs to find a way to make the father of the girl he loves approve of him.
Meet Me In St. Louis: I was reminded about this movie by a friend and decided to give it a try since it's a classic. On the whole it's pretty cheesy, although Margret O'Brien was quite good. I suppose that part of the problem is that I'm just not a Judy Garland fan.
