Rio: I wasn't sure what to expect from this movie but I did enjoy it and I did laugh out loud while watching it. I was pleasantly surprised I also thought it was weird.

Foreign Correspondent: Another Hitchcock movie, I believe this was his second movie made in the US, possibly the third. This movie was good, and it was probably more exciting in it's day, due to what was going on in the world (WWII) and compared to what was going on in movies of the day. It's not my favorite Hitchcock movie but it's not at all a bad movie. It's very similar to North by Northwest, or rather the other way around.

Keeper of the Flame: This was an interesting movie, rather thought provoking more so I'm sure when it first came out. I think it could have been better if directed by Hitchcock at least action wise. Interesting to see younger Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy together.

The Bridge Over the River Kwai: This movie was well made, a good plot, my thoughts after the movie were all about the strangeness of human nature, particularly that of the characters and how they should have done things different. I think it's a good sign if you're thinking about how the characters should have done things different because the movie was good enough that you weren't distracted by the plot being lame etc. I did notice though that William Holden played his standard role of cynical, playboy American.

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.

From Russia With Love: Second of the James Bond movies, also second time for Sean Connery as Bond. It's interesting having seen only four Bond movies, the most recent two and the first two made. I don't recall if there were so many cheesy lines in the more recent Bond movies, but there were a lot of them in this movie, I would have had a hard time keeping a straight face. I wouldn't go back and watch this again.

Prince of Persia: My favorite part of this movie was mocking it. My teenage brother thought it was great, and there in seems to be the difference, he was apparently the target audience and I was not. I felt this movie drew far too much on other action movies, Indiana Jones and the Lord of the Rings among them. I also felt that the action, slow motion special effect was over used, too much of a good, or not so great thing.
