Mr. Smith Goes to Washington: This is one of Frank Capra's greatest movies, I think that everyone should see it, and often. Jimmy Stewart and Jean Aurthur are both wonderful in this movie. I highly recommend it.

Return To Cranford: While this movie was still quite enjoyable with Judi Dench and all the other wonderful actors, and while there was a lovely happy ending, I was rather disappointed with this movie. If you liked Cranford you will probably still enjoy this one but I almost wish that I'd just stopped at Cranford and not seen this movie. Most of the stories from this one come from the Cranford novel and I believe a great deal of them have been made up to create more drama.
Only Angles Have Wings: This movie is a bit more black than a lot of movies but it's still fairly comedic and perhaps even sappy. I really enjoy this movie though, Carey Grant and Jean Arthur are great.
The Princess and the Frog: This movie was good, better than a lot of Disney (excluding pixar) movies have been the last few years. Was it amazing? no, was it a good enjoyable movie? yes, would it scare me if I were still a little kid? yes. I've heard that the firefly is hilarious if you know New Orleans, however I am completely unfamiliar with it so he was only amusing.

Cranford: This is a mini serise based off a book by Elizabeth Gaskill by the same name. Read the book! It's so wonderful and charming. Back to the mini serise, I very much enjoyed it, Judi Dench was wonderful as always. I don't like the serise quite as much as I love the book, the serise has some events and characters added to highten the drama and romance but it was still very enjoyable. I can't wait to see Return to Cranford.
Meet The Robinsons: This is a fun movie, one of the better Disney movies of the last few years. I like the positive message but more than that I love how funny it is!

Holiday Inn: This was the first time I ever saw this movie. I can't remember why but something possessed me to put it on hold, maybe hearing that White Christmas was a sort of sequel to it. Anyway the movie was alright but not my favorite. I'm not a huge fan of either Fred Astaire or Bing Crosby and they're both in this movie. It was a fun concept though, an inn only open on Holidays.
Easter Parade: Fred Astaire and Judy Garland are the stars of this movie and as I've previously mentioned, I'm not a huge fan of either one. It's kind of a tradition to watch this movie every year. I think I liked Holiday Inn better than I like Easter Parade.

Wallace and Gromit the Curse of the Were-Rabbit: Disappointing. I have come to expect more from them.
The Pirate: Move over Pirates of the Caribbean, Gene Kelley is my favorite pirate. I'm not a fan of Judy Garland but I quite enjoyed this movie. The plot's a bit weak but the dancing and acrobatics are amazing!

Mulan: This is one of my favorite disney movies, I was so excited when it first came out, finally there was a disney girl I could identify with. The story is ridiculous historically but what does that really matter? Favorite quote: "Woo, sign me up for the next war!"
Toi et Moi (You & Me): This is a French movie, I'd never heard of it before but I saw it at the library and it looked interesting. This movie was not what I expected, not an American movie, I know that should be obvious but it had a very different feel to it than an American movie, sort of like Run, Lola, Run is very apart from American movies. I hope that makes sense, I don't know how to explain it better. I didn't really like this movie, I wouldn't watch it again. I haven't seen many French movies... actually I might not have seen any other French movies, maybe it's just a French thing...and I take it back, I have seen at least one other French movie.
Les Choristes (The Chorus): This is another French movie but unlike Toi et Moi, I loved this movie, it's such an uplifting movie! Though the subject matters are completely different, this movie made me think of La Vita e Bella/Life is Beautiful; both movies left me with a happy and uplifed feeling. I whole heartedly reccomend this movie to anyone.

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.
