It's starting to lose it's funniness for me. It happens with every comedy for me, sadly.

The Devil's Brigade. A movie about GI misfits and Canadian soldiers fighting in Nazi-occupied Italy. I've always loved this movie, it just feels special because it feels like good WWII movies about Canadian forces are few and far between.

Once

A lovely, understated little Irish drama about the friendship/borderline romance which develops between a native busker and an immigrant flower seller (creditted simply as "Guy" and "Girl") throughout a few fleeting days spent in one another's company. The character interactions have a pleasingly Before Sunrise/Before Sunset vibe to them (if you're a fan of those films, then be sure to check it out), the narrative is simple, but manages to convey quite a lot of emotional weight, and the music is a real joy. All in all, it's a fine addition to the mini-genre of unconventional love stories.

The Nightmare Before Christmas. I picked up the new 2 disk special edition today and actually got my parents to sit down and watch it.

Frankenweenie. I'm surprised at how much I enjoyed this cute take on the Frankenstein story. I particularly enjoyed the 1950's style that the film pulled off so well.

The Muppet Movie

A great old classic which never gets old - narratively, it's a very uncomplicated Point A to Point B situation, which sees Kermit the Frog voyaging to Hollywood in the hopes of making it big, encountering and picking up the various other Muppets along the way (sans Rizzo, Pepe and all those others who didn't show up until a lot later), but it works very nicely, assisted no end by its playful, entertaining script, the genuine underlying sense of warmth and earnestness which runs strongly throughout (at the core of which lurks a pretty serious commentary upon commercialism when it comes at the expense of artistic integrity), and of course the two dozen or so celebrities who each manage to pop up at some point upon the Muppets' route to stardom - of which Cloris Leachman and Dom DeLuise are particularly good, and Orson Welles, needless to say, is absolutely priceless. My favourite human character though has to be Austin Pendleton's Max - he's just so sweet and funny.

I miss the Muppets' glory days. I really hope that they can get back upon their fuzzy little feet some time soon.

Heart and Souls

This is one movie that MUST be released on DVD in Australia... if it hasn't yet. This is a great movie, although I tend to watch the comedic parts than the dramatic parts. But, it's still a great movie, and a must for fans of Tony Stark (AKA Robert Downey Jr

)!

Last movie
was "HAIRSPRAY" 2008 with Amanda Bynes and Zac Efron, etc.
I'm a sucker for those musicals.

the dark night

i gotta say... for the first time... ever...

something that is considered overrated wasnt.

in my humble opinon, i gotta say that this is probably the best movie ive ever seen.

Spoiler Below

when i saw the scene at the very begginning where the joker gets his mooks to off each other, i was seriously starting to wonder if it could get better. lets just say i thought the same thing about every other scene in the movie. it was just one long stream of never-ending awesome. Also, was anyone else scared by two-face? or am i the only one. i must be, since a little five-year old was watching the same movie and thought he looked cool. he will return in "my nightmares." also starring heath ledger starring as nurse joker.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Never actually saw it until now and I got to say, it was surprisingly impressive and at times breathtaking. It was a very long but very good movie with beautiful music and a compelling story. This movie really does hold up the test of time and has some excellent performances and even dialog.

I wasn't aware though this movie was Italian, nor was I aware half the actors were dubbed over English. Didn't make the movie bad or anything i just had no idea this famous movie was Italian and had dubbed over voices.
