This was on TV tonight so I caught it. It was pretty exciting when I saw it as a teenager but, when you know the end already, not as much fun. Still, really well made and pleasing to the eye.

This reminded me of all those 80's movies where popularity was just a life-and-death matter only, in this movie, it actually was. The monocle was a nice touch. Pâté, anyone?

Very Clever! I love the way they pieced the amnesia together so that we had no more information than the main character. Very clever, indeed.

(1975) June 12, 2013
This is one of the movies I know by heart! I must have seen this a hundred times. An art house theater was playing this and my son invited me to go with him. Just as good the 101st time.

Woooooo...super surreal. Gritty black-and-white, hallucinations, paranoia, Jewish mysticism and math. Hard to find a movies that incorporates ants and trepanation so seamlessly. It was futuristic and retro at the same time. Couldn't take my eyes off of it.

Love me some Kubrick! The tension in this movie was practically a character of it's own. I read this book when I was a teen and I know the remake is a little truer to the book but I still like this one the best. Heeeeere's Johnny!

Shrek (2001) June 2, 2013
This one's on TV all the time. Very funny. I laugh every time I see it. Great soundtrack and stuffed full of pop culture references to give it a modern-day twist. Still, the anti-stereotype of the spunky princess it getting to be its own stereotype, isn't it?
