I began watching Vertigo today in Lit/Comp.

Saw Gotcha!(8/10) on On Demand and saw Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street(8/10) on DVD last night.

Today I watched Biloxi Blues(7/10) on On Demand.

La Vita è Bella(aka Life is Beautiful) starring Roberto Benigni.

Unfortunately, I watched the English dub as it was the only one available to me, but even with that, this was one of the most wonderful stories I've ever seen realized on film. 10/10

Marujas Asesinas (Killer Housewives)

The Black Cauldron
-I think this movie is pretty underrated.

Castle in the Sky
-I liked this movie a lot.

My Neighbor Totoro
-Not my favorite Miyazaki film, but not bad.

RoboCop 2
-It was all right, but a little too gruesome at times. They seemed to start with development for RoboCop/Murphy, but didn't follow through with it enough.

Today, I watched The Devil's Rejects, Lords of Dogtown, House of 1000 Corpses, Reservoir Dogs, and Ken Russell's The Devils.

Hoorah!

I watched Blades of Glory this afternoon.

Chinese Hercules (a must for Bolo fans but keep in mine he's only a guest role & not the star as the movie claims) 4 out of 6

When Taekwondo Strikes (Fist of Fury = Hapkido = When Taekwondo Strikes.....they all have the same plot basically) 4/6

Infernal Street 3/6 (not as spectacular as I'd imagine , just ok)

Project A 4.5/6

Dragons Forever (I'm not much of a fan of slap stick in martiaø arts films....) 3/6

Magnificent Warriors (what a snooze fest & that same annoying boring tune over & over & over again :/ 2/6

What's Up Doc (I don't care what people say....Barbra is hawt 4.5/6

I saw the Spiderwick Chronicles, It's a great film...

Velvet Goldmine

A bit over-ambitious and confusing, but with great music, characters and costumes

Zodiac - 8.5/10; interesting storyline and good acting.

I Know Who Killed me - 7.5/10. Let me down a bit, from the previews I wasn't expecting reality to piece up that much (its an entertaining way of handling intricacies that you can't figure out how to articulate without pulverizing reality but still, it robs the movie in the end IMO).

Revolver - Won't even rate it. Seems like a really cool movie, until the end when you realize what you just watched. One bright side though - at least it wasn't Scientology...

Lars and the Real Girl

Excellent movie, very sweet (but not saccharine), I recommend it to everyone. The main character and the brother's wife are well casted and do a fantastic job.

As a side note, it's ridiculous that none of the local cinemas are showing this film. I am not going to drive an hour to see a film. Hence why I saw this film in pirated form. I do intend to pay for the DVD at a later date though.

Houseboat 4/6 (gawd , Loren is sooo....I dunno what to say

This week I watched Galaxy Quest and Rat Race.

Howl's Moving Castle
-Another great Miyazaki film

American Gangster

Amazing
