Jay and Silent Bob go down under.

Machete Maidens Unleashed!" - Documentary about exploitation films produced in the Philippines during the late 60s through about 1980. This is generally a fun, entertaining film that focuses on that small part of the film industry. My only complaint was that the film makers tried to keep the editing style a bit to quick in the beginning when made the opening a bit hard to follow. Otherwise, it was generally entertaining.

Oz: Great and Powerful

Am now watching Corpse Bride

Jack the Giant Slayer (2013) - not that bad, it was entertaining.

Gallipoli

Two Australian runners fight in the Gallipoli campaign in Turkey during World War I.

God Bless America - On a mission to rid society of its most repellent citizens, terminally ill Frank makes an unlikely accomplice in 16-year-old Roxy.

Wreck-It Ralph

I'm not much for Disney anymore, but hey, it was a movie about video games, that was an excuse.

And I thought it was brilliant, the Bad Guy annon in the middle of PacMan, him stealing the fruit, poor Q-bert, Tappers, on and on, it was just really great.

I thought It was original too.... until I realized what it really was: Toy Story with video games. ... It's still great though!

"The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp". Very good film about the changing of warfare. It shows the complexity and humanity of an old kind of solider with his resistance to the way war changed with the world wars. Particularly interesting because it was made in England during WW2.

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone. I enjoyed it.

It stars Steve Carrell and Jim Carey.

Max Payne.
Movie based on a video game, with a much (or in this case, as little) character development as one would expect.

-Bill, otherwise known as Kraichgauer

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) - an alien that lost his ride back home. I remember seeing this when I was little and that alien's noise he made freaked me out then. But I have been hooked to sci-fi ever since then.

I Sell The Dead.
Horror/comedy set in 19th century Ireland. The cast includes Angus Scrimm, best remembered as the Tall Man in the Phantasm movies (yes, according to Wikipedia, he's still alive).

Frankenweenie

A stop-motion film where a young Victor Frankenstein brings his bevolved dog Sparky back to life. Charming film. I enjoyed all the references to classic horror movies and actors.

Sucker Punch (2011)

Jeeeeesus.

Gandhi

Film about the lawyer who, through his philosophy of non-violent protest, led India to freedom from British rule.
