Tonight I watched Turner's tv replay of King Solomon's Mines with Stewart Granger, Deborah Kerr and Richard Carlson. Great adventure flic, the second movie to be made by MGM on location in Aftrica. First rate adventure. Can you believe I first saw it in the theater in 1950?

Full Metal Jacket
This is the first time I've watched it, it's amazing!
Both the boot camp and the war segments are riveting. |

I liked the first half but when it became more Zombie film than Sci Fi it turned me off a little, still it was enjoyable. |

La Misma Luna (Under the Same Moon)
I usually have to be dragged to these types of movies. My daughter insisted on going for extra credit in her AP History class. Made me cry. A poignant and very well crafted tale of a mother and son's story of being an illegal alien and trying to reunite across the border. |

"Beowulf". It was OK, but the animation takes some getting used to.
Like watching a PS3 or something Also watched "Enchanted" with the kids which was OK too, Pretty formulaic, but hey,it's a Disney fairy tale spin-off.....

Was that me? I can never tell.
Under the Same Moon, I had to look up the genre, it's Art/Foreign, Drama and Politics/Religion. It's hard to describe. It's more than about illegal immigration, desperation and struggling to survive, it's about love, life, death and triumph of the human spirit. It filled with adventure and some funny scenes too. If there is a little softy in you... you will love it. |

I enjoyed it a lot,too.Its really just a wish fullfillment fantasy for the immigrant audience,which is ok by me.I love romantic comedies,and thats all they really are,too,when you think about it.

Dewey Cox
A send up of many different music biopics.
There's a bit with "The Beatles" (Jack Black as Paul) that's funny as hell. |

Last weekend I saw "into the wild".
perfect casting, however i thought the movie sucked from a visual standpoint. also the chronology was all over the place. I'm not sure if this was how the book was written, but i found it very unnecessary and hard to follow. i think the film would have been much stronger had it been directed by someone like Ang Lee. just my .02
