Watched Gregory Peck as Ahab in Moby Dick last night on Turner Classic Movies. Directed by John Huston with screen play by Isaac Asimov (of all people!!)
Well done, with fairly realistic seafaring scenes, considering it was done in 1956. Give it a 3*

Borat.
Very funny. Quite obscene. Skewered some of my sacred cows, which made it all the funnier (don't skip the "censored" extras on the DVD). Shalom!

Finding Nemo - I wasn't asked, I was told... But a fun movie, mostly for the characterizations and the "Inside" adult jokes the kids never understand.

...The Last King of Scotland...Forrest Whittaker is amazing as Idi Amin.
The film has many terrific moments, but focuses too much on the doctor telling the story as opposed to detailing Amin more. But well worth seeing. Best, C.

The Departed
Watched it last night. (4-16-07) Jack Nicholson-as usual- was great. That other guy- I think it was Matt Damon- ok. That other guy- Mark Walhberg- horrible actor. That other guy- Leonardo DiCaprio- what a really crappy TV actor he is. My wife made the comment every time he hit somebody- "He hits like a girl!" Scale of 1 to 10: 7, only cause Jack is such a loon!

Empire of the Sun
This on is about the invasion of Shanghai (the Brit colony on the Coast of China) by the Japanese after Pearl Harbor as seen from the eyes of a 12 year old boy separated from his parents and caught up in an internment camp. Old School Drama is where I’d place this one. I liked it quite a lot, but some won’t. Grim at times and a little depressing of an end, even if it was ultimately supposed to be a happy ending. I still give it

Hellboy, The Sword of Storms -- woulda been okay on Saturday morning...
Curse of the Golden Flower -- thoroughly enjoyed it. A large scale drama (including an extended war sequence) made me think of an opera or Shakespeare.

Night At The Museum.
Good special effects, entertaining enough but overall rather forgettable. At least it had Mickey Rooney and Dick Van Dyke.

Casino Royale... Don't know what others saw in this one,but I could not get through it. Here we go again...all special effects...no story.Absolute boredom.I turned it off with no regrets...bring back the old James Bond mystique.
Pursuit of Happyness..slow at times, but very enjoyable.Will Smith deserves all the recognition he received for this one. A Night to Remember.This is the laserdisc version (Criterion) and it is the best story of the Titanic tragedy and mystery I've personally seen.Fantastic movie. Cameron's '97 Titanic was not all that bad,but it was too much of a love story for my taste.Great music and sound,tho'.If anyone has the DTS laserdisc version of this latest movie and wants to part with it..I'm willing to take it off your hands.

Kiki's Delivery Service
Wonderful Japanese Anime. We rented it for our grandsons. It's the story of a 13 year old witch who goes on her year's sabbatical to discover her abilities and talents. It's a great story excellently done.
I give it Also check out other films by Hayao Miyazaki, especially Totoro. These films may be aimed at children, but my wife and I thoroughly enjoy them. Doug

The Incredibles
A wonderfully fun animated movie filled with lots of adult humor and satire. I'd like to see them do a sequel to this. The ending surely hinted at the possibility.
