Apocalypse Now (1979)

Date Watched: March 24-25, 2012
Rating: 3.5/5

The fact that this movie took me 2 days to watch says a lot. Martin Sheen is on a confidential mission to kill a now-insane Marlon Brando. What is interesting about this movie is the toll it took on the actors - MS even suffered a minor alcohol during the production. Good movie - but just not for me.

Children of Men (2006)

Date Watched: March 23rd, 2012
Rating: 1/5


Not going to lie - I could barely pay attention to this movie. It was a little bit too depressing for me. Plus, I am not a big fan of Science Fiction movies. I do wish that Clive Owen would do more movies though. I loved him in Closer and Derailed.

Clueless (1995)

Date Watched: March 23rd, 2012
Rating: 5/5

This movie is the best chick flick/high school movie EVER! I am impressed that it made the list! Alicia Silverstone was PRICELESS! I remember when I watched this movie growing up and how I wanted her closet. I also remember being really sad when she gave most of it away. I also love it when I now watch movies that I watched when I was younger because I now get the jokes!

Babe (1995)

Date Watched: March 23rd, 2012
Rating: 2/5

I remember liking this movie as a kid. But watching it now, I was just annoyed. The damn sheep and their "Baas" drove me crazy! Especially when they were talking to Fly! It distracted me from the feel-good story line of the pig. This will defiantly not be watched for a really long time. And to think - I bought the Blu-Ray edition of this!

American Graffiti (1973)

Date Watched: March 23rd, 2012
Rating: 3/5

Not going to lie - this was not one of my favourites. The story line just dragged out. I do realize why it is on this list though (the classic coming of age tale), but still! I have a feeling that George Lucas' films and I are not going to get along in the future. The only thing that I can relate to is cruising around a small town with friends - used to do this all of the time in Mack.

Amelie (2001)

Date Watched: March 22nd, 2012
Rating: 4/5

Feel good movie? Check! English? NO! I was a little confused when I first started watching this move because I had no idea that it was all in French. However, after 10 minutes, I forgot all about what language this film was in. The cinematography in this movie does the translating for you.  I love watching movies like this where the colours just pop out. I should have bought this on Blu-Ray!

Airplane! (1980)

Date Watched: March 22nd, 2012
Rating: 5/5

All of those parody movies (Scary Movie 1-6?, Date Movie, etc.) need to take a lesson from Airplane!. This movie does parody the way it should be! The one-liners are timeless! I probably could write this whole review just using the one-liners. I could watch this movie and over again and NEVER get tired of it!
