One of the most delightful movies I've seen in a long time. It is unbelievably endearing, and an absolute pleasure to watch. The plot seemed a bit schizo (I suspect something was either cut, or was lost in translation) but it didn't matter because every scene was both beautiful and endearing, or hilarious, or all three.

Very beautifully presented, and in some cases quite quirky. I would honestly believe it is dealing with some themes that's far ahead of it's time in the main stream of film. It has a lot of influence from out of body experiences, other realities (e.g. the astral plane), and lucid dreaming. It's quite a remarkable and interesting experience, worth a watch and if you are interested in any of the topics I mentioned above it just may hit close to your heart.

This was a great movie, imo. The atmosphere was very engaging, and you really felt so empathetic towards all characters including the robot. It had a twist that didn't have an "Oh!" moment, but rather something that ticks in your head throughout. A must see!

Beyond The Valley of the Dolls- An old 1970 film about a group of three women becoming rock stars and how they deal with fame, sex, lesbianism, drugs, love, and acohol. Usually old movies have slow pacing. This one didn't but overall it wasn't that good of a movie. I kept my attention, but there wasn't anything that was really interesting, clever, cool, or emotional.
This movie also has one of the weirdest and distateful endings ever. One part includes a man dressed in a cape and purple tights, kneeled over a sleeping naked woman and sticks a gun in her mouth. When she wakes up and screams when she sees in front of her, he pulls the trigger.
Ugh, yuk 5/10.

It's even creepier if you know about Sharon Tate.
Saw Wolf Man. Suprisingly faithful to the original. Very much a Victorian morality tale, although gorier. Nicely moody and atmospheric. At times it seeemed to pay tribute to an American Werewolf in London.
Probably the greatest movie I've ever seen. Thank you.

Be nice please. Just because people don't like what you like, doesn't mean you should insult them. ~Shiny
I was wondering if you were talking to me since this is an old movie and I figured no one else saw it, but after googling that name and looking at the wiki page, DAMN, just damn!
I finally got to see Avatar today. I actually enjoyed it and found it very entertaining. It was definitely worth watching in 3D!
Apparently, I have been declared banished.
In a strange way, you can consider yourself lucky. You saw the movie more or less as intended, without the extra layer of knowledge about the fate of one of the actors. It's like blithely going to see the Dark Knight without knowing anything about Heath Ledger.I was wondering if you were talking to me since this is an old movie and I figured no one else saw it, but after googling that name and looking at the wiki page, DAMN, just damn!
Yeah this movie was weird. I watched it when I was like 13 and only 'cause there was boobs in it. Although I did find it interesting to see that's where the bit before Smoke Two Joints came from.
I got around to seeing Coraline at my sisters.
First I'll say, while the 3D was good, it wasn't particularly spectacular. I don't really understand why people went on about the 3D in this movie. It was little more then an interesting addition, though I wouldn't have paid more extra for it for any reason. And the spider Web scene? No where near as awesome as many claimed.
That being said, this is an amazing movie. The animation and graphics are solid, and the actual designs of characters and world are gorgeous, and down right creepy when they need to be. Any credit this movie deserves graphic wise doesn't go to the 3D effects, but the actually environments and animations themselves.
The story was dark for a kids movie, and manages to remain gripping since the beggining with a great plot and wonderful characters.
9/10
Oops, I didn't read the title carefully enough. Sharon Tate was in the Valley of the Dolls, while Beyond the Valley of the Dolls is a parody by Russ Meyer and Roger Ebert.
Night of the Hunter. Amazing.
"It is a well-known fact that all heroes in all tales disliked vegetables as children.
Their legend begins with their overcoming of this weakness, and then continues with a journey filled with hardships.
That noble vegetable, the onion, lives on as a symbol of hardships overcome, and as the mark of a true hero."
