Bedtime For Bonzo (1951)
One of the sillier classic comedies. I never saw any of the sequels to this, but really, you couldn't get a whole lot farther than this. One of these movies goes a long way. 2.5 stars.
A Goofy Movie (1995)
Plot: When Max makes an preposterous promise to his girlfriend, his chances to fulfilling it seem hopeless when he is dragged onto a cross-country trip with his embarrassing father, Goofy.
I got this not knowing if it was going to be stupid or cute. It was a little bit of both. It was incredibly corny in places but still managed to keep me laughing. 3.5 stars.

Domestic Disturbance (2001)
Ehhhh... okay. Not much as far as thrillers go, there was only a little bit of suspense that was held out all the way through. I did like how they portrayed the villain though: as a very normal person. Not some psycho who kills people because he loves to kill, or because he's bored... but a very sane gangster who wouldn't just randomly hurt anybody. And... the big shocker... the victims were actually smart in this movie! Some very smart moves in here... 3 stars.
Conspiracy Theory (1997)
This is one great movie. I'm not a huge fan of Julia Roberts, but she was great - very practical, very down-to-earth... and Mel Gibson was fantastic. That one scene where he's in the wheelchair and trying to get away had such an eerie nightmarish feel that it thoroughly freaked me out. And I did NOT see the end coming... Great build-up, great humor, great everything. 4 stars.
Cinderella 2 (2002)
Who, who, WHO agreed to make this movie? I think I am just completely against making sequels to movies so old that none of the original actors are alive. Not only did the voices sound completely different from the originals, the plot seem incredibly constrained, and the soundtrack become reduced to a pop diva sound, but they didn't even pronounce their names the same! Jacques became "Jack." Apparently becoming a princess made Cinderella much more English. 0.5 stars.
Charade (1963)
One of the greatest murder mysteries of all time. I totally did not have this figured out by the end. The humorous touches and delightful dialogue make it more than just a simple whodunnit, but that long chase scene is pretty darn cool. 4 stars.

Casablanca (1942)
This movie is truly incredible. I can't praise it enough. Just a brilliantly done movie, with amazing actors, great music, an interesting plot... Man. I love this movie. 5 stars.
