Breakfast At Tiffany's (1961)

Wow. I liked this movie. Holly is a fascinating character and the movie did a great job of building on that. Overall, a very good film. I'd watch it again, definitely. Oh, and "Moon River" also goes on my list of reasons to like the movie. 4 stars.

Call Northside 777 (1948)

Jimmy Stewart always rules. But apart from that, this movie was pretty unmemorable. To tell the truth, I can't even remember what it was about. 1.5 stars.

Another Thin Man (1939)

As murder mysteries go, it was pretty mediocre, but Nick and Nora are so great together and play off of each other so well, it was still incredibly easy to watch. Please note that, yes, this is exactly the same review as I wrote for The Thin Man. With these, you've seen one, you've seen them all - but they're fun anyway. 3.5 stars.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1920)

Fascinating story. I've always loved it. This version is pretty high-quality, although I don't care much for silent films - I can never resist making up new lines for them. Oh, and I do have two questions. One: Was that Italian girl supposed to be dancing? And two: What was with the Hyde-spider?! 3 stars.

Cheaper By the Dozen (2003)

Gosh, I hope our family doesn't turn into them. Talk about out of control. He had to hire help for three days? When he had two teenagers to help him out? With that in mind, however, there were a few genuinely funny bits, making it good for the one viewing. There's no reason to watch it again. 1.5 stars.

Gigi (1958)

Lerner and Loewe were an interesting pair. They gave us the comedic My Fair Lady, the tragic Camelot, the very boring Brigadoon, and the I-have-never-seen-it Paint Your Wagon, which were very balanced musically. The first two were amazing, the second two were horrendous. So I was interested to see which category this fell into. Well, it was pretty evenly balanced - right in between. We've got mostly very mediocre songs like "The Night They Invented Champagne" and then suddenly we've got a sweet, funny, romantic song like "I Remember It Well." The actual story dragged out forever, and none of the characters really hit me as being intriguing, or really even vaguely interesting. However, this notice does bring one to ask - what IS it about Lerner and Loewe movies that their leading men simply talk their songs? There are some loely melodies - so why aren't they used? Argh. 3 stars.

Deathtrap (1982)

Wow. Not quite as wow-inducing as Sleuth, but still...wow. This is one of the very few movies where I had no inkling of the major plot twist. I mean none at all. And then it just kept surprising me. As far as mind-bending "who's good, who's bad" movies, this one definitely makes the top five! 4 stars.
