The Count of Monte Cristo 2002, PG-13)
My favorite movie with some memorable lines - "You're richer than any man... What do you want to buy? REVENGE! I'm a Count not a Saint..." This says it all for me... Caviezel was fantastic - I became a fan of his acting from this movie... |

fantastic & exciting & beautiful Imax 3D visual effects about love & justice & revenge... fantastic sceneries... Sam Worthington & Zoe Saldana were fantastic together... Director James Cameron was fantastic & extremely creative... felt like I went to a major show like Cirque du Soleil... my pick for 2010 Oscar winner for best picture, best art direction, best cinematography, best film editing, best sound editing, best sound mixing & best visual effects...

Inglourious Basterds 2009, R)
totally enjoyed - funny, serious, revenge, USA wins... Brad Pitt was fantastic & funny especially "speaking" Italian... A Quentin Tarantino success without the profanity... Til Schweiger was great with the knife... Martin Wuttke was great as Adolf Hitler... Christoph Waltz was a fantastic "hunter".... Saw it twice & enjoyed it just as much as the first time... Quentin Tarantino is my pick for 2010 Oscar winner for best Director... Christoph Waltz is my pick for 2010 Oscar winner for best Supporting Actor... |

Casablanca 1942, PG)
Fantastic movie... Bogart is now a favorite actor of mine from this my first movie with him... Great lines "here's looking at you kid" & song line "a kiss is but a kiss..." from "As Time Goes By." This is a movie that I want to see again... Greenstreet & Rains were very good in their supporting roles... Bergman was a pleasure watching as usual... Her interaction with Bogart was electrifing... |

The King and I 1956, G)
I enjoyed this movie so very much that I watched it twice in 2 nights... Brynner is absolutely fanatastic with his frequent lines of "etc etc etc..." Kerr is great as Anna, especially in her determined request for her house... My 2 favorite scenes are Moreno's Siam play version of the American book & the dancing of Kerr & Brynner to "Shall we Dance." Great feel good movie & Brynner deserved that "Best Actor" Oscar award in 1957... |
