Recent movies

Saw the following movies lately:

The Illusionist - Pretty good movie but perhaps I am anti magic....I didn't think this nor Prestige was that great....nor was I fooled by either ending.

Band Of Brothers - excellent series....a really good companion to Saving Private Ryan....and really makes you glad you aren't in combat. The men that are protrayed in this series were/are truly great Americans.

Gridiron Gang - Typical sports movie mixed in with Dangerous Minds kind of theme...bad kids getting a chance and they do well. Some pretty realistic gang scenes though...but pretty much just ok...Rock does a decent job.

Black Dahlia - BORING. Didn't even finish it....dreadfully dull and a waste of a great cast.

All The Kings Men - great cast....a little boring but great acting job by Sean Penn.

Read a book on the history of hollywood and came across some interesting classics that I have never seen....and which are now in my blockbuster online queue.

Purple Rose of Cairo - my last attempt at woody allen
Meet John Doe - a Frank Capra movie I haven't seen with Gary Cooper
Gunfight at the OK Corral - Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas as Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday
The Greatest Show On Earth - Charleton Heston and Jimmy Stewart as carnies
Seven Year Itch - Marlyn Monroe....thought I'd give it a shot
Empire of the Sun - remember it but never saw it
One False Move - early movie with Billy Bob Thorton
Inherit the Wind - Spencer Tracy fights the spread of Darwin's teaching
Grapes of Wraith - Boring book....but Hank Fonda's classic role as Tom Joad
