It's...."Groundhog Day" (1993)

02 Feb 2007 08:57 AM

"Groundhog Day", starring Bill Murray, is one of the those movies that no matter how many times you watch it, its still pretty funny. Of course, it feels like you've seen it a zillion times, even if you've watched it only three, because of the crux of the story.

The Black Cauldron

"The Black Cauldron", based on the novel by Lloyd Alexander, is a Disney animated feature from 1985. It's quite possible that you've never heard of it. It's the first animated Disney film to garner a PG rating and it is certainly a bit darker than the usual Disney fare.

Pride and Prejudice (2005)

25 Jan 2007 03:40 PM

Fresh off the heels of rewatching "Emma", I was excited to watch this movie (plus, all the commercials had made the movie look terribly romantic). I really thought I would like "Pride and Prejudice" more. I thoroughly enjoyed Emma, but that movie has much more lightness and fun about it.

Howl's Moving Castle

If you've never seen one of Hayao Miyazaki's animated films, you are truly missing great works of art. Normally cartoons are intended for younger audiences, but Miyazaki's films are just as much for adults. The story lines are smart (though sometimes a bit confusing) and interesting.
