Green Lantern, Your Highness, Hop

Green-lantern-poster5

As much crap as I've heard about Green Lantern, it's quite a bit of fun. Sure it could be better but it's well worth a rental. 3.5/5

 

Your-highness-poster

Your Highness requires lots of beer or other mind altering substances to enjoy. It I was a stoner it would be great. Since I'm not, it's merely average. 2.5/5

 

Hop-poster

Hop was great for my 5 year-old daughter but I didn't quite enjoy it. It was really bad. 1.75/5

Rififi, Kiss Me Deadly, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

Du-rififi-chez-les-hommes

I have always heard good things about Rififi. The rumors are true. It really is a standout in the film noir genre. Plus another film that Brian DePalma clearly rips off. 4.5/5

 

Kiss_me_deadly_poster

Kiss Me Deadly isn't as successful as Rififi. The guy that plays Mike Hammer is a horrible actor and can't carry the film. And Spielberg rips off the end of this film for Raiders of the Lost Ark. 2.5/5

 

Willy_wonka_and_the_chocolate_

I really love Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. The original is just spot on. Dark, comic and manic, everything you want from a kids film. 4/5

Enchanted, The Rainbow Thief, Pinocchio

Enchantedposter6

I've been trying to watch more movies with my daughter. She picked Enchanted. So far we've watched Star Wars, this and Pinocchio. She's getting good taste. 3.5/5

Even if you didn't know that The Rainbow Thief is a Alejandro Jodorowsky film, you could probably figure it out with odd nudity, midgets and giants. It's not a very good movie but if you are a fan of Jodorowsky, it's worth a watch. 2.5/5

Pinocchio looks amazing on blu-ray. The colors are incredibly sharp and bright and the details are amazing. 4.5/5
