The Manchurian Candidate. The original version, starring Laurence Harvey as the Korean war hero who has been brainwashed by the Soviets to be a "sleeper" agent back in America, and Frank Sinatra as his unit commander. The cold and affectless Harvey (ironically, a Russian emigre in real life) was perfect as the robot-like assassin, but Sinatra seemed a little bit out of his league as a worldly intelligence officer (does anyone really believe that The Chairman of the Board could hold a discussion on Orestes and Clytemnestra?). Janet Leigh added nothing (except ten minutes of running time in a slightly overlong movie) as Sinatra's love interest, but Angela Lansbury was excellent as Harvey's conniving, manipulating mother. The line of the movie (by Sinatra): "Columbus is a tremendous football town." Overall, a great film, with a few noticeable flaws: 9.2/10

Marley and Me... saw it with the fam. I'd give it 4/10. A lot of teary eyed girls leaving that theatre. There was even a guy that went running from the theatre sniffling towards the end of the movie.

Breakfast at Tiffany's. Fantastic.

Also, I had forgotten how racist Mickey Rooney's character was. :slappy:

He was in the row behind me and was in such a rush to get out of the theatre that he was pulling the seats in our row back in his scamper out. Marley was getting put down and I was laughing from that guy.

Way to ruin the movie for everyone else, you bastard! :lol:

"Horton Hears a Who", recent animated version. Had some very funny moments but Horton got sort of irritating for me when Jim Carrey would sort of just do his thing randomly. In the book Horton is a bit of a sad sack, but Jim Carrey turned the character into a clownish uber optimist. Eh, it was fun!

-HOLY FUCK WHAT A FUCKING TERRIBLE MOVIE

-Pretty awesome movie. Despite the fact that it looks like a joke movie from the eye patch and the trailers, the movie was pretty sweet. People were whining that it was 'too slow.' I hate people like that.
