mofette: (Cocktail)
Recently, I went on a bit of a Christmas binge, watching films related to Christmas:
Home Alone 9/10
Home Alone 2 7/10
Home Alone 3 5/10
Home Alone 4 4/10
The Santa Claus 8/10
The Santa Claus 2 6/10
The Santa Claus 3 7/10
Miracle on 34th Street [1947] [not yet, actually]
Miracle on 34th Street [1997] 8/10
Elf 9/10

I don't know whether it was the fact that I was in a Christmassy mood when I was watching them, or that it's hard to mess up a Christmas film, just stick Santa and some elves in and WHOOSH - Christmas, but I really enjoyed them all. I still haven't watched The Polar Express either though, must do that one next year.

From The Big Fat Stinking List of DOOM I have watched these films:
A Clockwork Orange 5/10
2001: A Space Odyssey 5/10
Paths of Glory 6/10
Der Untergang 8/10

I obviously don't care for Kubrick, but next I will probably be watching Full Metal Jacket and Spartacus [possibly also Lolita - although it's not on the list, I feel I should see what all the fuss is about.]

I really enjoyed Der Untergang but it made me realise just how little of the 3 years of German I actually remember. Oops.

I also watched Disturbia 6/10 0 which wasn't bad for a modern horror, but all to predictable - and The Bourne Supremacy 7/10 - which wasn't as good as the first one, but I can't help thinking it's gotta be milked a bit for the next one [are they making the other books]

Also, I have been mostly playing The Godfather, Blackhand edition on my Wii. Love it!
