Watchmen movie
Watchmen was an absolutely amazing film. If you can get the chance though, I would read the book before you go see the movie. Why? Because half of the greatness of the movie is appreciating how accurately they kept up with the panels from the comic; even shadows …

Kiki’s Delivery Service movie
Kiki’s Delivery Service is, in my opinion, a very aesthetically pleasing movie. The music and the animation flow together well - so well that other than a couple of songs, you barely notice the music. I really liked the initial flying scene as well - I thought it looked …

The first thing …

Ong Bak
It’s a martial-art action movie. Fantastic thai martial-art show, and just an average action film.

War and Peace: A Film by King Vidor (1956)
