La Flûte à six schtroumpfs (The Smurfs and the Magic Flute) (1976,  G)
La Flûte à six schtroumpfs (The Smurfs and the Magic Flute) 4.0 Stars
Here's a classic that the whole family will treasure: "The Smurfs and the Magic Flute"! I distinctly remember smurfing it when I was a kid - I was totally smurfed by it!
The story involves a tribe of blue-skinned elves known as the Smurfs who must recover a magic flute that was smurfed from them by a dishonest character.
All in all, if you want to have a smurfing good time, smurf in this amazing animated classic and get ready for a wonderful kaleidoscope of colors and magical characters.
You won't regret it - it's a smurfing good flick!

Heavy Metal (1981,  R)
Heavy Metal 5.0 Stars
For those of you who thought that Betty Boop and Jessica Rabbit were as sexy as cartoon characters could get, here is a film that may well change the way you perceive animation. Indeed, "Heavy Metal" epitomizes the expression "sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll". Featuring extensive scenes of cartoon violence and lots of naked women, this is a far cry from "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs".
This being said, "Heavy Metal" is a wonderful anthology that will undoubtedly appeal to fans of science fiction and fantasy. The stories are very varied and the tone is somewhat uneven, but the animation is always very impressive. My favorite segment is probably the last one, featuring the Amazon warrior Taarna. Perverse and yet strangely beautiful and poetic, it deftly interweaves elements of sci-fi and sword & sorcery. The sketch set during World War II is also a standout. Filled with zombies and blood-curdling terror, it rivals some of George A. Romero's best efforts.
But enough talk - see this film for yourself and indulge in its dubious pleasures. "Heavy Metal" is a visual tour-de-force that must be experienced to be fully appreciated.

Batman Returns 5.0 Stars
This is it: Tim Burton's most perfect masterpiece!!! Kudos to everyone involved: the sets are awe-inspiring and Danny Elfman's score is wonderfully gloomy! Extra kudos to Danny DeVito for turning a comical villain into one of the most memorable tragic monsters ever! His sheer grandiloquence and bizzareness in the role of the Penguin make him worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as Quasimodo and the Phantom of the Opera! Lon Chaney would be proud!
