Disney's A Christmas Carol
PG
This is probably the best of Robert Zemeckis' motion-capture directorial work (It's way better than that ridiculous "Beowulf"). Mostly to the strength of the original story which is one of my personal favorites. Apart from a few show-offy CGI action scenes really does nothing too new with the story. It's still entertaining for what it is. I saw this on 3-D. It is my best experience with the format but I still don't see the big deal.
Gilda
PG
I can definitely why this is one of Rita Hayworth's most famous (some would say iconic) roles. Not only is she super-hot, sexy and sultry in this one but she actually nails what turns out to be a very complex role of a conflicted, flirtatious torch singer/trophy wife. I was kind of shocked she didn't even get an Oscar nomination for this. Glenn Ford and George Macready are also terrific but it is Rita Hayworth's show all the way.

Oh my God! I can't believe how great this film is. Director Samuel Fuller's lurid tale of a petty thief caught between patriotism and a big pay off from the Communists when he gets a hold of a top secret microfilm pretty much defines why I love movies so much. This is absolute must-see.
