Fred Claus (I thought I was going to hate this one but it wasn't a bad holiday flick.)
The Christmas Toy (One of my favorite little Christmas shorts.)
Mary Poppins
& The Teacher (I know, it really doesn't fit in this list...)

Oh yeah. It's definitely worth the time.
It is Gus van Sant, though, so if you have any reservations about his stuff prior to watching, then keep that in mind.
But I thought it was really very good.

I've only seen one of his films (Elephant) and I really enjoyed it...I'll have to give this one a shot. Thanks!

Arsenic and Old Lace

One of my absolute favourite comedies...if you like classic film and haven't seen this one, you owe it to yourself. Easily one of Cary Grant's best comedic roles :D

I would kill to be in a production of this on stage...don't even care who I'd play. Every single role looks like a blast, I'd love the opportunity just to be part of that kind of production.

I am going to project the rating on my next 3 flix from netflix,

and then rate them after to see if I was dead on...



Pre-rate:

Revolver: probably will hate it, and want to throw up from pointless unexpected blood spurting from someone's mouth at the same time I am taking a sip of something. Will have PTSD from the extreme violence which I have not built up a tolerance for lately with all the fucking Barney watching going on at my home.

The Last Legion: will most likely be pleasantly surprised and want to buy this one because I have no idea why this title is even coming to me because I do not remember ever looking at it or putting it into my cue. Reading the blurbs doesn't shake any memories either.

The Forbidden Kingdom: will love this even if it sucks donkey dick because I am toast when it comes to anything with swords nowadays.

Pretty Jennifer Connely: *tears welling* "We can change".
