the last thing I saw was Mulan
the plot is straight, lost time, how they managed to spend $ 300 million on it remains a mystery
in common between a cartoon and a film, except perhaps the name

Madame X: An Absolute Ruler (1978) - Several women, all bored with their menial lives, join a lesbian pirate ship and set sail on a kooky adventure.
Easily one of the strangest movies I've ever seen. A character would seemingly meet their demise and then appear in subsequent scenes without any clear explanation. Recommended if you're interested in a fun, surreal experiment--although it's unfortunate that this and the other movies by avant-garde director Ulrike Ottinger aren't more readily available for viewing. 6/10

The Vampire Lovers (1970) 7/10
It holds up in a "Ingrid Pitt Naked" kind of way

I like this movie. Part of Hammer's Karnstein trilogy.

Boccaccio '70 (1962) - Inspired by Boccaccio's novellas, each episode focuses on sex, love and seduction in Italy's 1960s, an era of economic growth and major cultural changes.
Critics didn't care for this, but I thought it was a fine collection of saucy Italian tales. Luchino Visconti's segment stood out the most to me because its tone was the most serious while Fellini's story was the most comical. And dear lord, does Sophia Loren look stunning in the finale by Vittorio De Sica. Also the Blu-ray disc includes the first story by Mario Monicelli omitted from the U.S. theatrical release which acts like an appetizer to the main course that is the rest of the feature directed by the bigger names with the bigger stars. 8/10

Superman Returns
When I first saw this back in 2006 I wasn't a big fan of the movie, I thought it was kind of long and boring... Now 14 years later I watched it again and I'm surprised at how much I liked it. It probably also helps that DC has made some terrible movies lately so in comparison Superman Returns looks like an Academy Award winner. I thought the story was pretty good and now regret that they didn't make a few more movies with Brandon Routh.... I forgot how much Brandon Routh looked and sounded like Reeve... In the end I think this was a great tribute film to Christopher Reeve's version of Superman. I think Reeve would have been proud of it...
Back in 2006 I probably would have rated this 6/10 but today I'd have to give it a solid 8/10

Yeah, i couldn't appreciate Superman Returns like i should back in the day as well... As i get older, i realised i really liked that film. Singer really cought that gentle gaint side of superman, you know. He doesn't throw a single punch in the film...
Donner Superman always avoided fighting... He was a passivest, he didn't believe in violance, he was wise. He could have broken lex's neck without an affored but he didn't belive in that kind of action. Right now, i really admire that Superman.
He had all the power in the world but never used it on anyone... Such a wise guy. I will always charish my Superman box set of Reeve films and Routh film.
Peace.
Superman Returns 9/10

To be fair when your 1000x's stronger than your opponent you don't have to lay a finger on them ... In Superman 2 he had to put on the punching gloves...
