Days 31, 32 33 and 34

Black Snake Moan (2007)
This movie looked good, but actually wasn't that good.

What's it about?
Samuel L. Jackson sees to it that the nymphomaniac Christina Ricci is cured of her ways. He goes about this by chaining her to a radiator and playing blues music.

Rating
Oh yeah.





Grave of the Fireflies (1988)
This is an animated movie about a brother and sister who survive air raids in Japan during the last days of WWII. Pretty sad. I decided to see this after reading Ebert's essay on it where he said that this movie "belongs on any list of the greatest war films ever made."

Rating
Oh hell yeah.







Transformers (2007)
I don't know anything about the TV show, but this movie was awesome. Really good special effects.

What's it about?
Giant Robots on Earth.

Rating
Aww hell yeah!

Update
I caved and bought one of the toys. Man it's so cool. Took me forever to figure out how to transform it though. That shit was hard.



The Iron Giant (1998)
I should have seen this sooner. Back when it came out, I dismissed it as a kiddie movie based on trailers, but now I know I would have loved it then.

Another important bit of information is that Brad Bird directed this. He also directed The Incredibles and Ratatouille, and he knows his stuff, so that should have been a retroactive tip off as to the quality of this movie.

Aww hell yeah!
