It's one of those singing and dancing towns.
The Music Man - 7.5/10. Robert Preston is wonderful as a sleaze, but I don't buy his change of heart. It seems inappropriate for the man to not have to talk his way out of it.

The idea of learning is to be bigger, not smaller.
Born Yesterday - 8.5/10. Everyone in this movie is dimmer because Judy Holliday is beside them.

She kept secrets of pride locked so tight in her heart,
it killed a part of her before the rest was gone.

And me wan' go home.
Coraline - 6.5/10. Direct descendant of 'Beetlejuice,' which is an unfortunate comparison because the anarchy and everything-goes spirit of that movie had a welcome place in an impressive, but surprisingly humorless 'Coraline.'

A Lady's Age happening to be questioned,
she affirmed she was but Forty, and called upon a Gentleman that was in Company for his Opinion; Cousin, said she, do you believe I am in the Right, when I say I am but Forty? I ought not to dispute it, Madam, reply'd he, for I have heard you say so these [last] ten Years.
I will lead you him to whom you love.
Destiny - 4/10. Fritz Lang. Where 'Metropolis' made its point halfway through and then continued to make that point, 'Destiny' marks its intent in the title and insists on going from there. The final act turns interesting and almost slapstick as the dame becomes desperate and begs the old and disabled and the waiting to die for to take her lover's place, them refusing it on the basis of 'at least it's still life,' but that's an hour and some minutes into an otherwise boring movie.

Life might very well lack purpose, and it might very well be a struggle.
But that doesn't mean you have to be an asshole about it.

The beat generation.
Wendy and Lucy - 6.5/10. The world deigns to keep you at your level + hipster drama.
Forgotten to remember what we've chosen to forget.
Waltz With Bashir - 8.5/10. 'It will be no excuse to say: I was just following orders.'
